<p>goodness. you can't spell sejuk. and you call yourself Malaysian?? aiseh...:)</p>
<p>I'm an exiled/deported Malaysian. Never took a formal Malay class in my life except for two "terms" in Form 1 where nobody did anything including me. (Got a D for that class)</p>
<p>Culturally, I'm not Malaysian, I supposed. Not linguistically...</p>
<p>I love being a mish-mash, though!</p>

<p>hey...with Izzy back nothing's impossible!</p>
<p><em>laughing</em>* Thanks, Lakshmi. Izzy...the thread-filler...too bad I can't sew at all!! (Yes, lame pun..)</p>
<p>Banedon, Tasslehoff, correct if I'm wrong with tgis explanation considering I'm not THAT Malaysian n tend to misconstrue things.</p>
<p>Malaysia has three main races - Indians, Chinese and Malays. "Bumiputra/Bumiputera" is the Malay word for like..."Malay" Literally it means "People of the Earth". So I'm Malay Malaysian whereas I think banedon is Chinese Malaysian and possibly Tasslehoff, too.</p>
<p>the thread-filler.... no offense but it sounds rather creepy to me :p.(don't know why, though, well maybe because of the prononciation). I'm also curios about my sat scores cause last night I dreamed of having 640 for math2, 500 and something for French and 410 for Physics!!!! omg!!! it was such an awful dream!!!! as in...I don't expect 3*800 but I do expect good results!!!</p>

in layman's term, you are correct. except that putra=prince and not people. bumiputra is another way of describing the "original settlers of Malaysia" which is different from "indigenous people".</p>
<p>let's close page 13 with this meaningless post</p>
