Actually in 1970...our malay language try to intergrate with the indonesia malay language but it did not work well as indonesia does not give too much emphasis to the move as msia is only 15% of indonesia population

still indonesia govt chose indonesian malay - which was based on the original jambi/malayu kingdom version of malay as promoted by srivijaya - to be official language of indonesia, rather than pure javanese, although javanese today form the majority people in indonesia

So, choosing javanese as official #1 language of indonesia would have inflamed tensions instead of enhancing pan-indonesian unity & solidarity

So they chose indonesian malay, which had a historical connection as the formal lingua franca of ancient srivijaya federation, but is seen as a more neutral language which has no association with any kind of supremacism in java-dominated modern day indonesia

The present illegitimate government is much worse than UMNO itself.

STU PI DITY seems to be their excellence.

When people are lamenting about bread and butter issue for survival, the otak LEM BU PM talks about JAWI script and it's revival.

Yeah! Jawi will spring up the economy!

The revival is to facilitate the "new Malays" who crossed over Straits of Malacca as illegals and are now citizens. They overwhelm the originals.

You don't go chasing anything at high when surging la, ahbah, you just play patient cautious, wait to grab something good & solid with real strong business (no speculative or political stuff) only at very low

then wait patiently for reasonable profit, then just grab profit & run, don't cling on for long

then repeat

now not really the right time for long holding, not yet

Any language will begin to feel easy when you go to the home of that language, live there & interact every day with the native speakers, is exposed through mass media like television every day to that language etc. etc. etc.

Malay is especially easy for Indic/Sanskritic/Pali origin language speakers, like Bangla, Nepali, Pakistani, Indian etc. to master, becos easily 75+ percent of current Malay lexicon (vocab) is ultimately of Indic origin

For example, simple every day Malay words like 'suka', 'muka', 'saya', 'sejahtera', 'bahasa', 'bulan', 'tuan' etc. etc. etc. are all actually of ultimately Indic (Sanskrit, Pali, even some Tamil) origin

Becos India was kind of like the USA of this region in ancient times, it was the dominant cultural-political power

There are no good leaders.

We are in a rabbit hole.

All we have are self-centered racist politicians.

The Malays have failed to lead and let the others live a decent life.

Dickyme! Not only the malay politicians but also the Lims! Once upon a time, local chinese were reverted by malays, indians and bumis! Since the Lims taken over local chinese, they really mess up big time! Thanks to the Lims, chinese schools are now championing jawi!

I agree that Jawi is threatened

I propose Govt should start a Jawi Tax of RM10,000 per person to build up a Jawi Foundation and hire 1,000,000 Jawi teachers.

Those who fail to pay the Jawi Tax should be sent to Jail
