  We describe here a methodology to identify a list of ambiguous Malay words
that are commonly being used in Malay documentations such as Requirement
Specification. We compiled several relevant and appropriate requirement quality
attributes and sentence rules from previous literatures and adopt it to come
out with a set of ambiguity attributes that most suit Malay words. The
extracted Malay ambiguous words (potential) are then being mapped onto the
constructed ambiguity attributes to confirm their vagueness. The list is then
verified by Malay linguist experts. This paper aims to identify a list of
potential ambiguous words in Malay as an attempt to assist writers to avoid
using the vague words while documenting Malay Requirement Specification as well
as to any other related Malay documentation. The result of this study is a list
of 120 potential ambiguous Malay words that could act as guidelines in writing
Malay sentences
