Editing Malaysian English (section)

==Role of Malaysian English in Independent Malaysia==
Even though Malaysian English is not the official language of Malaysia, it is still used among Malaysians in business. About 80% of urban businesses in Malaysia conduct their transactions in English (both Malaysian English and [[Manglish]]).{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} However, American English has quite a strong foothold in international businesses in Malaysia. Malaysian English is also widely used in advertising sectors, especially commercial advertisements aired in private TV stations, primarily [[Media Prima]]-owned TV stations. Most of [[Malaysia]]n people, especially Chinese and Indians have tendencies to speak in English instead of Malay when they are interviewed on television. In terms of education, private universities and colleges in Malaysia mostly use Malaysian English for their identities. Most of Malaysian companies and organisations have started using their official name in English instead of Malay to keep up with modernisation in recent years.

In music industry, singers such as [[Siti Nurhaliza]], [[Yuna (singer)|Yuna]] and [[Reshmonu]] also performs songs in English. There are several [[English language]] national [[daily newspaper|daily]] and [[business newspaper]]s based in [[Kuala Lumpur]] namely The Malaysian Reserve, [[The Edge (Malaysia)|The Edge]], [[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]], [[The Sun (Malaysia)|The Sun]], [[New Straits Times]] and [[Malay Mail]]. There are also many [[English language]] national [[commercial broadcasting]] [[radio station]]s based in [[Kuala Lumpur]] such as [[TraXX FM]], [[Hitz (radio station)|Hitz]], [[Mix (Malaysian radio station)|Mix]], [[Lite (radio station)|Lite (formerly known as Light & Easy)]] and [[Fly FM]] ([[Peninsular Malaysia]] only). However, Malaysia does not have any [[television station]] which broadcasts purely in English. The Government National Language policy requires local [[television station]]s to air at least 25% Malaysian-made programmes (either [[Malay language|Malay]] or [[English language|English]]). [[English language]] nationwide [[free-to-air]] [[terrestrial television|terrestrial]] [[television station]]s based in [[Kuala Lumpur]] such as [[TV1 (Malaysia)|TV1]], [[TV2 (Malaysia)|TV2]], [[TV Okey]], [[Sukan RTM]], [[Berita RTM|Berita RTM (RTM News)]], [[Bernama TV]], [[TV3 (Malaysia)|TV3]], [[DidikTV KPM]] ([[NTV7]]), [[PRIMEtime]], [[Showcase Movies]], [[Astro Awani]], [[Astro Arena (TV channel)|Astro Arena]] and [[Astro Arena (TV channel)|Astro Arena 2]] do air some English Malaysian-made programmes.
