gunakanlah bahasa kebangsaan kita

The use of good Bahasa, even when it comes naturally to background speakers of the language, can become an act of activism. 

Because it is just strange and odd to not speak like a racist caricature when interacting with different ethnicities, never mind that they sound exactly like you.

Malays in this country seem to still think that they hold sole ownership over anything vaguely Malay: language, dress, religion, land; that, whether they realise it or not, they put down, reduce to their basic prejudice of a race, anyone who they feel is getting too big for their shoes.

Amoi terer you cakap melayu

You kena faham, kami orang Melayu, orang Islam, minum air suam

A paranoia coupled with the delusion that we are the vanguards of Malay culture, 

whose purity we happily protect through neglect.

Meanwhile in Pulau Jawa, books, movies, music in Bahasa are being produced at a rate we dare not imagine.
