Ini Malaysia-lah

So, another issue blossomed within days. Malaysians are really creative to churn out ideas from a remnant of a case, don't you all agree with me over there? So, here it goes with much Huu-haa from the Malaysian bureaucracy over the usage of Our so-called national language. I do fully comprehend that there's a substantial need to use the national language for official issues. But, what's wrong if someone admits that she is not as impeccable as in English in her Bahasa Melayu as well. Lame, in it?? That, pity, it was scattered on a National newspaper. So much for a young lass for not using "bahasa kebangsaan".

In my honest opinion, it is way important to use BM (or any language ) for that sake of matter in a proper manner. If someone decides to use language as a yardstick as measure of patriotism, heck, it reflects the shallowness potrayed by such individuals. It's always subjected to individuality.

I'll end this rather short post by a phrase from a famous Malay poet, A.Samad Said.

Bangunlah, sebelum, kemarahan meratapi sebenak jiwa anda.
