QUOTE(WillHung @ May 12 2009, 08:31 PM) I think it's a shame the Malays prefer to use Arabic names and not retain their original traditional Malay names. It is because we adpted from Islam way. Like if non-Muslim etc: Chinese or Indian convert to islam,they will change their name simmiliar with their old names meaning but toa arabic word. |
