Ask a chinese what the word “singgalingam” means and they’ll tell you that it means bullshit or bullshitter depending on the context. I learn of this in secondary school, whenever there’s an indian guy bullshitting/talk cock or any derivation of it, my friends will call them “singalingam“. This is by no mean to offend Indians and particularly those with “Lingam” for a name. This is just for humour and educational purposes if I should put it.

Well, just how they came up with this word? In the chinese Hakka dialect, “sin ga lin” is = “sin ga lan” (cantonese) which has almost the same meaning as bullshit. Its a vulgar word. The “lin”/”lan” here is dick. Yes, your dick. My Hakka-speaking friends came up with the subject word by adding a “gam” to the end of the word hence “sin ga lin gam” was coined to address it to the Indian classmates who at times like to bullshit and boast.

Usage examples:

• He is a singgalingam.
• Dey anneh, please don’t singgalingam around.

Alternatively, you can google the word “singalingam” and see for yourself.

Went to Digital Mall today after work and was looking to buy some DVDs for the weekend. Wanna check out if there’s any war movie released recently. Heck.. all DVDs pirate shops closed. Or are they out of business? It could be the aftermath of the recent raids I’d guess. Now where to buy prison break 3 for my dearest? Hmm…. oh yeah, there’s one shop in Aman Suria where I got my Downfall (Hitler’s). Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

If you ask me which Malay song that I won’t get tired of and I can listen again and again in a row… it has to be this one by M.Nasir of Siapa Mahathir (Who is Mahathir) fame many years ago. Man, he was banned to appear in mass media for sometime. Go and google it if you want. I just love the spiritual and uplifting beat of this song.

Hei! kersani mengalir lah dikau
Menjadi raksa
Mengisi belikat punggungku
Agar aku bisa berdiri
Tegap dan segak
Bagaikan laksmana Melayu

Hei! sepuluh helai daun sirih
Ku gentas bersama
Bunga cengkih jadilah dikau
Darah merah pekat
Mengisi uratku
Agar bisa aku berlangkah
Gagah dan tampan
Bagaikan sijantan yang berkokok

Di mana bumi ku pijak
Di situ langit ku junjung
Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam
Biar sampai ke pangkal lengan

Aku seru mentera pusakaku
Mentera semerah padi
