Bahasa Malaysia not be changed to Bahasa Melayu

KUALA LUMPUR: The national language will remain as Bahasa Malaysia and will not be changed to Bahasa Melayu, said Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin.

“The Cabinet decision is final. The Cabinet has already ordered that the term Bahasa Malaysia be used by all government departments, schools and in all official matters when it needs to be used,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby on Monday.

Zainuddin was responding to a remark by the Overseas Umno Club Alumni deputy chairman Datuk Rais Zainudin on Sunday that a resolution would be submitted to the party’s supreme council to revert the term back to Bahasa Melayu as it was still a Malay language.

The Alumni Club adopted the resolution during the Third Malay Agenda Seminar: Malays 2057 – 1st Series: Politics at PWTC on Sunday.

Zainuddin said from the psychological aspect, the use of the term Bahasa Malaysia was a more friendly and effective approach in the effort to unite Malaysians.

“Even Indonesia used the term Bahasa Indonesia although the Malay language is used,” he said.

What the hell? Why this issue must be play by politician? This issue must be play by academic himself. It must be seminar, debate and white paper for this issue. Malays will lost their identity soon or latter.
