Part of this problem stems from the lack of reading good books,the influence of bad language in the social media and the strong use of local dialects among students. Alas, also negative attitude towards reading.For example, knowing that most of my end-class students do not have good reading material at home, I bought them suitable magazines but to my horror and despair, I had to nag them to read. <br />I always believe that BM should be left pure. Why use 'informasi' when we can write 'maklumat', 'trafik' instead of 'lalulintas'? Pardon me, but adding English words when there is already a suitable word in BM just shows that the Malays are not confident in their own language?aliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218183427774411196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-52740314602359876962012-10-26T21:58:03.697+08:002012-10-26T21:58:03.697+08:00Cikgu Humairi,

We want to be English in outlook of our language. <br /><br />One newspaper today had this headline 'Jamin tiada manipulasi'. Melays do not know memutar belik, menipu, menkhianatetc.<br />P Ramlee chose not to coin the word 'sinima' for cinema. Instead he introduced 'pawagam' - panggung wayang gambar.. So manipulasi comes from 'mani pula sikit'!<br /><br />I am sorry to be seen rude, Tuan Temuk. It comes out of 'frastrasi' and 'engeri'.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-17741196420391387642012-10-23T14:41:03.602+08:002012-10-23T14:41:03.602+08:00I think most Malaysians today agree that we must b...I think most Malaysians today agree that we must be good at English, but we must not forget to master our national language. <br /><br />Many of us now, our leaders in particular, would say that our national language is Bahasa Malaysia. Frankly, Bahasa Malaysia sounds like a new language to me. We might want to ask ourselves, and Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka too, whether Bahasa Melayu is still around.Temukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967943666125362059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-24853440299467081582012-10-23T10:31:47.011+08:002012-10-23T10:31:47.011+08:00Pak Idrus,

Malays are rich in language; apecialised ways of addressing commoners, honoured individuals and royalties; adik and adinda, mak dan bonda and so on. The sense of respect or otherwise has to be nourished from childhood days; dimaalum, diberi tahu, dicerita etc, aku, saya, hamba, patik, kamu, tuan hamba, saudara, tyuan ku etc have their appropriate uses. It is not just u and i.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-29111154283279015122012-10-22T22:04:51.457+08:002012-10-22T22:04:51.457+08:00Our Education Policy has left the majority of the ...Our Education Policy has left the majority of the Malay with only one language the BM at their command.
