My one, My two, My three


What is wrong with this sentence? “This computer is my one.”

The right sentence should be: This computer is mine.
“My one”  seems to be a translation from local languages. They have two words to show possession and maybe that is why they feel uncomfortable to say one word (mine) and they use two words g.
Bahasa Malaysia – saya punya (my possession)
Chinese – gua ei/ngor ke   – my one
