Our language and culture


Remember the Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa lyrics ? Those 50 and 60 years old might remember the Bulan Bahasa Kebangsaan held in sixties. For these DBP artists, "semangat cintakan bahasa" should be revive vigirously. The song was show-cased at the Forum Perdana Bahasa recently.


Some points from the public. Pehin Haji Ghani raised about the Jawi which was not mentioned by any of the member of the forum panel. To strengthen Bahasa Melayu, he said, Jawi writing should be learned and used in everyday life so Malay Language would not be side line by other languages. Jawi writing has a strong link with Islam, he said.



The new and the old soldiers of Bahasa. Sure there are gaps on how to propagate the Malay Language. The world is fast changing and of course those who are not moving fast enough will be left behind
