SAYANG. I know the word and its implications well. It was a truly Southeast Asian word, soft as its people and well understood from Marang to Manila, Surabaya to Sulawesi, Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu. It describes a love bound to sadness, a tenderness trembling on the edge of tears, a passion from which pity could not be detached.
