Malay term or phrase: Penduduk Asia
Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows the correct translation for the word " penduduk Asia". Should I use the term 'Asians', 'Asian citizens' or 'Asian residents'.

This comes from an excerpt from this particular sentence, "Para pemimpin Asia dan penduduk Asia umumnya belum lagi mencapai kebebasan berfikir dan kebebasan untuk melihat secara kritis segala idea dan ideologi yang datang dari luar Asia"

English translation:asian people
Explanation:
"residents" atau "citizen" lebih cenderung dikaitkan dengan kerakyatan sesebuah negara. "penduduk asia" dalam konteks ini mempunyai makna yang sama dengan "orang asia" atau "orang-orang asia"

On the same note, I think the word \'Asian\' is more suitable than \'Asian people\'
