Intro

Malaysian born and bred. Did my final year of university in Australia. Currently living and working in Japan.

I'm interested in beefing up the Malay vocabulary here, and with that in mind, I've been trying to read up on the established conventions (WT:ELE etc). If all goes well, I might try to come up with a guideline for Malay entries along the lines of the other language-specific considerations. And even further down the road, I might try to transfer stuff over to the Malay and Japanese Wiktionaries.
