Meleis Singapork like to say gerek seh. For me, it means like best or cool. Seh is just like gila. So gerek seh = hebat/best gila
Johor pipul also got use this sometimes.
gerek /ger-rerk, ˈɡɛrɛk̚/ n. [poss. < Mal. gerek, menggerek bore, drill a hole; or var. of gerang eagerness, keenness, zest (Wilkinson)] Mal. slang Style.

"Seh" does not mean "gila" FYI. "Seh" has no meaning like "lah" "loh" "meh" "hor""har". "Seh" is like alternative to "siot" "sial" "siol"Johor pipul also got use this sometimes.
