I refer to the letter Calling it Bahasa Malaysia is sacrilegious .
Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Malaysia, what difference does it make? The government is desperately trying to undo what they have done. Racial integration has reached such startlingly dangerous levels. Now they want to do something about it.
I believe it doesn't matter to the average Malaysian whether it is called Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia because the content of the language has not changed, only the name. Everything else is the same.
This so-called change in the name of the language has no impact whatsoever on us because I don't believe there was any debate when they changed it to Bahasa Melayu in the first place.
In fact, I didn't think much about it either. Now that the government has made it an issue, their action has only awakened the 'sleeping dragon'. It has given us yet another topic to talk about.
