How do Malays feel about Cantonese slang word 'jyu hai' referring to a Malay?

Question

And Malay girls about 'wantan mui'? And Indians about 'tausee'? Is there any Tamil slang for Malays or Chinese (with translation please)?

jyu = pig
hai = vagina
jyu hai = pig's vagina
refers to Malay men;

wantan = type of food
mui = girl
wantan mui is because of tudung ('wrapped girl');

tausee = some kind of fish, either tuna or mackerel or sardine (??);

Should get someone who speaks Cantonese, I'm not a Chinese btw...

I think Cantonese slang words are much more offensive than Malay 'apek' or 'cina' or 'keling'.

These terms are commonly used among Cantonese-speaking Chinese in Malaysia, they are present, not a thing from 70's, 80's. Certainly not a thing of past...

Chickencurry, can you get me the translations of those terms as well?

Please don't bother me with other terms, because my question doesn't ask that. If you want to talk about vulgarity of Cantonese or calling names, go to some web forum. It's just like the most offensive term for anybody of another race I've heared in any language, so I want to know about it.

Answer 1

So much for racial harmony and Muhibbah...

LOL

Answer 2

Same when chinese are referred to as 'china apek" or cina kuei. these nicknames are not so frequently used nowadays, they were used more often in the 70's or 80's . Malaysians are more educated, religion and race tolerant now. Most Malaysians will do everything not to break this fragile understanding and respect we have for each other and tried so hard to build.

Well, I don't see both my sons (a teenager and one in primary) using any of these terms. Just for the record, both are in Chinese schools and both have Malay & Indian friends, even calling each other over the phone to chat after school and taking photos with each other!!

Answer 3

This is not the first time I heard about this. Many of the malays don't realize it. Even if they know it, they won't feel offense because it didn't happen in front of them. If something like that happen to an individual, he or she will get mad and consider the people who use tha slang words as rude and uncivilize. In short, hopefully they would stop using that slang words.

Answer 4

i do no longer understand why we would desire to constantly be indignant. I remember being concept that there are 4 books extra down, which comprise the bible and the Quran. extremely, the Quran is the as much as date version of the Bible. So, if it extremely is authentic... Then, the God interior the Bible remains Allah. what's incorrect with that? faith, whilst it comprises matters like this, is amazingly complicated. for this reason i do no longer think of various the inspiration and the after existence. I only take the mutual stable stuff that make me a stable person. Like approximately respecting my physique and the people around me. each and every thing else it rather is demeaning to people, I only took it aside for pondering and learn it classes. It keeps me human, sane and much less unaware of people's existence.

Answer 5

in high school my friends used to call malays as "zezz" (sort of a cool term la masa tu where no malays knew what it meant). i am not sure what it mean to be. but i think multiple z z z represents they are lazy. then the indians call chinese "sa de yan" . then the chinese calls the indian " ah ma ne ne" or " in tu kia"

Answer 6

Name calling can also be considered as a racial slur and profanity is degrading and not acceptable in any societies. It clearly shows that someone who like to use it is rather uneducated, insecure, racist and coward. People like this tend to hide behind their own language and race! It is more about their upbringing and his/her mentality! Same goes with the question here...!
