its a pity to see malaysians not proud of their own mother tongue...bahasa malaysia.

kalau nak post dalam BM...tak de masalah.[color=#CC0000]

It's sad to see that u couldn't even write a proper sentence in Bahasa Malaysia even though it's just a few words"Kalau nak memberi apa-apa komen dalam BM,silakan"

Virtually every Malaysian of the new generation can at least speak Bahasa well enough to get along.

It must be remembered that not all contributors to this site are Malaysian.

Give me a break. At least I am taking attempts to relearn it.

kalau tak pandai cakap bahasa malaysia, baik jangan jadi rakyat malaysia. hahaha tapi yang aku tengok malaysian yang tak pandai cakap malaysia lah yang banyak komplain pasal negara and tak pernah nak bersyukur apa yang dia ada di malaysia.

Hahahaha... tul tu... Dengan kata lain blah...blah....

That is because the conditions in Malaysia favour those whose mother tongue it is Bahasa Malaysia.

Why should those Malaysians be grateful when thier own govnt discriminates against them? The govnt favourable discriminates against those Malaysians whose mother tongue is Bahasa. Those Malaysians whose mother tongue is not Bahasa are not necessarily less patriotic then their Bahasa counterparts. Have a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seri_Pahlawan_Gagah_Perkasa. Malaysia's highest decoration, the vast majority of recipients come from a non Bahasa speaking background.

BTW isn't your Bahasa good enough that you can't help but use English words as well?

i think the lost asian dude was writing in informal malay. u try to write formal malay but fail coz u include the word "nak". u should use "hendak" or "mahu" or "ingin"....i think...

I cannot believe that you guys can talk and talk over the same issues over and over again

And getting "mental orgasm" in fighting over one another, dispersing ones comments, trying to vindicate your opinion, blaming others, and so forth is the best thing that you guys can talk about in this forum

To all forumers....GROW UP! Think and live outside the box will ya!

oh my god.for the last time it is bahasa melayu and not bahasa malaysia.itu nama lama.

betul.memang tak patut.setuju sangat dengan kelantaneese...apa nak jadi tak tahulah.banyak sangat rakyat kita lupa daratan..tak bersyukur...negara kita aman damai.tengok.mana ada perang besar.macam iraq,palestin,selatan thailand.kat indon banyak serangan berbahaya pengganas.


kita mana ada ni semua.natural disasters yang dasyat pun banjir je.itupun tak teruk macam negara lain..bersyukurlah kamu...

anyway,give them a break.ni forum bukan peperiksaan.janganlah nak komen kata bm orang yang jawab bm tu teruk...sebenarnya tak (kita tak boleh nak kata) teruk tapi diorang being casual and bercakap guna bm casual and tak rasmi punya...being casual like me.

Oh Bahasa Melayu dah ker skang ni... Bila tukar ....

Bagi pendapat i la... sepatutnya rakyat Malaysia la pandai cakap bahasa orang-orang Malaysia... Tapi kalau kita tengok situasi hari ini... kebanyakan orang Malaysia tak suka cakap bahasa Malaysia, semua nak cakap bahasa oreng putih.... Macamla orang putih tu bagi dia makan free Baik cakap cam mamak dapat makan free kat kedai mamak....
Tapi kita kat Malaysia masih lagi respect mother tounge seseorang tu. Tapi faham-fahamla yer.. Takkan tak belajar dulu masa sekolah cakap bahasa Malaysia... Bukan nak suruh mengigau dalam bahasa Malaysia tapi berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Malaysia.... Sebab tu la foreigner cakap orang Malaysia tak bersatu-padu, sebab masing-masing cakap bahasa masing-masing pastu nak harapkan orang lain faham masalah dia lak... Give and take la bro...

Aku tengokla kebanyakan orang Malaysia memang giler nak sedut budaya orang putih pastu kutuk orang yang tak suka budaya orang putih cakap kolot la apela.
Blah la...

*Aku cakap bahasa Jerman*

Aku setuju. Sememangnya warga Malaysia patut fasih cakap bahasa malaysia. Tapi masalahnya kalau dah lama tak bergaul dengan orang melayu (e.g. warga msia bukan melayu yang menuntut kat luar negara), macam manalah mereka nak cakap BM dengan lancar kan?
Kebolehan linguistik itu boleh dipupuk. Itu bukan masalah.
Yang paling sakit hati tu bila warga malaysia langsung tak minat pada bahasa tanahairnya.

Harap kita jangan kelirukan orang yang tak mampu nak cakap dengan orang yang langsung tak cinta bahasa malaysia.

p.s. how is my BM? masih boleh tahan?

I just know a junior from Pahang who does not know BM at all.He actually lived most of his life in UK and lived in Pahang for 4 years until he's education at down under,but he can't even string an 'ayat'.

wtf u talking about la?

Thanks for correcting me.Adakah "nak" itu informal?


No wonder our Bahasa Malaysia is deteriorating.Do u know that the more u practise this BM tak rasmi(no matter u use it on forum or to send sms),lama-kelamaan it will become a habit where u will use it unconsciously even in exams..Even though my Bahasa Malaysia isn't as great as other languages,I am still trying my best to write a proper sentence.

i believe so. we seldom or rarely even use it in Sabah. i think its a west malaysian slang for "hendak".

its ok if you are illiterate

Bahasa is not the only language spoken in Malaysia.

Although I believe that all Malaysians needs to speak Bahasa, it must be remembered that other languages are spoken at home. It must also be remembered that not so long ago the medium of instruction in Malaysia was English, therefor for those who were educated in English, most of them feel most comfortable speaking English. Its not about wanting to be "Orang Putih".

On the contrary, I dun see the importance in it though I speak pretty good malay

In SG, most singaporean cant speak malay...and it appears that its ok

Whatever it is, there must be a chosen language that all citizens of a particular country can communicate in. In Malaysia it happens to be Bahasa. In Singapore, English.

Saya rasa sedih membaca thread ni. Nama negara "Malaysia", tapi banyak yang tak reti berbahasa Melayu ke?
(heeheeheee, what do you think about my attempt to speak in Bahasa Melayu Malaysia, guys? )

Agreed.It pissed me off when ppl assumed that those that prefer English over Malay as White worshippers.
English is the international language and it can be used whenever u go while Bahasa Malaysia is most likely only limited to be used in Southeast Asian countries and Middle Eastern countries.

Dei makcik...where got BM used in middle eastern countries la

Dun get angry when people arrow you for this ...but try to think before you write your opinion lar

I said most likely.
Fine then where else is it used beside SEA countries?
And I am willing to learn from my mistakes.

nagasawa i thought you're african?

You thought wrong?

i think thats it. only in SEA countries.
wait..so nagasawa is malay?

I hope I don't offend anyone with this but Bahasa Malaysia is similar to only Bahasa Indonesia and it is only these 2 countries(plus a small number in Singapore) that speak these similar languages. As a national language on an international scale, BM is not important.

some peoples trying to argue that japan able to protect their language and be proud of it.
the problem is, don't try to TIRU and ARGUE when u are not even have 10% of their attitude.... what's the point of TIRU all these thing when you didn't try to improve yourself?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean here.

But you're right Japan has done a very good job protecting its culture. However it is my belief that some Japanese, in thier pride at their country do look down on other Asians.

no la, i am just trying to say those peoples who keep defending the important of having BM and took Japan as example.
to me, language just tool for communication... it doesn't matter which language we used as long we able to get the msg across to other party. no point to keep arguing abt something that is less important than keep improving ourself in other area like working attitude and so on....

Maldini...what the hell you talking about lar.....last nite never get izzit

a bit "drunk" today cos last nite slept at 3+.... helping my wife do her proj

project in bed???

No wonder

I think Rico needs to get some. He's always talking about sex in this chat.

Hey Rico, got gf or not?

I get it every week. Good for the engine

Never want to buy car anymore.....high maintenance....take taxi better.....this week comfort tomorrow yellow cab

^ dont forget if u want a quick one u can take the mrt...

DIY no shiok la makcik

Its good to see that you and you hand have such a close relationship

wow! u guys getting more and more chim.... rico dyed both his hand to diff color daily?

i dont think malaysian dont want to speak malay at all, only small portion of its people mainly in urban area ( u know to be sophistacated has to speak foreign laguange and to avoid being label as 'budak kampung')

the rest still speaks in bahasa as their mother tongue

but the problem was when someone try to speak english, unfortunately they just replaced the words from malay to english in the middle of the sentence, mostly done by malaysian celeb-so lame!
i.e. "if i berlakon with him dia know me and i know dia", something like that lah!

Sometimes when you try to replace the whole phrase of english into malay, it sound not quite right. so we put some english words in the middle. i did it all the time. especially when discussing a rather high technical matters. i've met a malaysian chinese who can't even speak malay or english in a proper manner.

this is what a non malay would say...

wrong.other than malaysia,indonesia(different language but quite same) and singapore...malay is spoken in brunei (the whole country),south thailand,parts of phillipines and there are a lot of malay communities in south africa and england.

Yet it is Malays that b!tch about BM losing its indentity as the national language nowadays Now I am damn curious to find out whether u passed your BM in PMR and SPM or not.


LOL Try to do business with Japan,US and China using BM.Plus English has become the preferred language for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in Malaysia and almost everywhere in the world.This clearly shows the importance in mastering this language.Moreover,most reference books are in English.

good one

I agree.They keep saying that if Korea and Japan can progress into two of the few most developed countries in Asia with Japanese and Korean as their main languages,why can't malaysia be like that as well?We still produced scientists,engineers,doctors with quality even though they studied in BM blah blah blah

nice try...but pople can know that you are non-malay or not from malaysia.




A and A1 lah.................
what you think all malay are stupid????


aiyo..of course english is more widely spoken and can be considered as the most important primary language ever.we use english where ever and and in what ever situations possible all around the globe.we use english with foreigners and in our studies..it doesn't mean that your own country's official language is unimportant and you should not mastered it well...
