It's like all the accents from every Asian country rolled into one! But Malaysian English is beautiful, no matter how confusing it is to foreigners.

老师，你知道中文与英文的区别是什么吗？答案就是无论你是谁，只要你的中文发音能基本让人听得懂你要表达什么，不要有人在意你标不标准，语法更是不很要求，务实与效率是中国人的思绪。而英文，明明我与朋友就在讨论数量的问题，他居然问我是三或是树。。。我是科学思维的人，语言是机器能代替的，我是不在乎，那我想问，如果一个人的耳朵有问题，也可能是脑语言处理部分有问题，或是声带有问题，那他要说树还是有说三，是不是他必须有三支手指来补助表达意思呢？

5:55 For cincai, there’re two meanings too. One is being easy going, friendly manner, not fussy, flexible. Another one it can mean negatively, being not self-loving, such as can have a relationship or sex with anyone. So don’t simply say a person, especially girls cincai and got scolded for no reason. xD

He’s wrong on the word “terror”. Terror is used to mean “cool”, “awesome”, “dope” etc. for example “he’s so terror!” (He’s so cool, dude). The other word “action” is usually used to mean cocky or arrogant or even egoistic. In a sentence, it would be “hey the lady so action la” or “that lady is so arrogant”.

cincai（随便）不是马来语，而是闽南话。还有jalan不难理解，跟中文的“门路”这个词一样，也是可以代表一种客观事物，也能代表走关系、走后门。很多马来西亚华人因为太多语言混合使用，其实他们对词源的了解并没有原生方言使用者清楚，这个可以理解。但是还是要澄清一下，我在很多马来西亚华人的频道都遇到这种问题，他们搞不清楚某个词是来自闽南语还是粤语还是马来语，因为他们都混在一起使用了。但是这些词在中国大陆福建闽南语地区或广东粤语地区都很容易分辨。
