Hmm.. the Tenas Effendy's Collection requires a password to view the content. A pity -- would have loved to just take a peek to learn more.
Hi Ivan, no worries. You can log in by registering free-of-charge here (http://www.malaycivilization.com/frmLogin_NewUserSignup_Guest.asp). Then you can search all the sayings and peribahasa on the Tenas Effendy Collection and all the other collections. I have updated the home page link so you can access the Malaycivilization.com prior to registration. However you can't navigate it until you register. They smart la..
Yeah, well I still think it'll be better if they give a preview or something. I went to the site and wasn't really that inclined to register. Don't have a compelling reason to do so. Maybe next time. Thanks for updating the link though. It helps.
