Yup. It was in the major Straits ports of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore.

Then came the One China/Puotonghua campaign, and their fierce institutional policies in Malaysia and Singapore from the 90s to the early 2000s. I remember being ridiculed and discriminated against during that time, for speaking my mother's language. Students were whipped in schools.
