Cina Babi

It is a Malay word. If this term is directly translated to general understanding, it is a (noun) slang that is often used for certain people. In simple terms, 'Cina Babi' is a slang term used in several Southeast Asian countries. I came across another definition of 'Cina Babi' on this page & was amazed by its accurate definition, therefore I was interested in contributing its definition from another point of view. Ironically, it is indeed true that this term can be found not only in Malaysia & Indonesia where this slang originated since the historical ethnic riots, but also in Brunei & Singapore. 'Cina' means Chinese, while 'babi' means a pig. As I mentioned, it is only focused on certain people. It’s just a slang, a Malay/Indonesian term used by non-sinos (such as Tamil, Javanese, Madurese, and other races) to condemn/purpose it to any 'Cina Babi'. Although it is only focused on certain people, it is very contradictory to real life because it seems like those who carry the kiasu attitude & mentality have become the majority and are eligible to be called 'Cina Babi'. For those who are planning a vacation to the countries mentioned above, there is no need to worry if you encounter them. With this definition I hope to be able to help a little bit of local information in getting to know them first because this kiasu 'Cina Babi' attitude & mentality is common in any business dealing, corporate job, & most often on the road. they often drive as if their grandfather owns the road.
