Bahasa Melayu – ignorance?

Under the Sun 10 Comments

Sometime, whenever I read bahasa in anywhere I got pissed off. Why? I don’t know whether who the author is. I don’t care. I don’t fucking care. Yeah.

If and only if bahasa melayu is our national language, then why the heck that such simple “tatabahasa” aka grammar that they couldn’t comply with.

For example, I often read kata depan, di as following:-

dimana ada kemaluan, disitu jugak ada yang lari lintang pukang

disini.

I’ve checked through the Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka website and found the file with excerpt as follow

Kata Depan, di, ke, dan dari
Kata depan di, ke, dan dari ditulis terpisah daripada kata yang mengikutinya
kecuali dalam gabungan kata yang sudah lazim dianggap sebagai satu kata
seperti kepada dan daripada. (Lihat juga Bab III, Fasal D, Ayat 3).

Get it?

I personally think that most teachers are ignorance. Or lack of standardization in education. Plenty of maktab but where’s the standard. That’s why when last time, I used to ask that why when it comes to marking our language subject, Bahasa Melayu for example were sent to other states. In fact, I sometimes think that the composition or “karangan” itself has different result when marked by different teachers. There’s no marking scheme for composition as it’s based on the individual creativity and mastery of the language itself.

Furthermore, I do check my nephews and nieces homework. Especially when it comes to Bahasa Melayu. Not that I’m THAT good but I believe I have the solid foundation of Bahasa compared to the rest of family members. The only thing I noticed is that the subject Bahasa is taught in poor content. Moreover, the teachers doesn’t have the quality as those in Sekolah Kebangsaan. It’s pretty bad sight. In fact, I’m begin to worry how my nieces and nephews going to fit in well in secondary as the competition are getting tougher. As the book, “The World Is Flat” says, we are no longer compete locally but globally.

Now the question is, how we positioning the Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia? What say you?

Looks can be really deceiving

Just like buaya69 says, looks can be deceiving. I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I was totally taken aback during one of the yumcha or drink tea session with my previous colleagues.

My colleague (let’s call her LS) from previous work place rings me up and taunted that I haven’t find them for a drink quite sometime. Especially after that she returned to work in KL again after being peacefully reside in her hometown for a couple of months. Guess the pay and the lifestyles brings her back to KL. Anyway, we meet up along with some other colleagues (C and G) in Wangsa Maju and had dinner there. That’s when I saw the lovely peninsula girl again. The first time I saw her there was when I having dinner with my mom earlier this month.

Our conversation was kinda random and topic after topic were talk cock or bullshitting when one of them hit the chord. She (G) commented that she couldn’t believe that ladies nowadays smoke. Still conservative thinking I would say. Anyway, the other (C) commented that she saw who and who smoke when they went to clubbing after the company’s new year bash dinner. C added that nowadays these girls have the audacity to do those things that last time she doesn’t dare to do. Boy, I was enjoying the company of 3 ladies and 3 of them are really conservative, as they said they are.

However, G added that she knew one of the former colleague, MY who is very sporting and have the audacity to go the beyond. Curious, I asked further. G told me that there’s one time MY asked her whether she wanted to look at a cute guy. She was chatting with the cute guy on msn. MY proceed to show G the photo. G commented that girl like you (MY) will find him cute and good looking.

Then MY told G that they been playing around together. Playing around??!!! MY said that a bunch of them went out together and the drinking session was on. Several of them. Girls and boys. MY was one of them. After gotten toxicated with alcohol, they played a strip game that ended up all in their undies. G told me that these words came out from MY mouth. In fact, MY did kept the photos taken with all the boys and girls in their undies. Further than that, G didn’t told me. In fact, I think MY didn’t detail out the entire night what happened.

As the matter of fact, none of us were into believing that MY was really that kinky after all, she had the face of cute, innocent and decent girl. Somehow, the story died there and before we end the session, I discreetly asked G to provide me MY handphone number.

Hehehe…
