I always get the following SMS or note/messages:

Appointment tu dah ‘conform’. (Instead of confirmed)

Another one is makna ‘dateline’ and ‘deadline’ yang tak tepat.

Well, have we been cutting women daily in this country?

And can we now leave home without locking the door as someone will help us to lock the door – ‘tukang kunci’?
