YES NO ALRIGHT....

This was sent to me via email. But I took the liberty to somehow "rearrange" it just to drive home a point.

So here goes;

Siti wanted to break off with her MAT SALLEH boy friend but cant bring herself to meet the guy face to face.

So she wrote him a letter , in Bahasa at first , translated afterwards. The translated version was sent to her MAT SALLEH boy friend.

The letter goes like this.

Hai, tujuan aku menulis surat ini ialah untuk memberitahu kau sesuatu.
HAI MY MOTIVE WRITE THIS LETTER IS TO GIVE KNOW YOU SOMETHING.

Aku mahu putuskan hubungan kita.Aku sudah fikirkan masak masak
I WANT TO CUT CONNECTION US. I HAVE THINK ABOUT THIS VERY COOK COOK.

Aku tahu aku hanya bertepuk sebelah tangan.Benar aku ada nampak kau dengan si dia berdua di pekan dengan mata ku sendiri.
I KNOW I CLAP ONE HAND ONLY. .CORRECTLY I HAVE SEEN YOU AND SHE TOGETHER AT TOWN WITH EYES MYSELF.

Kau selalu meminta maaf kembali. Aku tidak percaya kau lagi.Kau benar benar buaya darat.
YOU ALWAYS ASK FOR APOLOGY BACK BACK .I DON'T TRUST YOU AGAIN.YOU ARE REALLY CROCODILE LAND.

Kawan ku kata kau main kayu tiga.Sekarang aku tahu kau benar benar main kau tiga..
MY FRIEND SPEAK YOU PLAY WOOD THREE. NOW I KNOW YOU CORRECT CORRECT PLAY WOOD THREE.

Oleh itu aku putuskan hubungan dan tarik diri daripada cinta tiga segi ini.
SO I BREAK CONNECTION TO PULL MY BODY FROM THIS LOVE TRIANGLE.

Aku tahu keputusan yang ku pilih ini betul kerana kau mencintainya lebih daripada ku.
I KNOW THIS RESULT I PICK IS VERY CORRECT BECAUSE YOU LOVE SHE VERY HIGH FROM ME.

Oleh itu aku putuskan untuk pergi jauh dari sini.
SO I BREAK OFF TO GO FAR FROM HERE.

Aku tidak mau mahu kau bermain dengan hati ku.
I DONT WANT YOU TO PLAY WITH MY LIVER.

Aku menangis sehingga tidak ada lagi air mata mengenangkan kau .
I HAVE BEEN CRYING UNTIL NO MORE EYE WATER THINKING OF YOU.

Aku tidak mau pisang berbuah dua kali.
I DONT WANT BANANA TO FRUIT TWO TIMES.

Selamat jalan.
SAFE WALK.

Far fetched ? Perhaps. But morale of the story …. the standard of English among our young, especially the Malays. The important question is -- whose fault is it ? And more importantly - what should be done ?
