By the way, I’d evaluate Khairy’s quote and found his English to be fine.

SHOULD BE:

cyberspace is a medium of communication and political strength. the party will lose support from the young if it does not have an Internet presence.

1. He said cyberspace was both a medium of communication and a political strength and the party would lose support among the young if it does not have an Internet presence.

2. Khairy said Umno faced the challenge of conveying “the truth and the real news” and to overcome the public tendency to be influenced by sensational and unsubstantiated news.

3. “If we do not have Internet presence, we will lose support among the young, who only see the world through the Internet,” he said here yesterday.

4. “We view the opposition’s campaign through the Internet seriously,” he said, adding that Umno was ready to take them on.

5. “We have a website and the writers for it. But, unfortunately, the phenomenon on the Internet is still to sensationalise news.

6. “So, we need a correction mechanism. It is difficult to find credible sources, compared to the traditional media,” he said.

7. On the threat by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to sue him over his alleged remarks that the former deputy prime minister is a Jewish agent and a traitor to the Malay cause, Khairy said he would not apologise for anything he had said.

8. He said being bilingual was nothing unusual and today’s employers would view a potential employee who knew three languages as someone who could be chief executive officer or vice-president of a company.

9. “It is important to master languages. While I do not want a discrimination of languages, do not forget the need to be fluent in certain languages. You have to value language as a communication tool,” he told reporters yesterday after launching the My Career & Education Fair 2007.

10. Khairy said graduates needed to ensure they were fluent in a few languages instead of complaining about the strict conditions a company might impose on them requiring them to speak certain languages.

11. He was asked to comment on whether being proficient in Mandarin was now seen as an advantage in the working environment.

12. Khairy also reminded fresh graduates not to be fussy when seeking their first or second jobs, as these were the ones that would provide them the experience and knowledge to get their “dream job” in the future.

13. He said the problem facing the employment market was matching the existing skills of a worker with the available jobs.

14. Khairy said those who graduated with a Master’s degree should not immediately assume that they would be employed, as their qualification may not match the job they applied for.

15. Earlier in his speech, he said globalisation was not just a threat but also offered many opportunities where large foreign corporations had a “fierce desire” to market their services to Malaysians besides using the country as a hub for other Asean countries.

A million thanks for those who could explain these mistakes.
