Dendan Setia (Nins)<p>Ha! This is interesting. What it's basically saying is that Malay lost the word for earthquake (which is still extant in other Austronesian language cousins eg Indonesian languages for example, like Javanese) that we had to re-import it from Sanskrit because we have so few of it 😅</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/tootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/malaysia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malaysia</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/indonesia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indonesia</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/singapore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>singapore</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/nusantara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nusantara</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/geography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geography</span></a></p>
Dendan Setia (Nins)<p>This year's Eid in Malaysia is so fascinating pop culturally - so for the respective language markets, Malaysian songwriters have been quietly (??) dominating the respective markets when it comes to festival songs (eg China gets our CNY music; Indonesia gets our Raya music; even southern India I think gets our Deepavali music but more commonly our people pen songs for their movies too) but it's always been quite separated for natural reasons. This year though I'm seeing more confluence. This isn't even the first Chinese Malaysian Raya song for 2025 that got on my feed lol. I think we're all collectively warming up to the upcoming Kongsi Raya (CNY and Eid will fall on the same set of days lmaoooo and naturally that's a pun on Gong Xi - as kongsi raya literally means "shared festival/holiday") from 2029 to 2031. We're going to be so stressed and useless 😂 </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_NNtOCeI64" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=p_NNtOCeI6</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/tootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/playlistSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playlistSEA</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Raya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Raya</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Eid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eid</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Malaysia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malaysia</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Islam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Islam</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/CNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CNY</span></a></p>
Aulia Masna<p>Mass protests across 14 Indonesian cities rejecting the newly passed military legislation allowing active members to hold civilian government and private sector positions. Mass violence by cops and the military against protesters, illegal seizure of ambulance by the police, members of parliament clashing with protesters, and Jakarta is about to unleash its latest wave of protests tomorrow outside of the parliament building.</p><p>This is building up to match the 1998 anti government civil disobedience crisis. Hopefully it won’t devolve into mass riots, waves of racial violence, and private property looting and destruction like it did back then. </p><p>The state of the economy isn’t great either despite statements from the President and Ministers. Since the President slashed the national budget to fund the free school meal program and the sovereign fund Danantara (more than $20 billion each), government projects and programs have been cut, contractors are struggling, and consumer spending collapsed. </p><p>We also have had mass layoffs in the tens of thousands across various industries including manufacturing, since January. Those jobs aren’t coming back.</p><p>This country is not doing okay.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Indonesia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indonesia</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/IndonesiaGelap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndonesiaGelap</span></a></p>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>Apparently, today is a "memorable" day in history lol. On March 2020 the "movement control order" a politically correct term for lockdown, was declared in Malaysia.</p><p>I call it the PDF days, because Twitter was heavily used to toss PDFs around about the ever-changing "MCO" rules (and politicians' bowel movements, no I'm not kidding). There was chaos because there wasn't any proper communication in the government. That day I realised how broken Malaysia's communication channels were, and how reliant we were with social media channels owned and controlled by companies in far-off lands.</p><p> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid19</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Malaysia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malaysia</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a></p>
Adrianna Tan<p>I’ve been thinking lately about how I grew up very strictly Anglophone in an Asian society, when my parents barely spoke English (not the same way my brother and I do). Like when we speak, we sound like we are speaking different languages (even in English). Depending on where I am, I can sound like the local native English speaker.</p><p>Many of my compatriots do not sound like me. There’s Singlish, which is a type of creole combining English, Hokkien, Mandarin, Malay and some Tamil. But that’s not quite it either: there is a ‘basolectal English’, the one that is grammatically ‘correct’ but unmistakeably places the English speaker in the location they come from (Singaporean, Aussie, Kiwi basolectal are very obvious). </p><p>It is usually a function of class and society and privilege that a person in a colonial society speaks English a certain way. In my parents’ time, our English teachers and newscasters spoke with a ‘stiff upper lip’. Maybe that was class, then. When I was a teenager, upper middle class people spoke like the BBC newscasters. But not stiff upper lip. Today, we sound.. American or some form of British. </p><p>And I don’t know how I started to speak like that. I went to an elite school, but my family barely spoke English. My language at home was not even Mandarin, the language of the upper class Sinophones, it was Teochew and Hokkien; the language of the pasar (the wet market). In formal situations in Singapore, I can code switch into basolectal English, kind of less American sounding formal English, so more older professional people understand me. In the cab, I can curse in Singlish at taxi drivers who ask me if I’m American. </p><p>In this video; I sound ‘generic American’, maybe Californian: <a href="https://youtu.be/I6m82wB2qhY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/I6m82wB2qhY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>When I speak with people from ‘back home’ I sound completely different. </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Languages</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TootSea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSea</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Singapore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Singapore</span></a></p>

Adrianna Tan<p>Singapore academic Donald Low writes about the thing I've been worried about: Singapore's 'born again Chinese', or ethnic Chinese people in the diaspora who have been targeted by CCP propaganda in social media and chat groups</p><p>I was starting to see people say things like 'oh, I will only use the Chinese vaccine, it was created for Chinese people' and I just could not believe what I was hearing. Not isolated cases too: lots and lots of people. Especially Boomers.</p><p>A lot of this is just step one towards challenges to national sovereignty, and worsens racial issues in the country by emphasizing more 'Chineseness' (already the majority group there with oppressive features)</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Singapore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Singapore</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TootSea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSea</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>China</span></a></p>
