Malay to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Education / Pedagogy / category of investor | | Malay term or phrase: bumiputera | I am in no doubt about what "bumiputera" means, but I would like to know if there is a standard or official way of translating it in this context.
It is one of three headings (for equity holders in a company) as follows:
-- Bumiputera
-- Bukan Bumiputera
-- Asing
All I can think of is "Ethnic Malay" but I don't know how correct this is.
Thanks |
| | | bumiputera | Explanation:
Suggest to use the original word as bumiputera. The native/indigene Malay is commonly known as bumiputera even in English writing materials. Translation of the term might even confuse the reader.
--Bumiputera = bumiputera
-- Bukan Bumiputera - non-bumiputera
-- Asing - foreigner |
