The word 'keling' in Kamus Dewan is permissible, the High Court ruled today.
It accordingly dismissed an appeal by the
Selangor and Federal Territory Angkatan Pelopor Islam Muslim (Apim)
against the decision made by Senior Assistant Registrar Nik Isfahanie
Tasnim Wan Abdul Rahman on Dec 29, 2003 which struck out a civil suit
over the use of the word.

Keling: Of Kelings, Bangalis & Mamas

Recently there has been a lot of brou-ha-ha over the inclusion of the word "keling" in the Kamus Dewan, published by the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP).

The group's main reason for doing so is because the particular word concerned is derogatory to Malaysians of Indian origin. They therefore want the word to be struck off from the dictionary."

Keling: Some words are not a joke

IN polite terms, it was deja vu. In reality, it was pure racist slur.
It was a case of “oops, he did it again” when Jerai MP Datuk Badruddin Amiruddin referred to the Malaysian Indians as keling last Tuesday.
Records showed that he uttered the derogatory word in the same august house on April 21, 1998. "
