Salah satu warga Malaysia, Imaan, mengakui banyak anak muda di negara itu menggunakan bahasa Indonesia untuk mengumpat saat bermain gim Mobile Legend.

I personally don't have experience playing ML, but have heard anecdotes (or urban legends) of Malaysian players using Indonesian slangs in game chats. IRL though, youngsters rarely use Indonesian slangs when they speak, but that may slowly change due to the huge amount of TikTok content from Indonesia.

Ah, the days when I woke up with my sweaty silhouette on the bed. It's coming back to me... 🥲

On your second point, I came across an online comment asking about a Malay name Saiful, "Saif means sword, so it is sword of what?"

When written in Arabic or Jawi, it is romanised as Saif Al-... No wonder they were confused.

Another example is 烧/燒: "shao" in Mandarin, "sio" in Hokkien but SEA pronunciation closer to /sio/, while Mainland and Taiwan is /ɕio/. ɕ rendered in Pinyin is "x".

Perhaps this article explains it, or at least gives an overview.

Accidentally tapped the option to redeem? That's a lot of points.

I have not check/log into Reddit for a week, but I set up daily email digests so I can see trending posts in 5 subs. Agree that the vibe has changed in the main sub.

Plus delivery fee, tax etc...

Sekali sekala ok la.
