What IS all this fuss about having to use Malay for everything?

October 26th, 2006 by Nick Tay

I mean seriously! Its called Petronas Twin Towers right? I have never heard it refered to as Menara Kembar Petronas! Its called KLCC, which stands for Kuala Lumpur City Center right? Anybody heard it refered to as Pusat Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur or PBKL?? Or how about KLIA, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and not LTAKL - Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur. Do I have to go on? Are you not convinced that English is already part and parcel of Malaysian society? Are we gonna change everything in our country to Malay? No more CyberJaya!! No more LRT (Light Rail Transit)!! I hear now they want to fine people for using English words in Malay sentences. I mean Seriously?? We are going back to the dark ages in Malaysia aren’t we….I can just feel it….

On this day in History..

    remember Bahasa Baku? suddenly we had ooniversiti’s, no more university. but there were different standards for their precious umno.

    and now, today, they want to make a big deal on Malay for everything?

    once again, look at your own backyard.
    havent they realise that they’d have to rename their beloved United Malays National Organisation?
    officially, they are Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu
    PKMB doesn’t sound so best.

    tukar to
    Undur Mahathir Naik Oabdullah
    Untuk Mu Najib O

    feel free to tambah

    admin : Wah…No more UMNO!! :)
