That is something funny to say, because bahasa means language, so you are asking: do you speak language?.
It is even funnier when an Indonesian speaks English in indonesian way. I'm going to list examples I've found here in Wikipedia, where an Indonesian wikipedian is trying to communicate in English. Sometimes it is irritating at the beginning, when he/she is trying to repel your arguments, but the more time you read his/her statement the funnier it is.
[edit] Requesting a cleanup
On August 23, 2006 in Wikipedia:Cleanup, somebody who insisted to put a cleanup tag in the Bandung article, although efforts have been done, asked this request:
- Bandung - This article seems to be all over the place. Although it is on the right path to a good article, it still needs some taking a look at by someone who can do somewhat of an overhaul.
(Note that he/she didn't dare to put his/her name in that request)
If you're an Indonesian, then you'll smile. The phrase all over the place is a common Indonesian phrase for everywhere, but then the meaning is absurd when you say: this article seems to be everywhere :-)).
Another one is some taking a look at by someone who can do somewhat of an overhaul. Confusing huh? hehehe. I think his statement should be cleaned up first.
Amazingly, he has this userbox: {{{User en}}} — this user is a native speaker of English — in his user page, bwahahaha.

One day, when an Indonesian driver was driving his American boss, his car hit another car in front of him. The driver was directly apologizing to his boss.
When his boss was trying to argue with the other car's driver, due to suddenly stop without any reasons, the driver said:
And the day after, the driver did not come to work. When he came, the American boss ask him.

One day, a westerner lost his motorcycle that he parked in front of a shop in Malioboro street, Yogyakarta. He asked to a person, named Paijo, who was standing nearby.
Paijo then continued.
But the westerner didn't say anything as he didn't understand a word. Paijo was upset when the westerner just kept quiet.
Having no idea what Paijo said, the westerner just went away.
