Ya, it's quite weird.
They should have at least put something in English if they don't like Bahasa Malaysia so much.
This is as if the Pakatan candidate doesn't want the votes of those who can't read Chinese and Indian writings.
Don't know lah.
Maybe it's just an oversight. A lot of those by Pakatan in this Malaysia Baru.
Whatever it is, I think Pakatan shouldn't keep on doing these sort of oversights as it gives negative impression on the people.
I know lah Pakatan now is very strong and can't seems to do any wrong for some people, but that shouldn't make them too arrogant.
After all, Bahasa Malaysia is still the national language.
unlike that RPK loser who whined & bitched on all his articles, this article written by annie so eloquent kipidap!!!

Professor Nasi Lemak
Melayu sendiri yang salah... termasuk Dr.M semasa menjadi Menteri Pelajaran (1974~78), menghapus Sek. Aliran Inggeris, demi mertabatkan Bahasa Malaysia, tetapi tidak memastikan ia dekat dihati dengan semua Bangsa yang terdapat di Malaysia.
DeleteDewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka pula, mengambil pendekatan tidak betul, cenderong menguna-pakai istilah Inggeris & Arab, apabila muncul istilah-baru yang tiada dalam tata-bahasa Melayu.
Mengapa perlu guna-pakai sesuatu perkataan Arab yang beribu-batu jauhnya dari Negara ini?
Bertambah buruk lagi, apabila Anwar Ibrahim dibawah masuk UMNO, kemudian dilantik Menteri Pelajaran (1986~91) dan meng'Arab'kan Sekolah & Pentabiran Awam.
Selain itu, diciptanya pula, sebutan bahasa-baku yang dipopularkan oleh TV3... mungkin untuk membetulkan atau menyamakan antara ejaan dengan sebutan.
Tak ka pelik? Kita sudah ada istilah 'babi', ditukar pula dengan perkataan Arab 'khinzir' supaya bunyi lebih sedap dan sopan. Pada masa yang sama, orang-Melayu sendiri tidak lagi rasa jijik apabila disebut 'kinzir' ketika sedang makan? (Ada yang rasa loya, nak termuntah, jika disebut 'babi', ketika makan).
Tidakkah lebih bijak, demi 'mendekatkan' BM kepada Kaum Iban... misalnya, kita gantikan perkataan babi dalam bahasa-Iban?
Penggunaan istilah Arab inilah yang menjarakkan lain-lain Bangsa-setempat, termasuk Cina & India, kepada Bahasa-Melayu. Mereka merasa terpinggir, terpisah atau 'distant' dari Bahasa Kebangsaan.
Jika Bangsa-Arab adalah satu Kuasa Besar Dunia, kehidupan Rakyatnya aman, makmur & maju seperti Amerika, Jepun, Jerman atau Russia... Bahasa mereka juga adalah bahasa nombor SATU-dunia... mungkin Bangsa-lain akan turut ras bangga dengan Bahasa Arab.
Peredaran bahasa-Melayu, seperti juga bahasa-bahasa lain, berevolusi mengikut demography, integrasi antara suku-suku kaum setempat dan bahasa-bahasa yang diguna sesama mereka. Jika kita benar-benar mahu mempertahan atau mengekalkan Bahasa Melayu, ia sepatutnya kekal seperti yang ada pada zaman Hikayat Hang Tuah.
Seperti yang Tun Dr.M pernah katakan... sesuatu bahasa itu akan berkembang dan popular, jika bangsa itu sendiri maju, berjaya, berintegrity, bermaruah dan dipandang tinggi oleh bangsa lain.
Hakikatnya... Rakyat, terutamanya dari kaum minority, tanpa mengira Bangsa & Agama, akan lebih merasa dekat dan berbangga menggunakannya Bahasa Melayu, jika terdapat tata-kata atau sebutan dari bahasa kaum mereka, diguna-pakai dalam Bahasa Kebangsaan, iaitu Bahasa Melayu.
'Kowtim' misalnya, amat sesuai digunakan dalam tatabahasa-Melayu, jika tiada perkataan lain dalam bahasa Iban, Dayak atau orang-asal lain yang sesuai. Sudah tentu Kaum-Cina akan terasa lebih 'dekat' dengan Bahasa Kebangsaan.
Oleh yang demikian, untuk menobatkan Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan yang dibanggakan oleh segenap lapisan Rakyat, kita mesti hentikan penggunaan Bahasa Arab yang terlalu asing pada bukan-Melayu, terutamanya orang-asal di Semenanjong, Sabah & Sarawak.
Tak palah lepaih ni kita toksah guna perkataan khinzir untuk babi, Kita guna pakai perkataan dapigs untuk babi, boleh? Baru nampak sikit kontemporary...betoi dak?
Deleteso your contemporay culture is babi membabi OMG
DeleteEhmm... its people like Anon 17:41 who made the Malays looks dumb and nonsensical. No wonder that DUMNO-thing came about.
DeleteLogically, there is no way anybody can undo history. It was also the fault of Malay leaders in UMNO, led by the Tunku Abdul Rahman, who had no balls to abolish Vernacular schools, like what Lee Kuan Yew did in Singapore.
Therefore, vernacular schools are here to stay in Malaysia as long as there're demands by parents. The only way to reduce that demand, is to reintroduce English-Primary Schools and later-on, Secondary.
Furthermore, Mandarin is one of the major language of the world. Beside English, it would be a huge advantage for the Malays if they could master Mandarin too.
Of-course, for the sake of unity, Malaysians must be well-versed and recognize Malay as the National Language. There's no two way about it.
The idea, as I wrote above in Malay, was to make non-Malays 'closer' or to have some sense of belonging with the Malay language. Adopting Arabic words will further alienate them, especially the Orang Asli and Bumiputras of Sabah & Sarawak.
Annie,
ReplyDeleteDuring UMNO's 60 odd years taking charge of the Malaysian Government, what have they done to promote the use of Bahasa?
Did they ensure that those lawyers in the Malaysian Courts spoke Bahasa Malaysia?
Did they ensure that the BN Ministers, particularly those non-Malay ones, could speak proper Bahasa Malaysia, such as Kong Cho Ha?
Did they ensure that Bahasa Malaysia be used in every official business?
Did they ensure that those non-Malays who spoke fluent Bahasa be given better opportunity when granting government projects / jobs?
No. They did not.
What you see in Malaysia today is the end result of UMNO's 60 odd years of ruling and policies. Penjual agama, pengkhianat bangsa, pembelot negara, that's UMNO.
So, to Professor Nasi Lemak, go ask UMNO, for they have the answer when 'anak2 mereka tertanya2 "daddy daddy, mummy.. we are now in India or isit China?"'
or is it because former BN was too soft on the Chinese unlike the Thais n the Indonesians.The Thais and the Indoneians forced the Chinese to adopt Indonesian/ Thai name and no vernacular schools were allowed
Deletecan we allow msian chinese PM mcm thai chinese PM (eg thaksin & yingluck)...

ReplyDeleteHang meroyan pasal umno ni kenapa? Seburuk buruk umno jadi kerajaan tak pernah pulak aku tengok nampak jalan dalam tulisan cina. Seburuk buruk umno tak pernah pulak aku dengar menteri islam merujuk ayat bible masa berucap walhal dalam quran banyak. Se parah parah umno tidak ada rasanye kepala orang melayu kene pijak macam sekarang ni. Kau buta ke atau saja saja buat tak nampak sebab dah salah pangkah? Fikirkan

ReplyDeleteNice try.
The monkeys forget to see the other side of the coin.
ReplyDeleteInstead of taking note that 35% are not monkeys, they insist on amplifing their numbers.
You can fooking hug 153 in your sleep but that ain't gonna make us bend our knees. You feel me? PKHKC!
I do not read Tamil.
ReplyDeleteAny Pariah word in there somewhere?
Me neither ...but I think the poster was saying something like...Vote for this pariah in this picture, Do not waste your future....
DeleteThat's what I got after looking at Baidu Translate...
These kind of insults will surely turn more neutral and Malay-friendly Indians into staunch Malay-Muslim haters.
DeleteSorry u were saying what?...even the Chinese in CH is getting fed up with AhBeng and Kayu Reput...and this Indian fella from ampang hit the hattrick...good for him
DeleteI think the PBT should remove the poster of PH candidate as well as the poster of BN candidate with the kleptocrat.
