Perry White said he worked for Borneo Gazette...since Borneo/Kalimantan is an island with 3 countries (Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei),I think he could speak Melayu, Indonesian and Dayaknese (Borneo primitive tribe languange)...

Borneo is also closer to Philipphines and Singapore,I wonder if he could speak Tagalog

Pardon me for my bad English
