Gelaran apek, ah soh mungkin diharam
WARTAWAN SINAR HARIAN
21 Januari 2013

BANDARAYA MELAKA - Gelaran yang mencerminkan perbezaan sesuatu bangsa seperti apek dan ah soh mungkin akan diharamkan penggunaannya oleh petugas jabatan dan agensi kerajaan negeri.

Ini berikutan hasrat Pengerusi Kelab Penyokong Barisan Nasional (BN) Kota Melaka, Datuk Mohammad Ahad membawa cadangan itu ke perhatian Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.

Menurut Mohammad, segelintir pihak, terutama pesara kerajaan, telah menyuarakan perasaan tidak puas hati mereka apabila dipanggil dengan gelaran sebegini apabila berurusan rasmi, termasuk dengan bank.

Sehubungan itu, Mohammad berkata, beliau akan berbincang dengan Mohd Ali bagi memastikan kakitangan kerajaan tidak menggunakan gelaran sedemikian apabila berurusan.

pls la got time go catch crimes, why do rubbish things

ah pek is hokkien basically mean a person is elder n single forever

apa ketahian ini, this also can masuk paper.

ehh ah pek usually used to call your uncle(bro to your father) and ah soh (your bro's wife) in hokkien as well wor

this one also being an issue ah...

panggil ah beng boleh?

Mesti baba nyonya la ni.kebanyakan mereka gelar diri sendiri makcik pakcik.byk staf gomen luar melaka.

Ni yg byk budak luar nk kena penyapu ni

apa maksud ah beng?

Stupidity is an infinite resource I tell u...infinite

Panggil siao lan more appropriate for this ppl

Then uncle and auntie,pak cik mak cik also have to ban?

pi baling batu dalam seluar plak

sohai nothing else to do

this is retard

agak agak la

Ah Siao

panggil limpeh and linlaubu.

Interestingly, Malay word for uncle, Pakcik is the combination of Pak (Eldest Uncle in Cantonese) Cik (Younger Uncle in Hockien).

so the situation is the same as "Macha" word right?

banned,and now apek also banned?

bodoh punya BN. yang mulut lancau orang melaka tu taknak pulak kata budaya taik

this oso wan to butthurt ka

You guys are reading it wrong. They are trying to "civilize" the government servants into not using racial terms when serving and using correct BM language. No more calling ahpek to the elderly Chinese. The article only said "seperti apek dan ah soh" but it can encompass other terms like "ane" or "macha" when talking to Indians.

I think it's just a petty matter but perhaps it's a small step in slowly improving their language.

Or maybe it's a backhanded remark saying elderly Chinese people are complaining about tiny little things.

too free nothing better to do ??

freakin puhniaboh nothing better to do.

"Ah pek" and "ah soh" addressing elderly people with respect.

muka cetak x mati

kebodohan tahap dewa.......
terlalu senang untuk kerja yang bodoh..
ada masa go tangkap pencuri la...
bodoh

nice...they just lost the banker's vote

after this ah beng rempit oso banned in melaka..

just banned ah jib gor

what is wrong with ah pek or ah soh? Why is it offending?

I think maybe some ladies in their 20s/30s complain because being called ah soh due to face problem

he dont even know what ah pek and ah soh means in the 1st place... then not even bother to ask ..... translate google can get answer .... wanna ask chinese but no chinese worker in gov sector .... so in de end only solution is to ban lar.....

then how about in KL? Amoi , chai also tak boleh lah?

Kecian Saiful Apek kena ban....

Ah soh, ban mee satu!

Calling your dad's brother Ah Pek is as legit as it gets.

Gila mia ban

sapa yang bagi cadangan bodo nie..

single forever? are u even sure u speak hokkien?

then elder and NOT single is call wat?
