Nearly all major subjects except languages are in bm. Guess that system failed if we still need to learn it.

IMHO, i think so too.



hell no

What did i say about chimps of Malaysia?....They come in all shapes and colours. Stupidity and retardation among DAPig supporters sees no boundary.

just like a parent have no rights over their children, or a company no rights over what their employees need or need not have? in Malaysia, the Government asks it's people to speak the national language. I think it's a fair enough requirement.

1. yes a malaysian, but what kind of malaysian? the reason he/she decide not to speak the language speaks about the person.
2.a realist? how so?
3.well-travelled... wha? what does that have to do with anything?? in any case, so most people here who despises the malay language is well traveled? I bet you most of them do not even bother to learn the language of the country their visiting..
4.you can uphold the language spoken by your forefathers no problem. no problem with being traditional as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
but it'd be really great to learn the national language too. if you have not learned it due to the lack of exposure, then I understand, and I hope the govenrment would better remedial the issue. if they are really keen having the people conversing in malay.

tldr:
Basically.. everyone or anyone is a malaysian either he/she be a criminial, unkind,uncaring,dishonorable,kind,nice,hardworking,etc.. but
the reason's you chose not to learn the language might refeclt on what kind of malaysian you are. the matter is nuanced. it's not as simple as being practising one's right or not.


I know you are being sarcastic. your comments are in the verge of favoritism. there are other troubles caused by the others races in malaysia. your comments work vice versa with the chinese and indians too. perhaps even other minorites in malaysia. you don't think the malays have issue with other ethnic's conduct?

What do you call a Malaysian who cannot speak Bahasa Melayu?
A Malaysian.

this reminds me of a tv show. Where an American ask an Hispanic guy to speak American. I'm like wtf. Not english meh. Seems like some American also gila maruah nak protek protek speaking English. Referring english as American. topkek

it's depend on the person, it could be gila maruah, it could also be about ideals a government have for it's country. the japanese enforce japanese the arabs enforce arabic. so on and so forth.
but truthfully.. macam ni lah.. you guys do what you want. don't learn the language, perhaps it is for the best.

Edited my post above and here. since there are errors in what I meant to express.

I mean if v do trace back who created English or Malay. I doubt Malay language was created by Malaysians, I doubt English was created by American. So I feel there's no need to feel so proud and refer to those that can't speak Malay is not considered as Malaysian.

Malay as in our BM most likely is developed from Bahasa Indon? Not sure on this. And also English I doubt is created by the Americans. Must have been thousand years ago, ppl move to America and stay there, after some time, English is accepted or something lik dat.

Being Malaysian is not only about able to speak Malay, altho that is 1 of the feature of being a Malaysian. Being Malaysian means much more, we got different variety of foods, experience diff cultures, etc.

Not sure if kuda, wiminz, murrican or all.

Tell that to China and their Putonghua.

Sigh, that ignorance~

I want to cry reading that post. Maybe that person is still very young...

Yawor... now East is flexing their electoral power

1.today, the region have been divided by definition of a country, long ago it was kingdoms.. but you have to understand.. put borders aside, malaysia and indonesia are close neighbours... at it's core, the malay are them, and vice - versa. their connections runs deep. the malays,indonesian,etc.. are the people of Nusantara. now the malay language is the language of malaysia, yes it its a very close derivative to the indonesian language(if it's even a derivative.. I dare not say for sure.. since the two countries are so close.. and I am for the most part ignorant), but the malays and indonesians are indeed close. culturally, ethnically and language.

2.it is as you say..but remember, it is an undeniable fact that the malay language is a part of the land's culture.

P.S, you are a malaysian whether you could speak malay or not.. of course! No one should say otherwise..

Yea. What I was implying in my previous post is that the root of Malay language, might not necessary be from Malaysia. The very first usage of the Malay language might be from some other kingdoms/region.

Did some google-ing.



Long long time ago, some other parts of Asia/Borneo do speak Malay too.

Kudos to Malaysia for establishing Malay as the national language. I have no problem with that. Just that someone could not comprehend what I wrote, or maybe my writing skill no gud.

yup.......not as united as you think

Cakap jelah BM ini pun jadi masalah ke sampai 24 page

the connections runs deep as you've pointed out. oh, and it was nice chatting with you.
