What is "Single" in malay?
Bujang. Bujang in Malay is not married.

The Malay language itself never acknowledges unserious relationships.

Even by tongue it shows our history that "coupling" has never been part of our culture. The word "kapel" or "couple" are English words, hence showing where the idea was originated from.

Yes.
See my overthinking level??????
"Kapel" ini adalah kesan jajahan barat dan illuminati!!!

But seriously. In the past there were no sweet couple couple, if you like someone you have to meet their parents for the men to undergo shit testing. Men fail. No marriage. Men has to work harder to impress the parents aka wali.
Nowadays u just become internet bad boy, girl melt.

The only official couples in the past are married couples. Now that's history.
The closest? Engagements. That's it.
