From A Stranger Vol. 2 (Malaysians Are Friendly)

Malaysians should be proud speaking Bahasa Melayu.

The setting took place in KL Sentral early this year, when i was eating Cachos outside the building while waiting for a friend.

I offered my Cachos to the Mat Saleh next to me. He refused.

Then I asked,
"Where are you going to?"

He replied slowly. It was not clear but I knew the sound was familiar.

"Pardon me?"

Again I can not hear him clearly.

"Huh?"

"Balik rumahlah!"

I was pretty sure he was a Mat Saleh, only with black hair.
