Some Malaysians who also know Mandarin will use qun bou....we learn from watching those HK series and since we know the words, I can speak the same as HK ppl.. just the accent might not be 100% local tone.. but given about 1 month or 2, I think can speak 99% like them

Even within Peninsular Malaysia it's different la.
I guess it depends on which cities the diaspora originated. Back in the old days, Chinese migrants to South East Asia tended to congregate in places they could find people from their home town.
North Peninsular Malaysia had a lot of people from Zhangzhou, compared to southern and central Peninsular Malaysia where there were more from Quanzhou and Amoy.

For example, egg in Penang hokkien is "nui", but southern Malaysian hokkien it's "n'eng" or something liddat.

I'm not so sure what Sarawak Hokkien is like but likely it should be similar to either one of the two major varieties above.

no wonder la i learn simple hokkien from youtube & aunty at my company mini shop (she's hokkien) say a bit different from them laugh.gif laugh.gif

the worst one is those translated from malay, other canto ppl wont even know the meaning

suma - semua
pannai - pandai
mata - mata-mata (polis)
mataliu - polis station
sotong - sotong


whereas those derived from other chinese dialects still ok

lok yu - lok sui (from hakka)
chin/man - lui (from hakka)
po lo - wong lai (from hokkien)
wan - liu (from hakka)
