Sorry, I don't like argue anything, I will accept if it's the fact you said.
However i just like to share the below statement with you guy. I believe all of you know how to read BM. Please translate it to let our foreign friend know if possible.
"Namun begitu, pada 4 Jun 2007, Kabinet Malaysia telah membuat keputusan untuk menukarkan penggunaan "Bahasa Melayu" kepada "Bahasa Malaysia". Kabinet mengarahkan semua kementerian, universiti dan pusat pengajian tinggi supaya memaklumkan jabatan serta agensi berkaitan untuk menggunakan istilah "Bahasa Malaysia" dalam surat-menyurat, notis dan dokumen. Rasionalnya adalah untuk menanam semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia yang berbilang kaum. Pada 5 November 2007, Menteri Penerangan Malaysia, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin, menegaskan lagi bahawa penggunaan istilah baru "Bahasa Malaysia" adalah muktamad."
For full statement please read it from https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahasa_Malaysia?w...

@cv2 Please read it again until you are fully understand it, thanks. The term 'Bahasa Malaysia' use in Malaysia is to represent 'Bahasa Melayu'. BUT countries outside Malaysia still using 'Malay' to represent 'Malay'. Just only in Malaysia we call 'Bahasa Melayu' as 'Bahasa Malaysia'.
And, I have clearly stated this statement in my previous comment. Please check it out.

lol why argue over something so childish?
Mengikut Perlembagaan Malaysia istilah yang betul ialah bahasa Melayu. Walau bagaimanapun kabinet Malaysia telah mengeluarkan arahan agar istilah bahasa Malaysia digunakan menggantikan istilah bahasa Melayu bagi tujuan perpaduan. Dalam hal ini kami berpendapat penggunaan bahasa Melayu atau bahasa Malaysia perlu disesuaikan mengikut konteks penggunaannya. contohnya, jika penggunaan ini bagi tujuan ilmu maka istilah bahasa Melayu yang paling tepat digunakan kerana bahasa itu disandarkan kepada peradaban Melayu.
