In the fast-paced world of advertising, language is not just a tool for communication but also an element of brand identity and cultural representation. Recently, concerns have arisen regarding the incorrect use of Bahasa Melayu in advertisements and public signage, sparking debates about linguistic integrity versus creative freedom. As advertisers and creative agencies navigate these waters, they face the challenge of balancing the evolving nature of language with the need to preserve its correctness and cultural significance. This discussion is critical, as the implications extend beyond mere communication, but also influencing social perceptions and national identity. Today, we speak with Prof Said Bani C.M.
