English the Pommie way

From MM Online:


I say, that bounder looes74 

CHERAS, May 11 — PKR’s top leadership today met its imprisoned de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in hospital to seek his views on candidates to be proposed for the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) Cabinet.

PKR secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the PKR leaders were meeting Anwar after the first round of discussions among PH leaders for the Cabinet positions.

“For PKR, the input or views from Datuk Seri Anwar is needed."

"So today, I, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah, Nurul Izzah and Rafizi Ramli and a few other senior leaders selang seli (alternately) gave input and views to Datuk Seri Anwar and the purpose is for tomorrow where we will continue the next round of discussions”.


our motto "Heaven's light our guide"

God save the Queen
 

Maybe Saifuddin knows English better than I do.

But nevertheless, I feel his sentence as highlighted above might have violated one of the protocols of English, mind you, Pommie English, wakakaka.


confound you looes74, you ought to be horsewhipped for defiling Her Majesty's English, the finest language in the civilised World 

When one describes a group of people including oneself, one should usually place oneself last, as below:

So today, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah, Nurul Izzah and Rafizi Ramli, a few other senior leaders and I ... 

Some examples for you are:



a. Sweetie and I, [wakakaka]
b. Mahathir, Mukhriz and I, [gulp]
c. Pak Haji Hadi and I [Assalamualaikum]

Hope this helps, wakakaka, especially you looes74.

  2. Anwar Ibrahim must be the most privileged prisoner in the world :-) . He is legally still a convicted criminal, though I always considered it an injustice.

    He is staying in a comfortable private hospital room , and receiving endless rounds of visitors....wakaka..

    Never mind, the party that he is DeFacto head just took over control of the Malaysian Federal Administration....it just a matter of legal formalities before he is freed.

    3. Zombies??

    4. zombie mean if u stuff one with "something", he would follow yr instruction like a dog right?

      i ergo believe spore n china zombie cant imagine there is always alternative that could do better right?

    5. Wakakakaka…… there is ONLY that little much of true in yr definition of 'zombie'!

      Zombie doesn't get stuff with "something". He/She/it gets infested.

      Zombie doesn't advance in ANY developments, be they mental, sopo or whatnot. He/she/it stays perpetual in the same decaying stage.

      S'pore & China have chosen a path that doesn't comply with yrs & make a 'living' out of it.

      Can yr alternative does anything better? Taiwan? Wakakakaka…… is this a joke?

      Ain't u wrong?

      BTW, using yr definition of 'zombie' perhaps u r the best example of that species. Right?
