Summary
Culture is a behavior that has become ritual, symbol, icon, and others and eventually has a structural function in social life (Gill 2013). In Malay culture, expressions have important roles since these literary forms usually are full of and rich with advice and learning values. According to (Akmal, 2015), Malay people’s expertise in arranging expressions has been long admired by many people, such as gentle character, high morality and politeness, and other true values. Those can be commonly listened from their utterances. Malay literary culture is not separable from gurindam, pantun and syair. It is not surprising if each Malay wedding ceremony ritual stage, pantun and syair are frequently used. According to Sayekti (2009), Malay classic literature’s typical characteristics are seen in both intrinsic and extrinsic elements and shown in the writers’ appearance who never attach their names in their writing compositions
