Error during command authentication.

You are right, SAYA was from the word SAHAYA, means SLAVE.

The old days, when we speak to people of a very high ranking or to a king, we have to call ourself with SAHAYA.

Then, in Bahasa Melayu (Indonesian) we shorten it became SAYA. 

The  same with the words SAHAJA  -- >  SAJA and BAHARU ---> BARU  and DAHULU --> DULU.

All the best,
