21st century Malay sarcasm at its best

Apart from their laziness and their love for the keris and the tongkat, the Malays are well-known for their sarcasm. Sindir, perli (or perliaq, the Kedahan Malay would have uttered it if there had been such a word in their dictionary), kias, olok, jolok, ajuk and ejek are some of the words that describe this art. The Malays would even go to the extent of pukol anak sindir menantu

Anwar Ibrahim once considered himself like an anak to Mahathir. This, of course, was when the throne was in sight. These days, the two would sindir-menyindir, no love lost between them. 

Read the Old Man's post here for the best of the best of Malay sarcasm.

    Kalu kat utara sebut perliaq tu boleh bawak maksud lain tu...hati2 bro kalu penggunaan bersaam ayat tak betul...umpamanya "Hang dok perliaq pak hang kah?" beza maksud kalu "Perliaq pak hang lah"...kalu Penang plak selalu guna "Chamdek" sama maksud dgn perli/kutok

    Oh, yeah ? So 12 years later, the chief instigator of Sodomy I gets payments from the Ministry of Tourism ? Ministry officials get charged, but she is off the hook ? Saiful bonks the DPP attending to his case, and there is no problem ?

    He squanders RM 360 billion and he chooses not to answer the allegations - made by a foreigner. He says "I cannot remember" so many times during the Lingam inquiry, but he can remember the other vivid details.

    The man is a liar, a crook, and a menace to society. May Allah have mercy on his soul when he goes to meet his Maker.

    Ada suara-suara sumbang yang menggelar Tun M sebagai "Mamak", bukan "Melayu".

    Kita semuanya "Pendatang" dari tempat Nabi Adam mula bertapak.

    Bezanya, ada setengah-setengah "Pendatang" kekal menjadi "Pendatang" tegar. Tapi mereka ini amat marah apabila dilabelkan sebagai "Pendatang".

    Lalu mereka membidas seperti kata-kata Tun M sebagai "Mamak Pendatang".

    Kedua-duanya "Pendatang". Malahan kita semua.

    Bezanya:-

    "Pendatang" tegar sampai sekarang tidak fasih berbahasa Kebangsaan, apa lagi hendaklah mendahulukan Bahasa Kebangsaan di depan bahasa nenek moyang mereka dalam segenap hal.

    "Mamak Pendatang" Tun M ini, fasihnya dia berbahasa Melayu, sudah sampai ke tahap "pantun seloka, Malay sacarsm, sulamn bahasa yang penuh bermakna, susunan kata yang memberikan makna yang mendalam dsb". Malahan orang Melayu sendiripun kalah dalam susunan bahasa yang ditulis oleh "Mamak Pendatang" Tun M ini. Jadi Tun M sebenarnya sudah jadi "Melayu", bukan lagi "Pendatang". Betapa Tun M in menjunjung langit tempat di mana buminya dipijak.

    Sedangkan "Pendatang" tegar ini masih terkial-kial untuk menyebut beberapa patah perkataan Bahasa Kebangsaan. Asyik menjunjung langit tempal asal nenek moyang, walaupun kaki berpijak di bumi asing.

    Jadi, nak marahkan siapa? Sendiri punya perangai. "Pendatang" yang tetap menjadi "Pendatang"

    'peliaq' tidak merujuk pada perbuatan perli. tidak bersangkutan langsung dengan sarcasm

    'peliaq' merujuk pada 'benda' yg dibawah kain abe jak ( where he shown it to some Puteri UMNO doing house to house campaign at one election)

    tapi sarcasm/ perli semua ni hanya jadi kalau orang2 itu ada muka. kalau style takdak muka, perli p la sampai ke siang pun

  9. Tun Dr Mahathir adalah pemimpin Islam yang sama level dengan Tun Perak dari zaman Sultan Melaka, yang lain, tak boleh harap nak sampai tahap yang sama!

    Kalau setakat Khalid Gereja Samad, Khairy Jamaludin, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim (BABI), Lim Guan Eng dan lain2, semua bak habuk di tepi bilik aje jika nak dibandingkan dengan TDM yang telah diberikan oleh Allah SWT sebagai belas kepada Malaysia!

    Dan ramai masih tidak bersyukur

    Sdr Rocky,

    Gambaq dah tukaq non. Nampak kepala muda hensem dan ringan. Kalo pijak mesin timbang spring tak dan rosak. Lagu tu lah kot. Perli lain pelir lain. Perli org Penang sebut 'perli' juga. Pelir tu tongkat waran laki lah. Org Penang kata peliaq.


    Ni ada joke sikit. Lain juga bila orang kata juboq. Masa Anwar Ibrahim sekolah dulu, dia selalu minta duit dua kupang kat Pak dia. Pak dia selalu bagi. Satu hari mak dia tanya 'awat hari2 minta duit dua kupang'. Anwar jawab, 'saya pi main juboq di kedai mamak kat belakang masjid mak'.

    Mak dia terus pengsan. Pak dia pula hairan macam mana duit dua kupang cukup nak main juboq.


    Rupanya bukan juboq Anwar main (masa tu lah), tapi dia pi main music Juke Box. Pendek kata bahasa indahkan manusia.

    La ni bila dah dewasa Anwar dah tak main Juke Box dah.

    Hang ni sapa dok peleceh Tun M.
    Hang adalah jenis manusia yang tak sedar diri. Cermin diri hang dan tengok baik-baik. Hang adalah pendatang , pendatang Haram macam cina bangsat tu. Sebab tu hang tak rasa malu kutuk TUN M yang telah berjasa kepada Negara ,bangsa dan Islam selama 22 tahun menjadi PM. Apa jasa hang. Kalau hang ni islam aku rasa tak layak menjadi orang islam pun. Cara hang lebih macan yahudi. Bulan puasa macam ni pun hang dok mengutuk. Mangkut ayun betul. Hang tak layak dok diTanah Melayu ni. Elok hang pergi kemana saja yang hang rasa bebas boleh berjubuqqq macam Anwar.

    Maaf Dato.....

  12. Seorang pejuang bangsa seperti Anwar tidak lari dari perjuangan menegak keadilan dan kesaksamaan rakyat.

    Dipenjara ISA 1974 dan 1998
    Dipukul dan diracun
    Ditawarkan suaka politik & habuan tidak di terima

    Bandingkan Anwar dengan Md Taib & Rahim Tamby Chik.

    Anwar tidak terpalit dengan rasuah seperti mereka ini.

    Kenapa Mahathir dan konco2 takut sangat Anwar?
    Akta Pencegah Rasuah 1997 yang dibentangkan Anwar di Parlimen membolehkan BPR dakwa penjawat awam walaupun 10 tahun dah berhenti.


    Mahathir rugikan negara RM360B, Badawi bagi RM250B blok M kepada Brunei
    Najib kena kawtow KTM Land dengan S'pore berapa B pulak

    So sapa pejuang bangsa ni

    This old man expired long ago. He gave Malaysia 22 darkest year, he is the mother of all racism.

    One of the reason why Malaysia is poor is because he spend away RM200 Billion with his failed Mega project. Where is your multi super corridor, Tun?

  18. Godfather seems to have a thing with Dr Mahathir and the alleged RM360 Billion. Its becoming an obsession for him isn't it.

    Maybe Godfather can enlighthen us by breaking down the RM360 Billion. Wonder how much is true and how much is just hogwash cooked up by that Mat Salleh apa nama dia tu.

  19. Mat Penang, hang patut apply kerja jadi coffee boy Anwar memandangkan dia idola besar anda. Bila dapat kerja tu jangan pergi seorang-seorang bila dipanggil ke kondo buat urusan OK.

    Untuk pengetahuan anda, Anwar dipenjara 6 tahun sebab melakukan rasuah besar iaitu menyalah gunakan kuasa semasa dia menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri pada tahun 1997 dulu.
    Tak payah cerita pasal kes liwat meliwatlah kamu tentu tak percaya kan.

    Baca sikit lah pasal apa yang berlaku jangan dok dengar pintal belit penceramah Pakatan yang dok spin pasal Anwar tu. Kawan baik dia Zulkifli Nordin pun sudah dedahkan yang cerita pasal keracunan tu pembohongan besar semata-mata.

    Buka lah mata dan telinga kamu tu. Kalau Anwar pejuang Bangsa maka DAP tu pejuang agama Islamlah. Anwar hanya berjuang untuk diri dia.

    Perwira,

    Inilah dia, hasil anti-PPSMI. Orang bantai kerajaan dalam bahasa Inggeris, hang pegi jawab dalam bahasa melayu. Sementara tohmahan muthafucka godfather tadi dah di broadcast seluruh dunia untuk semua org yg boleh baca English, hangpa masih nak terkial-kial defend dalam satu bahasa yang hanya orang-orang melayu saja boleh baca, menaikkan lagi indeks syok sendiri pre-PRU13.

    Dato Samad Said Janggut, Professor Shahrir Mohd Zin dan pejuang-pejuang bahasa yang lain, nah terimalah natijah “Memperkasakan Bahasa” hangpa semua. Satu hari nanti Bangsa Melayu itu akan pupus, dan segala kias Hang Tuah dan segala kejerihan Samad Janggut tak akan dapat menyelamatkan keruntuhan ini. Yang berdiri teguh hanyalah bahasa, dan frasa-frasa serta kata-kata indah dalam bahasa melayu akan di hiasi dalam muzium-muzium seluruh dunia, a reminiscent of an ethnicity that is rich in prose but void of soul. Void of strength and dignity.

    Thanks a lot, all you professors Shahrir and Dato’s Samad Said. Dan sekutu-kutu you guys. If you think it’s bad now, wait till your generation has passed away and your grandchildren takes the helm of this country … only to give it to the more condescending English-fluent speakers. I am wrong? Pray that I be.

    Sekali lagi, PERWIRA and gang. Kalau kita frasakan semula pujangga Iqbal: mahukah kita jadikan melayu ini seperti ombak di lautan, berbunyi hanya bila terhempas di pantai?

    Godfather,

    360B wasted? First time I hear of this 360B. What, your DAP masters don’t even care to provide factuals anymore and just simply pluck it from nowhere? Anyway, as pointed out by Eddy, breakdowns please. We are waiting.

    I am sure this 360B doesn’t include tangible things, does it muthafucka. Like the twin-towers, world’s tallest buildings, at least once. And which became the pivot of business for DAP-voting chinamen, big or small? I am sure it doesn’t include the Penang Bridge, once a favourite punching-bag for Kit Siang and his son, but which thencetofore became the favourite means of transportation of this Lim sekeluarga and countless others in the nation? Or definitely not the KLIA, touted once as top 10 airport in the world. Or Putrajaya which, hateful though it may seem to you because it’s got soooo many onion-shaped domes reminiscent of anything malay, but which you can’t help bringing your commie sedara mara from mainland who comes for visits to don’t you muthafucka. Or the Sepang Circuit. Or the PLUS. Or the many more that act not only as our own proudful mercutanda, but a source of income for the nation as well. Heck, if I can charge a "flashlight fee" of one ringgit everytime a tourist snaps a shot of the KLCC, I'd build me a pagoda right in Kampong Bharu. And I haven't even talked about the food that these people have to pay while they are here, the taxis that they ride, the hotels that they stay in, the gifts that they purchase, the taxes that they pay, the tickets that they buy. And don't get me started on the PLUS highway or Penang Bridge.

    Suffice it to say, each and every sen of the money in muthafuckagodfather's pocket has come directly or indirectly from this so called "360B wastage".

    Pasal sindiran Tun Mahathir tu memang tajam dan sungguh menusuk kalbu. Begitulah indah nya budaya dan bahasa Melayu. Umpama pukul anak sindir menantu.

    hey antubahasa, sorry la, the bm language is BS. it takes 3x more syllables on average (informal survey only, don't quote me on this) to say something in malay when compared to to saying the same thing in english/chinese/tamil. if you tack on an extra 3X effort into your thought process instead, kan lagi productive and value-add? there! the next time you're wondering why your arguments can never stand when you find yourself having a debate with a mamat salleh or cina apek, you can comfort yourself with the fact that you've had to deal with more syllables.
    of course when your arguments are 1km off track, then it doesn't matter how quick you can crystalize your diction la. wrong is wrong. you're really picking on the choice of language? how about if i took your money sambil mengucap "terima kasih"? would you then count me as a brother?

    and hello eddy! i dengar emak ngko nak jadi coffee girl anwar. really~! no spin, bro.
    and while you go check with your mom if that's true or not, why don't you look into the missing jet engines and submarine purchase business? all this was while najib was the minister, so maybe you should give him a call, hear his story. tak usah spin, bro.
