Hatta’s word to us, the east men
Read to what he said and think bout it!
(Mohammad Hatta, dikutip dari tulisan berjudul “sosiologi Budaya ‘Malas’ dan ‘Rajin’ di
Nusantara” karya Waruno Mahdi)
“Orang Barat sangat mengmoekakan hasil. Hasil ditaroknja dimoeka, laloe ia berichtiar mentjapai hasil jang sebesar-besarnja jang dikehendakinja itoe dengan membanting tenaganja jang ada…. Orang Timoer mengemoekakan tenaga. Tenaga ditaroknja dimoeka, dan dengan tenaga jang paling sedikit terpakai hendak digapainja hasil jang sebesar-besarnja. Ia sedikit menggoenakan tenaga, sebab itoe hasil jang mungkin ditjapainja dengan tenaga jang sedikit itoe sedikit poela djumlahnja.”

Rene, let me translate it for ya. To get a little gist of Bahasa, I’ll translate it directly word to word. That’s why it’s called, Indlish (Indonesian English).
Men west very put forward results.
Results are put in front, and then they promise to reach the big results that they wanted by smacking the power that they have.
Men east put forward power, and with the smallest amount of power they want to reach the biggest result. They use a little bit of energy, that’s why the result which is achieved with little power is also a little in amount
