dont use silahkan...the correct word to use in this context is TOLONG..
tolong jangan memakai etc etc...
Please dont...
Silahkan is when the other person says.. please go ahead...please come in, please eat this...
but tolong is for the person (you) saying
please dont do that.. pleaes dont use peanuts .. please get me a glass of water... when your asking someone to do something for you ... :)
