PETALING JAYA, March 5 — Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) has issued a statement explaining the spelling of “ kuetiau” which had caused a stir on social media. It stated that the official spelling of the popular flat rice noodles that caused a social media stir after it was shared on the organisation’s social media — was actually not something new. “ Kuetiau” was incorporated into the second edition of the Kamus Dewan in 1984 as part of the effort for uniformity of spelling to be used in an official context.
