My thoughts on the names Putera and Puteri

Which actually means Prince and Princess in Bahasa Melayu respectively.

From my experience with teaching/ tutoring kids, kids with those names have somewhat elevated egos and thought that the whole world revolve around them. Often, they would refuse to do whatever you told them to (like do your homework and stop making noise in class).

On the flipside, it's funny to see kids laughing when I accidentally switched the names - for example, for a boy named Putera, I accidentally called him 'Puteri' instead, and vice versa. :P The whole class will burst out in laughter lol :P



This can also considered as a part of my tuition anecdotes, albeit a bit short.
