    English speaking is very common nowadays, but if she can speak Chinese, it will be an advantage for her in the future. We can see now the economic development in China is beyond expectation.

    As a Chinese Malaysian, one of my cousins married an Italian girl whilst studying in the UK in the 1980s. He brought her back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and had a daughter with her. At a young age, and after she started going to kindergarten and primary school, she became a natural polyglot. She spoke English with her father, Italian with her mother, Hakka with her grandmother, Cantonese with her Chinese school mates, and Malay with her Malay schoolmates. However, most Chinese Malaysian were trilingual at that time, being taught and speaking English and Malay in the national school system, and speaking at least one Chinese dialect with their immediate family (depending on which part of China they originated from) and the main Chinese dialect in the Malaysian state that they resided in. For instance, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor were considered Cantonese speaking states, Ipoh a Hakka speaking state, Penang a Teochew/Hokkien speaking state, and Johor a mainly Hokkien speaking state. Cantonese was the most widely spoken Chinese dialect in South East Asia from the 1970s to the 1990s due Hong Kong's dominance of international business and trade in the region, as well as Hong Kong soft power due to Cantopop and Cantodrama.
    Unfortunately, since the late 1990s, most of the younger Chinese generation in Malaysia now cannot speak any dialects, with Mandarin replacing most of the Chinese dialects which had been prevalent in Malaya/Malaysia for almost two centuries. One of the main reason for this was the rising dominance of China as Asia's economic superpower, as well as the influx of Chinese tourists and business from China after 1997. Why 1997? Well, prior to 1997, China did not allow its citizens to have passports, and only elites from the Communist Party could get them. However, after the Handover of Hong Kong in 1997, the Chinese government started allowing its citizens to obtain passports, and the rest is history.
    Ironically, Canada and Vancouver in particular, was a favourite emigration destination for many Hong Kongers prior to the 1997 handover. Many of them took up Canadian citizenships due to the fear of Hong Kong's handover to China. Vancouver was actually known as little Hong Kong due to the many Hong Kongers who migrated there. In fact, many Hong Kongers became "taikonauts" at that time, as they would obtain Canadian (and other countries citizenship such as Australian, British, American, etc) citizenships, and fly back and forth from Hong Kong where they family resided to the country of their adoption just to ensure that their foreign citizenship right continued.

    It's easy for children to learn another language. If children grow up in a Chinese family setting, it's natural that they will pick up Chinese as well. Many Chinese knows the English language too. So either way, it's good to know another language, but wouldn't be 'too' surprised.
