Bangi Public Library Adds Giant 'Perpustakaan' Sign After M'sians Condemned Its English Signage

Back in February, we shared how the Hulu Langat District Public Library in Bangi, Selangor faced scrutiny from sections of the public for using English on its

neon signboard instead of the official national language. This was despite the main signage at the library’s entrance already in Bahasa Melayu.

In the caption, DBP congratulated PPAS for its initiative to immediately implement improvements in line with DBP’s efforts to dignify the use of the national language, especially in public spaces. It is unknown when the Bahasa Melayu signboard was erected on top of the public library, though based on posts on the Hulu Langat District Public Library Facebook page, the sign has been there since at least 8 March 2024.PPAS reached out to DBP and worked together to further improve initiatives to dignify Bahasa MelayuWhen the English signage first went viral in February, it caught the attention of DBP director-general Dr Hazami Jahari who chimed in on the matter.

As reported by Majoriti, PPAS’ head of corporate department Zafrullah Aris revealed that both parties have agreed to improve the initiative in dignifying the use of Bahasa Melayu.
