It all depends on one's passion, commitment and devotion in life as language is just a medium to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. And English is only important if one wants to explore the 'world and universe' beyond one's coconut shell. Otherwise it can be unimportant after all.

Hence, one may argue that it's important to ensure some ppl do not learn this language as it opens door to understand a 'multiverse as well as a parallel universe' - if the intention is to confine them within the Plato Cave

Maybe that Malay lady is a Singaporean. Singaporean Malays can speak English well
