A lot Malay words steal from Penang hokkien then say it the other way round

Stone 石頭 = bak thau

tuala = 托拉

Nyonya is 娘仔 which is pronounced niao-a which means single unmarried woman.

kacau = 攪擾 (kiáu-jiáu)

pua tang = 半唐 which means hokkien that mix with other tribes

Even the word Penang Pinang is stolen, 檳榔 = pnn nng

This history will be revealed to the world in near future.

nyonya is borrowed from Nona (portuguese)
