Malaysian`s Slang

Some of the slang words used in Malaysia. Just like in any other culture, there are many more.

TAPAU is buying food to take home, take away or to go. Another word often used for this is BUNGKUS, which means wrap it up.

JOM-LAH! or just JOM! is to say "lets go!" or "come!"

BRUDDER is actually brother spelt the Malaysian way, used to refer to a man, just the same as how "bro" is used in English.

*Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's language or dialect but are considered acceptable in certain social settings. Slang expressions may act as euphemisms and may be used as a means of identifying with one's peers.- Wikipedia.
