Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan melalui emel.

Jangan is used to make a negative command in Malay: don’t ...

So:

• Jangan hantar ... = Don’t send ...

This is different from tidak, which is used to negate statements, not commands.

Compare:

• Saya tidak hantar maklumat itu. = I do not send that information.
• Jangan hantar maklumat itu. = Don’t send that information.

So in this sentence, jangan is the correct word because the speaker is giving a warning or instruction.

After jangan, Malay often uses the base verb rather than the meN- form.

So:

• Jangan hantar = Don’t send
• not usually Jangan menghantar in normal everyday instruction

This is very common in commands:

• Jangan buka pintu. = Don’t open the door.
• Jangan pergi sana. = Don’t go there.

You may sometimes see fuller forms in very formal writing, but for ordinary warnings and instructions, jangan + base verb is the standard pattern.

Yes. In English, the subject you is usually implied in imperatives, and the same thing happens here.

So Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan melalui emel. naturally means:

• Don’t send banking information by email.

There is no need to say awak or anda unless you want extra emphasis or clarity.

Malay often leaves out subjects when they are understood from context.

Hantar generally means send or deliver.

Depending on context, it can be used for:

• sending a message
• sending a file
• delivering an item
• taking someone somewhere in some contexts

In this sentence, because the object is maklumat perbankan and the method is melalui emel, hantar clearly means send.

Malay noun phrases usually put the main noun first and the word that describes it after.

So:

• maklumat = information
• perbankan = banking / related to banking
• maklumat perbankan = banking information

This is a very common pattern in Malay:

• kad kredit = credit card
• nombor telefon = telephone number
• akaun bank = bank account

So the word order is normal Malay word order, even though it may feel reversed to an English speaker.

Perbankan means banking or the banking sector/field.

It is built from bank with the affix pattern per-...-an, which often creates a noun related to a field, system, or activity.

So:

• bank = bank
• perbankan = banking

That makes maklumat perbankan more formal and broad than just maklumat bank, which could sound more like information about a bank.

In this sentence, maklumat perbankan means financial or bank-related information such as:

• account numbers
• card details
• online banking details

Melalui means through, via, or by means of.

In this sentence:

• melalui emel = through email / via email / by email

It introduces the method or channel used to do something.

Other examples:

• melalui telefon = by phone
• melalui laman web = through the website
• melalui pos = by post

So here it tells you the medium by which the information would be sent.

Yes. Menerusi is very close in meaning to melalui and can also mean through or via.

So these are both natural:

• Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan melalui emel.
• Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan menerusi emel.

Melalui is very common and neutral.
Menerusi can sound slightly more formal or written in some contexts, but both are correct.

Both spellings may be seen, depending on style guide, region, or period:

• emel
• e-mel

In modern Malaysian Malay, emel is widely accepted and common.

It is simply the Malay spelling of email. The pronunciation is also adapted to Malay sound patterns.

So if you see either emel or e-mel, they refer to the same thing.

It is generally neutral and appropriate, especially in warnings, notices, websites, security messages, or official advice.

It is direct because it is an instruction, but it is not automatically rude. Malay often uses short, clear forms for warnings:

• Jangan merokok. = No smoking / Don’t smoke.
• Jangan sentuh. = Do not touch.

If you wanted to soften it in speech, you could add words like:

• Tolong jangan ... = Please don’t ...
• Janganlah ... = Please don’t / do avoid ...

But for a cybersecurity or banking warning, the short direct form is perfectly natural.

Malay does not use articles like a or the the way English does.

So maklumat perbankan can mean:

• banking information
• bank information
• banking details

depending on context.

Also, Malay nouns do not have to change form for plural in the way English nouns often do. Context usually makes the meaning clear.

In a warning like this, English might say:

• Do not send banking information by email
• Do not send your banking details by email

Malay can express this without articles or obligatory plural marking.

Yes. Malay often leaves possession unstated when it is obvious from context.

So maklumat perbankan in a warning of this kind is naturally understood as banking information belonging to the reader or user, such as:

• your bank account number
• your password
• your card details

If you wanted to make it explicit, you could say:

• Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan anda melalui emel.

But the shorter version is very natural and common in warnings.

A rough guide for an English speaker:

• Jangan ≈ JAHN-gahn
• hantar ≈ hahn-TAR
• maklumat ≈ mahk-LOO-maht
• perbankan ≈ per-bahng-kahn
• melalui ≈ meh-lah-LOO-ee
• emel ≈ AY-mel or eh-MEL, depending on speaker

A few useful pronunciation notes:

• Malay r is usually lightly tapped or rolled, not like a strong English r
• stress is usually not as strong as in English
• vowels are generally pronounced more clearly and consistently

Yes, sometimes.

Kirim can also mean send, especially in some contexts and varieties. But hantar is extremely common and natural here.

Compare:

• Jangan hantar maklumat perbankan melalui emel.
• Jangan kirim maklumat perbankan melalui emel.

Both are understandable, but hantar is probably the more standard and expected choice in a general safety warning.

The structure is:

• Jangan
  • verb
    • object
      • method/channel

So here:

• Jangan = don’t
• hantar = send
• maklumat perbankan = banking information
• melalui emel = by email / via email

This pattern is very common in Malay imperatives and warnings. For example:

• Jangan buka lampiran yang mencurigakan.
• Jangan kongsi kata laluan melalui mesej.

So once you recognize jangan + base verb, the rest of the sentence is usually straightforward to unpack.
