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?
