In B.Malaysia Scarecrow Is...

In Bahasa Malaysia Scarecrow ( orang-orang ) is a puppet that scares away birds in the paddy field. The word orang means human. When orang is duplicated as orang-orang, apart from scarecrow, it also means more than one person.

I have prepared some sentence practice. Read and try to differentiate the humans and non-humans
