Hone Your Phonics Skills of L and R in Bahasa Malaysia

HOW important are phonics skills of L and R...? David my friend whenever he waves to a waiter to pay the bill says : " KiLa". That is considered GOOD for his standard of Bahasa Malaysia. On not-so-good days, he snaps his fingers at the waiter and says: " Boy, GiLa." The waiter still comes, but friends with keen ears always look forward to some "entertainment". Strictly your choice to brush up your L and R or not, kid. Or, be like Uncle David.
