mind your language..

bahasa malaysia..an issue that people nowadays politicized.if u ask me,i would say,language is just language.its just a medium to communicate.no big deal.orang kata,pelihara bahasa malaysia..jgn rojakkan etc etc.thats true..but for me,in order to preserve bahasa malaysia is simply by learning that language..be able to speak well in Malay..so that takdela one day if people ask you the meaning of something in Malay,u fail to answer. tu mmg teruk gila la tu.you practise it or not in daily basis is totally up to the individual.bahasa rojak tu in my opinion takdela masalah sgt sbnrnye.i remember when i was in Kem KO-PLN(its a one-week motivational camp which those going abroad to study have to attend),the facilitator commented on my language. Bahasa rojak.Yea i did use a cocktail of English and Malay in one presentation,but i have a reason for doing that.I have a bit of problem using Bahasa Malaysia baku in presentation..bukan sengaja,bkn buat2..but it is just it.So i ended using bahasa rojak. But it was only a casual presentation, not Bahasa Malaysia presentation..so apa masalah nya..kalau presentation sastera BM guna english mmg nak kne la ngn Mak Temah aka Kak Tim(i miss pn fatimah,my BM teacher in SAMURA).

Berbalik pada topik bahasa rojak tadi,we cannot stop people from using bahasa rojak.its just how Malaysians communicate.bila cakap bahasa baku karang orang kata buang tebiat.as long as people undestand what we are trying to convey, it should never be an issue. buka Bahasa melayu je yg rojak..Japanese ke, Cantonese ke, rojak jgk...tak caye cube dgr themesong kartun2 jepun kat tv tu..dlm satu ayat tu mula2 japanese..last2 ada la pulak terselit english..cakap bahasa rojak tu lagi okay drpd cakap bahasa melayu, tp penuh ayat mencarut2,curse2.lagi teruk.

Bahasa SMS pun blh jadi isu.Dah kata nak SMS je,tulis pendek2 sudahla..takpayah la tulis panjang2 just for the sake of preservering BM(haha macam mak aku dlu,,skrg dah tak=P)

one more thing, isu lagu rojak..a song is one's way of expressing feelings.dah time tu dia rasa dia nak campur2 bahasa sukati dia la..tanak dgr sudah..dia bkn letak lagu dia tu dalam kategori lagu bahasa melayu pun..what language people want to utilize in a song ke, poem ke..its totally their rights.(dlu aku teringat radhi OAG mengamuk sbb dia kne condemn lagu dia rojakkan bahasa melayu..nah who cares.asalkan sedap)

PPSMI, the latest issue.i dont quite agree with the idea of teaching maths and science back in BM. I dont think the arguments supporting it were reasonable enough... I think children should be taught science and maths in english as early possible..so that later in their education life, there's no major problem faced by them..if they are to be taught in Malay, later mase nak masuk uni, the transition phase would be a little harder, and coping process will be a bit more tedious.tp biarla,dah tu keputusan kerajaan..but on the other hand,ok la sbb takde la student2 kat kampung or yg lemah in english tercicir,and worse, demotivated nak belajar.tapi tu la, that is just a short-term benefit.

btw,ckp pasal PPSMI, haritu masa Arwah Yasmin Ahmad meninggal dunia, i just knew that angin ahmar tu stroke!i thot asthma!tu pun my mama yang ckp(my Malay needs polishing as well!) so cancel PPSMI ni ade la jgk kebaikannya..so that nanti ble dah kat hospital nanti, takdela salah faham=P
