Apa khabar semua? Ish, menyampah cakap dalam bahasa baku...

Bahasa baku, the bane of all kids studying Malay in Singapore... Are Malaysians also required to gunakan bahasa baku as well?

Yep, but they don't speak using bahasa baku. who does anyhow?

[Fa|ique]

Singaporeans during the Malay news, and during oral examinations, obviously... I was once interviewed on the radio, and had to constantly make sure my pronunciation was according to baku standards... What a pain in the behind...

Sorry but what's the difference between bahasa baku and bahasa Melayu that we learn in school? Any example?

usually we pronounce 'saya' as "sah-yer", but in bahasa baku we have to go "SAH YAH". so it's ANNOYING. all you ever hear in bahasa baku pronunciation is AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH. y'know? :P

strawberry above has an example.

Bahasa baku is just an anal restriction on the pronounciation of Malay words.

[Fa|ique]

Very true... Annoyed me to no end...

O I C. Ya i remember that! I have to speak in bahasa baku when i have my oral test. Memang susah kerana aku sudah biasa dengan cakapan biasa.

yea that. well the bottom line is, bahasa baku is deffo tremendously stupid. they just want us to preserve the old Malay language.
BUT WE NEED CHANGE! AND CHANGE IS GOOD!
