Today on Astro in these past few days I found something funny. Fox TV now has their shows in Bahasa Malaysia. First question: What is wrong with English? I thought the government wants the country to speak better English. Although in marketing terms, this is called Adaptation. But this is a little too much.
I am now imagining Booth and Dr Brennan of Bones (TV Series) speaking to each other in Bahasa. This is going to be damn weird. I am seriously thinking, English should be used for these shows so people can learn better English in conversation. There is Bahasa subtitle already available. To be honest, this is the way most of us learn Cantonese when we were watching Hong Kong Drama; we were using the subtitle to understand Cantonese and we then pick it up and start speaking.
If you start spoon feeding everyone, no one will learn. Talking about Malaysia here. People are getting spoon fed for far too long.

I took this from Facebook. It is sorta a rip off off Malaysians. Let me translate it for ya. This ad is from Saudi Arabia.
1 Saudi Riyal = RM 0.94
Maknanya harga Persona kat Saudi = RM 33,934
Maknanya harga Proton Gen2 kat Saudi = RM 32,256
Maknanya harga Waja kat Saudi = RM 35,673
Why are Malaysian's being charged extra for a local car?
Look at how our Ministers explain why we are charged so much. You Would Laugh!
