Senate president Rais Yatim has taken a swipe at local authorities that adopted the widespread practice of choosing English names over names in Bahasa Melayu for various locations.
Rais, a well-known advocate for the Malay language, said people should not be too excited with using English names, describing the increasingly common practice as"disgusting".
Deadwood
Mengenang kecemerlangan semasa Rais Yatim menjadi menteri Penerangan. Susah nak cari pengganti spt beliau. Budaya, bahasa disanjung...
Umno pun bukan bahasa melayu. Kenapa tak guna nama asal?
Tertembak kaki sendiri ke tu.. 🤭💀🤭
UMNO tu pn nama pendek english gak, okay je korang guna bertahun2 😏
Guna orang tua jugak alihkan isu sebenar. Harga barang naik. Hospital kerajaan nak diswastakan. Duit takde tapi banyak je benda nak dibuat. Dah bayar HSR sebab cancel, nak buat balik.
Menteri menteri bodoh, penyamun, penyangak, penjenayah. sial
Owh, & have u checked how many English words have been malaynized in the DBP dictionary lately? Do you know that there is beautiful local street name in Sabah.. it’s called “Jln Pukak”! U know what that means in Sarawak.. it’s beautiful non the less!!
Actually u people r disgusting, u dont talk abt our commonalities. U talk only about our differences & uses it to divide us all for ur benefit! Try talking about cost of living, jobs, corruption, nepotism, housing, the bloody cabotage policy that’s driving investors away!
The elite Malays would send their children to overseas for their education n definitely the BM is not the main subject matter taught.
Too much time in his hand.
Bila VVIP hantar anak2 masing2 ke luar negara belajar English, sejak darjah 1, lepas balik Malaysia buat bising tt kemegahan Bahasa Melayu. Kemegahan perjuangan, kononnya
Old man out of touch with history
Malay language only beautiful use as liking however disgusting if by force.

Boleh tak fokus masalah kos sara hidup rakyat yg makin menggila ni. Kau anti sgt bahasa luar tapi bila bercuti gi luar negara juga. Lain kali bercuti jer la dlm negara dah rasa terpaling melayu sgt
How's the maid?
What is disgusting is, how Bibik Robengah was bundled out of country?
malaysiakini I really wish you would stop paywalling your tweets. Kinda defeats the purpose !
How come you're not disgusted with Arabic names
I think the word disgusting is best described as 'Malaysian politicians'.
I'm sure changing the names to Malay names will help increase the people's income and boost our economy
DrRaisYatim umnoonline please give me a break. Malu Nak bagi anak nama melayu Alisya la Aleeya la tuih. Don’t try to take Bahasa Indonesia as your own
Ini cadangan ke soalan?
Matter of time every Malaysian will have to have a Malay name. Other names could be considered disgusting.
Nurse yg daftar kelahiran dia ni tersalah eja, patut Rasis Yatim bukan Rais Yatim utk surat beranak dia
Please prioritize on real issues people facing now.
Why is this disgusting being still relevant. Please go away.
Time for you to go to sleep,diam saja boleh?
Says the guy who names his sons Dino and Dani
Apa bahasa kebangsaan Malaysia?
Why do the media keep wasting time space on such an unproductive and personal opinion. I rather you write more on active NGOs initiatives and progress or follow ups on the so many initiative the Government implement. Leave all this politic rhetorics to thier own media.
Says the man who named his children, namely Malini, Dino, Danni and Ronni......terpaling melayu kan?
Welcome to the Islamisation and Talibanisation of Malaysia.
So UMNO (United Malay Nationalist Organization)(in English) menjijikkan? Nanti kita popularkan PKMB ye (Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu) baru mesra Bahasa Kebangsaan kan?
Why did Timah became an issue then? Using Malay name..
Pandemic still around. Economy still weak. Prices of goods are skyrocketing. I can't do anything abt it but I still want to show that I am hero + protector. So I'll just create a ruckus over petty stuffs, i.e. Timah, English names, etc.
We are disgusted with Rosy,Jibby and Mr Hammer. They are enjoying holidays and year end shopping Spree.
Never knew English names were such a hot topic. Only in Malaysia LOL
UMNO= United Malays National Organisation. Please change that if you're really that disgusted
UMNO stands for?
Kuala lumpur is not an english name but popular all over the world
Thanks to previous govt for no have control. I disagree the change of history name from colonial time to national language. But I also disagree those housing project using English name to attract buyer. This is lack of awarness or planning from previous govt.
More pressing matters. Keep priorities straight
Those eyes of rage and resentment…..scary
English names over Malay? He must have just woken up from his day dream.
UMNO is abbreviated from the English name United Malays National Organisation. Is it disgusting?
He's echoing Rendang Cassoulet tu for what? Nazri bitch and moaned about KL building while he's got a kid named Jean Pierre. Please lah ...
Equality must be guaranteed to ensure all citizens have the opportunity for justice and peace. Abolish Malay privileges & RepealArticle153 of Malaysian Constitution for the betterment of Malaysia
An disguisting Malay politicians conivingly send the own children to English speaking n even French speaking countries 4 higher education while pretending 2 champion Malay..The destructive Malay force manipulating the unsuspecting Malays.guardian NikkeiAsia CNBCi CNN BBCNews

You are disgusting to see
Anda terlalu tua dan patut bersara banyak kali. Pemikiran kamu sudah tidak sesuai dlm zaman ini
Useless old fart politikus
Spreading racist issues again to gain popularity for himself and UMNO. That's about the only skill and tool he has. Despite going to university, he did not get educated.
Putrajaya names ok
DrRaisYatim Disgusting UMNO
Hati busuk DrRaisYatim chedetofficial got back stabbed by him
Hypocrites rear its UGLY face. Himself Educated in Government English School and sends his children to overseas English schools. Does he hope to see more Malaysians always held back because of language barrier ? DrRaisYatim wicked !
I am disgusted with a malay party who gets triggered when people not speaking malay but their own party are literally in non-malay language.
Penting ka isu ini pada masa kini?
Agreed. The first proposal to change. TRX TUN RAZAK EXCHANGE - TR TUKAR...
So, are these non-Malay names disgusting, too? How about renaming them Comel, Ali, Abu, Atan, Tompel etc? DrRaisYatim
Concern of the names n not rasuah
United Malay National Organisation...yup truly disgusting

Aren't there more pressuring issues affecting the people? Stop these heroics that don't help the people.
Are Malays with English names disgusting as well?
Dino, Ronni, Malini is Malay name?
UMNO also in disgusting english name
Where is your respect for personal preferences, cultural/religious practices & inclusivity, DrRaisYatim?!! Nothing more serious to be 'disgusted' about?! - 'Rais... likening it to the Chinese who adopted 'European names like Michael, James or George' over their Chinese name'.
Another graduate from Madey Kutty's School of Raciscm & Bigotry! Well done chedetofficial!
Rasuah not disgusting
One wore for this man... Bodoh.
His use-by date expired many, many years ago. Time to leave, orang tua.
Setuju, haram kan bahasa inggiris dan semua bahasa asing di tanah melayu 👍👏
Maybe DrRaisYatim would feel totally out of place in Singapore a country which has no qualms & angst about it's colonial heritage. There are plenty of other local things that are 'disgusting'. Like, say, corruption. Or racism. Don't u agree, YB?
Another joker now diverting issues when it is real many people are suffering from spiral of prices on daily items. What a hypocrisy... Isn't it!
A name can mean everything or nothing, no?
I am sure places with names like Taman Dedak and Wisma Kroni have much nicer ring to it 😂😂😂
did he use malay names to name his children? 🤔
BN and PN are inciting hate.
What's up with the 3R push lately from BN and PN?
