Sorry Alan, but i'm going to call you out just a little bit here.
As you probably know, Google Translator is to Indonesian languages what a car crusher is to a junkyard automobile. You know it was once a vehicle and you can still see parts of what it once was, but now it has little meaning.
What i get from it is:
"Do not forget: - TWO ENOUGH!!"
But since keris sepang is supposed to encourage child birth is this phrase really meant to mean "Two is NOT enough"?
