Who says our English, Manglish is teruk? If you speak with British english for instant, you need to use more space and waste more time than ours does. Just see below, how Manglish is proven simpler, shorter, more concise, straight-to-point, effective dan lain2. Thanks Pijol for this information via email.

Okay aku akui tak semua Manglish bunyi sekasar tu. In fact, macam banyak Chinglish je kan. Entah lah tapi kat Malaysia memang terbukti kita suka simplify kan bahasa Inggeris, dan aku tak heran pun. Jangan lah nak gelabah sangat kalau setakat sembang2 dengan member nak guna broken English intentionally pun nak emo2. Pastu berlagak macam kerbau yang kau lah paling terror English, kau lah kamus Oksfot bergerak. Ptuiii!!!
Apa kau dah cukup dalami BAHASA MELAYU ke? Whatever it is, aku agree dengan sorang kawan aku ni. She speaks very good English but she'll get mad if Malays don't speak proper Bahasa Melayu. Kan awesome tu! Orang kata, biarlah adil tapi bahasa ibunda janganlah dirosakkan dan jangan biar terkubur je. Ada orang butthurt kan? Oh ya, sekolah rendah dan menengah sekarang pun dah agung2 kan Bahasa Inggeris. Bagus lah, nak bawak rakyat Malaysia jauh ke antarabangsa kan. Good Job! #sarc
Dan maaf juga sebab dah lama tak update, been busy lah lately. HEHE. But I'm actually searching for more and better contents for KecekBantal. Will serve the best and only the best, InsyaAllah :)
Amios Adigos!
