KANGAR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- The Perlis Writers' Association has urged the government to revert the usage of the term Bahasa Malaysia (BM) to its original term, Bahasa Melayu.
"We do not have the intention to deny the 1Malaysia concept but we want to continue upholding Bahasa Melayu as a sovereign language in this country and to return its function as the official language," the association's First Leader Muhammad Harun said in his speech at its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) here on Sunday.
He added that Bahasa Melayu has been widely spoken for a long time and had become a sovereign language.
