Earlier this month the government has given the green light for Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) to advise or fine anyone who does not use the national language correctly on signboards.
WTF.... really la...what 's wrong with these people...they want to fine people for not using the national language properly.
Look at this quote: Rais also gave some examples of commonly used terms such as Touch ‘N’ Go and Boulevard that he would like to see changed to Bahasa Malaysia terms. “The word for ‘Boulevard’ should rightfully be ‘Lebuh Perdana’,” he said.
So imagine next time when your in Malaysia and you are using the public transportation in Malaysia instead of Touch 'N' Go you might see this Sentuh 'dan' Pergi. and how about the Malaysian Identity card which is known as Mykad it is a mixture of BM and Eng. Prolly they will change it into KadSaya...wah lau so long the name.... =.=
The next thing could be they will start suing people for not using Bahasa Malaysia properly. For instance, two friends are chatting together.
Person A : Hi! Apa Khabar?
Person B : Oh! I sangat Baik, you?
Person A : I sini baik juga. You masih kerja kat Company tu ka?
Person B :Ya, Tapi saya fikir mau tukar kerja, kerja kat situ si Best la.
Suddenly...two unknown people came and issued them a fine... when they read what is written in the fine. Didenda: Salah Guna Bahasa Malaysia semasa bercakap ( Being fined because of speaking improper Bahasa Malaysia)
hahahaha.... Hopefully they won't enact this oredinance or else I won't have nice videos like this
Do click and watch it... it is a funny video
So we must always use BM properly on our signboards next time...unless you wanna get fined he he he
