what's the difference between "saya" and "aku" ? Please tell me the difference. I learned that ussing "saya" is politer than "aku", so I need to use "saya" when I meet new people in Malaysia?

saya is more polite than aku. aku is usually being said among your friends and informal. saya is formal.

It doesn't matter aku or saya when talking to Malaysian people. Both are acceptable.
