The more you ktards debate this, the sillier Penyu's proposal sound. He is basically culturally appropriating B. Indon to be same as B. Melayu. That's where he get the 300 million figure from.

You propose this to ASEAN, what would Indonesia response be? Care to guess?

It is the same language although there were localization differences. Maybe if anyone prefers it can be referred to a general, non confrontational alt term such as 'bahasa'. But it doesnt take away the fact that it is still the same language family. Look at it this way. If you call a language Australian or American or Canadian just because you hated the Brits for eg. that actually just silly.

Also what cultural appropriation when most Malays and technical Malays like Zahid Hamidi for eg. memang can trace their root to Indonesia pun.

He wants to make Malay Language as the Lingua Franca in SEA again just like in the 14th century if I'm not mistaken. I remembered studying this in Sejarah.

Again u don't understand what race n what nation
BM is our national language for malay, Chinese n Indian, n the rest
Just like Hong Kong and China, both are Chinese, but they different nation.
N Korean n s Korean, both are same races, but nation is different

Similarly Indonesian and malaysia

Nation is not same with race
Bangsa tak sama dengan kaum

When u fail to understand the difference, even when it's not racial issue u call it racial issue.

Race  is simply about different culture n different race
But nation (bangsa) refers to collective group of people that same one common characteristic that shared all ttlogether.
Usually this common uniting factor is language

But it depends
Look at India n Pakistan. They all have share similar race n history, but they are distinguish because of religion
Similarly with n Korean n s Korean, similar race but they nation exist differently because of political system

I already share how language can be matter when comes to language. Give more reason for hired teacher, hired translator, hire software translation, increase market coverage

Anyway don't marah2lah... Just that I follow kttard culture of trolling

There's no best timing lah. Best timing when, u tell me. Until 1usd to 1myr?

most indon malay come here in 1800
then in 1970-80s
usually johor..selangor..n9 and melaka where this malay reside
they were no people in southern peninsular in 1500s except for orang asli

Um, hongkong is in China, administered by China, part of China. It is silly to say otherwise. I think you meant Taiwan

Sort of....u are right saying Taiwan n China as a good comparison

Even with Hong Kong, u see they are  not yet still absolved the idea into China fully. There is still political conflict n still struggling to adapt into 2 difference system

I have found referring to BM as just 'bahasa' quite retarded.
Languages usually named after the race/culture or country. Here we just say 'language', in a different language.

"Kenapa you tak boleh cakap bahasa?" translate to
"Why you can't speak language?"       

ikr. but it's an acceptable compromise lah imo.
