@ kamarun, I think many indonesians (even malaysian) have told you that the indonesians doesn’t like the term ”indon” as it deragotory and have negative connotation. You can’t force keep using the word if the people you regard to doesnt like it. Pakistani wouldn’t like being called Paki/s as the american african doesn’t like being called “Niger”. A malaysian blogger, fairy madhzan put it nicely in her blog about this issue. You should have a look at her blog, my.indo.com

Peace

but hey honestly to tell ya…i never feel sad or sorry for my country…like the malay says “hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik hujan batu di negeri sendiri” becoz i really feels the nationhood spirit…how we fight together malays and nonmalays agaist NEP, against AUKU…im proud that i have this here in my country…and we dont simply do it without our brains, have to do it cleverly lah…believe me the UMNO ppl will go down no matter how, no matter when…just wait and see

last Uni Rap Council election, we go on by new strategies…we even seludup our candidates as those proUMNO candidates…we secretly stealed their money for campaign, use their ppl, use their jentera…at last the mainstream media reported aspirasi (proUMNO) candidates won most in public u…the hell they NOT, we have WON really…and they DONOT know haha hehe…dats how we do it the clever way…its damn worth it

But these days I do not recognize the country any more. There is too much hypocrisy and righteous indignation in the country. Tolerance is gone. Few people are happy. Every time I return to Malaysia for a visit I end up feeling sad and disappointed with the way things have become. I wish it was ohterwise, afterall, Malaysia is where I grew up and have family and friends.
