Note on Translation from English/Bahasa Malaysia to Chinese • Google translate can only be used as a first attempt to get the essence of the sentence; grammar and sentence structure in Google translate are not reliable. • After obtaining the correct meaning, one has to work on the language specific grammar and structure; and refine it to that specific situation and cultural context. Malaysians’ Huayu (华语) is different from Putonghua (普通话); to be truly internationally aligned one has to adjust it further to the international Chinese standard. • A truly professional job will also involve a native speaker/cultural specialist to review before using the translated text.

Correct Translation of Teoh Beng Hock’s Suicide Note: When someone commits suicide; he won’t

Correct Translation of Teoh Beng Hock’s Suicide Note: When someone commits suicide; he won’t see you again. So Goodbye here does not mean see you again (再见 Zàijiàn); it means I leave you forever (永别了 Yǒngbié le). One Miss Malaysia made the reverse mistake when bidding farewell to the audience before stepping off the stage; she said 永别了 - “I leave you forever. ” A phrase only said in sorrow when one is about to die. Note: She did finally win the title in that competition for her other authentic performance, but one can be surprised why the judges were so loose on such basic standard!
