WAhaHa.LamE

just a bit of humour

Why Mahathir insists on using English for math
and science.
Because globally people use the language as
information and/or
technology language at this moment. How
dangerous it is if we were to use these words in
Bahasa, especially in schools. See example below.

> hardware = barangkeras
> software = baranglembut
> joystick = batang gembira
> plug and play = cucuk dan main
> port = lubang
> server = pelayan
> client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH :
"That server gives a plug and play service to the
clients using
either hardware or software joystick. The joystick
goes into the port of the client."

BAHASA :
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk
dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira
jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu
dimasukkan
ke dalam lubang pelanggan."

aaah...innocent minds indeed.... XD
