its still an adaptation from the Cantonese language,Kamus DewanThe Third Edition printed in 1994

same like most of the english adapted words used by malays...it still went into the Kamus...so no...pokai is originated from Cantonese,its is considered as an "adapted word" in Malay

pokai is already a word registered in BM, borrowed from cantonese. the meaning differs slightly from the original word, as been described numerous time already.
