Alhamdulillah! Thats right! We Bruneians must start to realize that we are unique as a sole nationality, that Bahasa Barunai, Belait, Tutong, Kedayan is unique to us alone. Nobody else in the world speaks these languages, and if we manage to let these languages become extinct by lacking their use, thats it, and lagipun it is our generation punya fault by letting ancient, unique languages vanish. Kanapa kitani banar2 malukan Bahasa sendiri kan?? Its a total disgrace. And I totally agree with obssess, Indonesia has Bahasa Indonesia as their offical language and in their education system, why can't we have our own Bahasa Brunai as official language, or Lingua Franca in education? I dont see any harm in writing essays in Bahasa Brunai, or maybe even Bahasa Belait or Tutong! we need to start looking back and realise about these languages before they do vanish. - Faiq Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:41:14 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/2009112211027/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/appreciating-national-identity-in-our-own-backyard.html#comment-8236 If we live long enough, we get to learn that proverbs contradict themselves all the time. Do step back and think, don't Bahasa Tutong and Bahasa Belait stand a better chance of losing their grip among our locals? Just because we want something badly, there is no need to crash ourselves to the pillars like blind lalats. One's personal needs may not be always be suitable for everyone. - bangsa Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:23:49 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/2009112211027/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/appreciating-national-identity-in-our-own-backyard.html#comment-8233 bahasa menunjukkan bangsa... - hadimi Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:29:10 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/2009112211027/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/appreciating-national-identity-in-our-own-backyard.html#comment-8217 I am appalled to see the obsession of identity among our locals. Are they feeling lost therefore in constant need to attached themselves with this and that identity? Just because you were overwhelmed with your personal encounter, you need to preach to the whole nation on the adoption of national identity? Please go wear your songkok or tutong, and realise that your identity as a muslim is divine. ps: MoE can consider introduce Bahasa Brunei instead of Bahasa Melayu (Malaysia) in the school syllabus. Frankly speaking, I have no problem with that as long as you don't feel silly doing it. - obssess Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:48:23 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/2009112211027/HYS-Topic-Of-the-Day/appreciating-national-identity-in-our-own-backyard.html#comment-8202 I agree wholeheartedly. English maybe the international language but it is important to know our own mother tongue since it is our identity. - Chinsy Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:43:33 +0100
