Crap can someone changed my vote from first choice to 2nd? Accidentally clicked on it. Unless you are considering that i am qualified after reading below:
1) Saya boleh faham (kalau tak penuh, hampir penuh la) apa yang di tulis dengan Bahasa Indonesia di sini.
2) Malangnya, saya ini bukan orang Indonesia tetapi orang Brunei (Yang negera kecil di Pulau Borneo itu) dan mempunyai ramai kawan yang berbangsa Indonesia
3) Saya menulis dengan bahasa Melayu Standard kerana saya tidak biasa dengan menulis di bahasa Indonesia.
NOTE: I probably isnt qualified anyway.
Unfortunately nowadays i been using english nearly everyday that my malay is degrading into a primary school malay. OMG.
Don't worry about it. Don't feel wrong or embarrassed.
If you trace the history about both our countries, we still land in the Melayu Tribe. We just got separated on the way.
Ancient Melayu (without cross marriage) :
-> Indonesian
-> Brunei
-> Malaysian
It's glad we have a tribe brother in the South East.
BTW, Malaysia can also be included to the tribe, their country is still one island with us.
EDIT: Do you know that some of our Javanese brothers was sent to Suriname (Africa) for slaves, When the Dutch colonize Indonesia, and some of them are still speaking Melayu/Indonesia and Javanese language.
