Bahasa Malaysia best!

It is just 3 days ago that i finally realised that the Malay language is really just a mixture of few other languages. I have tried to converse in Malay during my MSN session and found out how difficult it was to express my thoughts. Sometimes i pause and wonder what would best replace an English word during my chat session.

The Malay language is a rojak language. That is not an insult, but a fact! Take for example a few words such as:

Portuguese:

1. almari
2. kerusi
3. tuala

Arabic:

1. sifar
2. halal

English:

1. generasi
2. kondensasi
3. animasi

Still not happy? Alright then, let's exercise some common usage of English in our daily lives.

English:-

A firewall is a protective system that lies, in essence, between your computer network and the Internet. When used correctly, a firewall prevents unauthorized use and access to your network. The job of a firewall is to carefully analyze data entering and exiting the network based on your configuration. It ignores information that comes from an unsecured, unknown or suspicious locations. A firewall plays an important role on any network as it provides a protective barrier against most forms of attack coming from the outside world.

Firewalls can be either hardware or software. The ideal firewall configuration will consist of both. In addition to limiting access to your computer and network, a firewall is also useful for allowing remote access to a private network through secure authentication certificates and logins.

While many people do not completely understand the importance and necessity of a firewall, or consider it to be a product for businesses only, if your network or computer has access to the outside world via the Internet then you need to have a firewall to protect your network, individual computer and data therein.

Malay:-

Dinding berapi ialah sejenis sistem perlindungan yang terletak di antara rangkaian komputer anda dengan rangkaian antarabangsa. Jikalau digunakan dengan betul, dinding berapi itu akan mengelakkan akses tanpa kebenaran pada rangkaian anda. Tujuan dinding berapi itu ialah untuk menganalisis data yang keluar dan masuk ke dalam rangkaian berdasarkan rupa bentuk anda (dapat dari kamus). Ia tidak mempedulikan sebarang informasi yang datang dari asal yang tidak diketahui atau tidak selamat. Dinding berapi memainkan peranan penting dalam setiap rangkaian kerana ia memberikan perlindungan dari apa-apa jenis ancaman yang datang dari dunia luar.

Dinding berapi boleh datang dari bentuk barang keras atau barang lembut. Rupa bentuk dinding berapi yang paling bagus boleh dicapai dengan kehadiran kedua-dua bentuk/jasad. Dinding berapi itu bukan sahaja mengehadkan akses kepada komputer dan rangkaian anda, tetapi ia juga amat berguna untuk membenarkan akses terasing ke rangkaian sendirian melalui sijil pengesahan selamat dan log masuk.

Sementara ramai orang tidak faham sepenuhnya akan kepentingan sebuah dinding berapi (apa penjodoh bilangan untuk dinding berapi? f*ck penjodoh bilangan!), ataupun menimbangnya supaya dijadikan produk urusniaga sahaja, kalau rangkaian atau komputer anda mempunyai akses ke dunia luar melalui rangkaian antarabangsa maka anda perlulah sebuah dinding berapi untuk melindungi rangkaian, komputer dan data anda.

There you have it, the proud language of our nation. Good job!
