Comic Relief, Anyone?

This came through my mail the other day. Thought it was extremely funny and so, I decided to share it with you people! However, you'll need to know a fair amount of Malay to understand it. Well, sorry then to any of my Singaporean readers. Haha! (if I even have any, that is.)

"Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?


This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below:-


Hardware = barangkeras
Software = baranglembut
Joystick = batang gembira
Plug and Play = cucuk dan main
Port = lubang
Server = pelayan
Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

Now you know.... WHY..."

Haha!
Sorry for not blogging much these days. Time is crucial and the As are less than a month away!
Jiayouuuu!
