    English was introduced to Malaysia through colonialism, trade, and Christian missionaries. It became the language of British administration and was taught in schools set up by missionaries, though education was divided by geography and race with English targeted at the elite. Over time, English became a prestige language but its role created dissatisfaction, so the status of the Malay language was elevated. This led to a decline in English proficiency with ongoing discussion around the status and role of English in Malaysia and its implications for education as the country works toward its Vision 2020 goals.
