Assalamualaikum..

(sape tak datang ari tu,,moh kite patah balik ari Khamis - 21/2/2013)  and on that day its my first time hear about MANGLISH language! hahaha..korang tahu tak apa Manglish ni?

MANGLISH is short for Malaysian English, though some might argue that it is Mangled English. but i prefer its ia a Malaysian English because at Singapore called as Singlish stand for Singaporean English. My lecture said that Manglish is a english language that have been mangled by Malaysian people. Korang bayangkan, macam telur + butter masukan dalam satu bekas, lepas tu gaul/kacau kasi sebati..hasilnya tu.. cam Manglish la..hahaha tak dapat bayangkan ek? *krik2

ackshun (oni) – derived from “action” – meaning “to show off.”
