The language refer by Peggy Tan is manglish.Below are some of her examples :
1)
A : Alamak! I forgot to buy the book for the boss. Matilah ... I won't be promoted . Gone lah , my future in this company is gone.
B: Don't worry ,man! The boss is quite chin chai.
2)
A : Let's yam seng tonight . We must booze this brandy .
B : Ya... don't be a pondan , drink up.
C : What lah ? I'm not a pondan ... I will bottoms up two glasses of brandy. No problem , man!
3)
Madam ! I have to go and throw water ( buang air) !
4)
You don't twenty-five (misunderstand for Hokkien) me lah !
Acutally , manglish is truly a Malaysian speaking style with many similarities with the Singapore Singlish . It is all in good fun .
I hope I have not offended anyone as it is not my intention to offend .
Everybody , keep "rojak " language Rock!!

其实我们马来西亚的语言有时候真的很好笑，我曾听过一个老师说，我们马来西亚华人很习惯说：“饼干“漏风”了；而中国人却说：“饼干受潮了。”中国人说我们马来西亚的饼干很“先进”，是可以“打风”的...你说是不是很好笑？
