Like me, many people go on to junior high school when they complete Chinese-language primary school, but the Chinese education we receive is incomplete, or as we say locally, "half a bucket of water," influenced by the local languages and dialects to form a unique Malaysian version of Chinese.
至於像我這樣，華小畢業後升上國中的人很多，我們受的不是完整的華文教育，按本地說法是「半桶水」，揉合了本土語言和方言等各種影響，形成獨特的馬來西亞華語。
