That is surprisingly similar indeed  

 

The problem is, Dutch words are slowly vanishing and replaced by English words.

 

Ask any highschooler and they won't know what 'kastanye' is. And in 10 years I think there will be a dumb video on Youtube that rants about how the Dutch copied Indonesian words

But we sort of did, a little. Indonesian/Malay (apparently it's sort of listed together?) is apparently on the 7th place of languages we 'loaned' words from  

 

I see some examples like ketjap, klamboe, loempia, kroepoek and some more

Sorry I feel so sad for them. The coach is also not given a chance to go for the complete tests. I feel so sad for him now. How bad is this now?

 

Very bad in here, I would say. People complained about how the government is not helping in providing the healthcare but they themselves can't follow official directions. Instead of practicing social distancing, many household believed that putting a clove of garlic in your pockets and around your house will shield you from the virus

Alright I guess I can understand how you feel by now. Stay safe. I clearly understand the reason why Indonesia is slow to get the test done already. Anyway just like what you say the citizens there are really not following orders and it is making things difficult with limited test kids around.

Of course it happens, what I am referring as dumb is that someone actually consider ranting for centuries of cultural exchange
