I don't know if you know, but there's this language called Swahili.
And did you know?
Malaya means Whore in Swahili.
So that means, Malayan Union was actually Whore Union? Wow.

* Kee here. Decided to do some research. From this article I gathered that “Malaya" in Swahili means first, "outcast" and second "prostitute", but overall meant trash.
