Here's a link to the video,
plus translation, of the song Pak Ahmat and Bu Silvia showed on Tuesday. It is
from an Indonesian movie, "Heart," which, of course, can be seen on YouTube (here's a link to the first section).
And here's an
article about the singer, (and star of the movie) Acha Septriasa, one of (somebody's
list of) Top Ten Hottest Women, an Indonesian living in Malaysia (at least over the
summer).
Two links to examples of Bahasa Indonesia in action:
1)
from Animal Planet (terima kasih,
Kelly!) (Warning: mention is made of snakes eating dogs, although this is not seen.)
2) from
ABC News blog, The Radar (Note: the State Department guy who laid an Apa Kabar on
President Obama was in Peace Corps Malaysia with your very own Ibu Henry back in the day!)
