From Bahasa Kebangsaan to Bahasa Malaysia to Bahasa Melayu, and now back to Bahasa Malaysia. Such a "groundbreaking" return to a more inclusive term for our national language, following logic, should have been trumpeted around town. But the odd thing is that it only appeared in 2 newspapers - The Star (English) and Sin Chew daily (Mandarin). Why no news about this at all in the Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Kebangsaan newspapers? Is it another blatant case of saying nice-to-hear things to targeted racial groups (as well as language groups) in order to earn some brownie points for the upcoming general election? YB Lim has more on this in his blog.
