Declaring September As 'Bahasa Malaysia Month' Is Undisguised And Shameless Umno Sandiwara

From The Malay Mail: Throughout next month, all quarters, especially ministers and community leaders, should give priority to Bahasa Malaysia usage.

Deputy Education Minister Datuk Noh Omar said their interaction and correspondence should be in the national language during the National Language and Literature Month 2007 from Sept 1 to 30.

“The success of this programme requires the involvement of all levels of society and not just school students, but the national leaders and public and private sector as well,” he said.

Themed Language the Soul of the Nation, the national-level programme will be launched by Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh at the Terengganu Trade Centre in Kuala Terengganu on Sept 8. An exposition with 80 booths featuring language, literature and other publications will be held from Sept 4 to 9.

The BBSN, held for the eighth time, is to boost usage and proficiency and highlight the beauty of the national language, as well as instil love for literature among the people. It is also aimed at strengthening unity and encouraging the publication of language and literary works as part of building a national identity.

In conjunction with the language month, Noh also asked the local authorities to be more sensitive and ensure the correct use of Bahasa Malaysia on signboards. “This will help educate the public in using the language correctly because the DBP itself has had no power to enforce this as the related Act has yet to be amended,” he added.

***** What nonsense! The above measures that our self-appointed guardians of bangsa, agama dan negara 'plan' to take, have been in place and very much active for at least the past forty years! If they are bringing up the subject now it is merely to promote themselves as the ones who genuinely 'pelihara' our national language. The things these buggers will do to fish for votes! What is the point in claiming to be the protectors of race, language and religion of the Malays when the country is being systematically looted by these very guardians? Do these crooks believe their own bullshit? I wonder.

"Bulan Bahasa" had become very controversial in concept as it implies that Bahasa Malaysia can be thrown to the wind for the rest of the year. But, it's a practical theme for a campaign. The problem is many leaders fail to recognize the difference between just a campaign ( let's do it then forget it!) and a plan of action with set goals and targets. That's where we can differentiate between "leaders" and "loaders". We now have the "low-loaders" which can carry away almost anything!

But le't not cut our nose to spite the face, redicule Bahasa Malaysia because of the ....whatever you want to call them! English is a worldwide language
although Chinese (many dialects of course) is spoken by a greater number of people in the world, according to one source. However, speaking English would not make you an Englishman and a non-Chinese sspeaking Chinese would not make him (or her) a Chinese. Only when you speak Bahasa makes you a Malaysian...

Think about that!
