Mind the translation! Part 2

My last blog post attracted quite a bit of criticism from readers who felt I was not equipped to comment on Malay grammar and vocabulary. The sole objection that my readers have is my ethnicity. Many readers are of the view that only ethnic Malays speak the language perfectly and can tell what is wrong with a sentence written in Malay. That's as stupid as saying only the English can teach English and if Bernard Shaw is correct, the English are the last people you should turn to if you need help on the English language.
