Weasel words[edit]

"It is said that Zubir was viewed by many as a composer with a 'true Malay soul,' "

Oof not been addressed for over 12 years, and the only citation given is a self-published blog post. I found this article written in 2010 quoting "true Malay soul" too, BUT it references Wikipedia... –Jiaminglimjm (talk) 02:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
