ass.wr.wb
kalau saya boleh menambahkan sedikit, mengenai ucapan Uda Rinalvi...
Uda ucapan tsb, itulah yg menjatuhkan orang minang, karena urang minang
sendiri yg berbicara.
Ingat...!!!
orang minang pantang putus asa, dima bumi di pijak di sinan bumi di
junjuang, nah.. tunjuak-kan lah di lingkungan uda sandiri bahwa urang minang
tuch, orang yg sangat berbudaya ( bahkan mungkin yg tertinggi). dan bukti yg
tampak kini, adalah persaudaraan sesama urang awak, kalau ndak, ma loo awak
bisa maota co iko, ( yg taseba di seluruh penjuru dunia ) Hal iko hanyo ada
pado urang minang.
wassalam
