"Malaysia Boleh" or "Malaysia BISA"?

If you've an avid listener to Malay songs, you'll realize that a lot of the songs actually uses words like "BISA", "BEDA","KARENA" and "COBA".

BTW, those are Indonesian words.
huh....Bahasa Indonesia in Malay songs....Are we really that sad????

____________

MALAYSIA BISA!!!

"BISA" has different meaning in different country. In Indonesia, it actually means "CAN". In Malaysia, it means "POISON".

Here're some examples:

Jamal Abdillah- "Kenangan Tak Bisa Dilenyapkan"

6th Sense- "Tak Bisa Memilihmu"

Siti Nurhaliza- "Andai ku bisa merubah semua" a line in "Bukan Cinta Biasa".

By the way the lyrics goes, they are using INDONESIAN interpretation. How sad.

____________

Yes....I bloody know why they use "BISA".

It's a lot easier to rhyme with BISA. Considering, most Malay words ends with A.
-CINTA, KATA, SAYA, MATA, PERMATA, RASA, MASA, MAKA....endless...


Is it that hard to rhyme with "BOLEH"????
-TOREH, PUTIH, TEH, ......KOTE.... ok...I give up...



MALAYSIA BISA!!!!!!
