laser51088 SG Why are drill commands given in malay? if for historical reasons, then y they still in malay?
tripwire SG the military commands are in malay... the coat of arms of singapore is marked by malay... the national anthem is in malay.... the national language is also malay.... in a nation with less then 15 percent malay... why this anomaly?? its to remind us... that there was a time when singapore was weak and we were bullied, ridiculed, shoved around, despised and threatened by our regional malay brotherly nations... that we have no choice but to accede to their wills and whims and their perversed ideology of the views...of malay bumi pa_lan_pa ideology.... as long as all the above are in malays... we shall remember... how much our malay neighbours "LOVED" us.... how often they have looked down on us, despised us and threated us.... given the opportunity ... we will one day forced them to sing Majulah singapura... BACKWARD....
Master -_- SG Here we go again if u have no respect for the malaysian malays, please show some for the SG malays
nismoS132 SG i seriously think it needs to be changed to english (or rather, singlish ), simply becoz english is more a national language than malay is.
jOhO SG anybody know most of the "long forms" of drill commands? besides the usual left turn rite turn march and stop, i forgot most of it liow. i remember i was marching as GOH in NPD 95. the bloody turn right command was so DAMN long i was like damn blur. basically i think it's becos only the GOH turns right, and the rest of the parade stays still or turns left or some crap like that. anyway i think drill commands in malay sounds cool. seen those american movies where they give commands in english? i think it sounds dumb. mauahhaahahhaha...
bismarck SG sounds cool because we dont know waht they mean,we only remember that this amt of words means go left, go right. they dont feel dumb because they are proud of english as their national and official language. i mean it's their culture.
Moonstriker SG Hey man..... quit being racist.... Malay commands + national anthem is fine.... changing to english now is like too sudden a change... Btw.. the drill commands... i have a whole list of parade commands somewhere in my room... needa look fer it first......
tripwire SG learn malay language for wat? their race are so racist... even if you can speak their language... you are still yellow skin.... and will be regarded as such....
35MM Gunner SG i'm sure they think da same way bout our commands english speaking country but malay commands
EXCO SG Kawalan kehormatan!!! Akan menjalan lalu!!! Dalam masa cepat!!! Begerak kekenan!!! Kekenan pusing!!!!! Wrong also never mind, anyway not many guys on parade knows what it means. Heck, even the NDP parade commander don't know what it means and gives the wrong commands.
EXCO SG British commands are always very “intuitive”. Not sure about American commands. I like the British words of command very much.
Typhoon SG Yup, I think the Brits are very smart... I was in London once and managed to see the changing of the Guard at Buckingham... during the parade, I saw this guy bringing out a goat on a leash Found out later that it was their unit mascot About turn! Right turn! Right In-Cline! Quick March!
