'I can speak in English,' says Muhammad Taib

Umno deputy-president candidate, Senator Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib, is aware that there are people talking about his apparent lack of fluency in English.

Muhammad said that he was the only Malay who graduated from Universiti Malaya with a first class honours in History in 1979.

“All my previous exams were also conducted in English - the London Cambridge Examinations and the Malaysian Cambridge Examinations.”

Muhammad added that when he was the Selangor Mentri Besar, he had managed to produce dozens of millionaires.

“The thing is, I am only the Rural and Regional Development Minister now which is why you would only be reading small stories about me.

“Try and give me the International Trade and Industries Ministry and you’ll see,” he quipped.

PUZZLING Q:

Didn't he told the court in Australia that he did not understand the notice at the airport that was written in Australian English?

Maybe, Australian English is not London Cambridge English.

Whaaaaat!!!!!!Trade & Industry Minister. Good Lord, all the APs will only be awarded to one guy and he will be none other than Mike Tyson himself.

ps Of course, he can speak English and very good at that. I heard him myself during several ceramahs I attended prior to March 08.

Is there such an an exam known as the London Cambridge Examinations and Malaysian Cambridge Examinations?? As far as I remember, in our time we sat for the Lower Certificate of Education, (LCE) in Form 3 now known as PMR and the Malaysian Certificate of Education (MCE or GCE "O" levels) in Form 5, now known as SPM.

No wonder his academic qualifications so canggih ones!

Diambil, tokok tambah dari Tukar Tiub.... Mat Tyson " me no pil pom " bila di tanya oleh airport security. " me no neet pil pom, me big chif selangor, you tabik me, ok?" sambung Mat Tyson lagi. Dengan jawapan yg sungguh lancar dan fasih tu la yg menyebabkan Mat Tyson tu di heret ke mahkamah Australia. " me big chif selangor, you tabik me , ok"????? LOL!

Will he marry the queen's daughter just because he knew how to speak 'English'!I understand just because he can speak 'Bahasa Malaysia' he married 'King's daughter!

to be honest, when u 'touched' the ego of a malay, they tend to speak without even using their brain (assuming that they had one or if they ever used it). that is why it is much easier to find liars in them. I'm not a racist but this what we seen so far in malaysia.

Ha ha is there such thing as the London Cambridge Examinations and the Malaysian Cambridge Examinations.

During his time, the exam for Form 5 was Malaysian Certificate of Education(MCE) and the Form 6 exam was Higher School Certificate(HSC) which both were in collaboration with the University of Cambridge,UK.

As for Form 3 exam, it was call the Lower Certificate of Education(LCE) and not the London Cambridge Examinations.

This bozo has also mistaken MCE as Malaysian Cambridge Examinations instead of Malaysian Certificate of Education.

Ha ha ha this joker really speaks England.

Clear signs of a man clutching at straws to win at all cost, this M2-Tait. But his desperation is so pathetic he's exposing himself further. He's refering to the 2 nationwide examinations in sec. school during his time, LCE & MCE, as London Cambridge Examinations and Malaysian Cambridge Examinations.
They actually stand for Lower Certificate of Education & Malaysian Certificate of Education, dumbo !!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry for him. A true testament to the quality of the product of the NEP of his time.

I am no fan of MuhdX2 but you people seem to only know LCE and MCE. Is there anyone old enough here who took their Form 5 exam before 1971 (I did MCE). It was know as SC, Senior Cambridge then. Exam set and marked in Cambridge.

How old is Muhdx2 by the way? Tq

You see the common trend with everyone associated with Dollah Badawi ? They're all liars ! In Mat Taib's case either he's lying now or he lied in the Australian court about his English. He also lied to the late Sultan about marrying his divorced daughter. The worst thing is, he'll continue lying when lying serves his purpose.

Surprise, surprise! Our friend speaks English when he doesn't break the law!

I would like to hear what the Aussie High Commissioner have to say about this! Hehehehe....

AND THIS GUY COULD END UP AS A DPM..

*?^%>@#^% !!!

Since Mat Taib graduated in 1979 and assuming his degree was a 4 years course, then he might took his HSC in 1975 ie Form 6 and his Form 5 in 1973 asumming that he did not retake any exams. Since it was after 1971, the exam he took in Form 5 should be MCE and not SC.

If he had taken MCE in 1973 and as all the subjects were then conducted in English it is not possible that his English is bad unless his grades for all the English taught subjects were bad or just a pass ie grade 8.

Just wonder what medium instruction was his degree in MU was conducted in? Malay? Jawi?, Arabic?, and definitely not English.... ha ha ha ha

Come on you guys. We are on to his English proficiency here and not his political ideologies. In case you guys don't know, Tan Sri speaks so much better English than the current UN Sec-general from S.Korea and closer to home, Tan Sri Mohd also speaks English better than Tan Sri Lim Keng Yaik. Who cares whether it is Before or After the Aussie case. It is NOW that matters cos if he is elected as the DPM, he may soon be the new PM if the French govt's ongoing investigation is anything to be worried about.

Some people seem to forget what he said before lah!

La Cha Mau - I think you missed the point completely. We(I) know that he is very fluent in English, I think many Malaysians know that but the fact that he can lie with his eyes wide opened at the Australian court is the issue here. So what if becomes the DPM, do you want someone who can lie thru his teeth to be our leader? Maybe you do cause he speaks Cambridge English but many of us prefer a leader who has more to offer than be able to speak fluent Cambridge English.
