We've not heard of any *real* Tsunami affecting Malay speaking regions, so
far, have we? It is evidently impassioned, and the URL is from cjb.net, a
free re-direction outfit, not to mention the poster uses a free address.
SPAM right enough, then, from an organizaton working on a shoestring, most
likely.
BTW, I think it's Malay because a) the word "orang" is used a few times
(this is the only word of the language I know offhand, giving the English
word "Orangutan", Malay for "man of the wild"), b) it does use reduplication
a lot [e.g. Tuan-Tuan, Puan-Puan, etc. throughout), even more than Chinese
IMO & c) I cheated and googled the first seven words -- it's a very common
phrase (25,900 hits) on pages that are obviously Malay, whatever it means...
