    i think from the details that you have given,it means "lame". It's basically street slang used by malaysian youth. It is not an offensive word when used in that context.

    You dont have to worry a thing there.

    Source(s): i have relatives in malaysia,and kinda up-to-date with almost all the slang used there.

    1. A liar, or faker.

    2. Someone lame/pathetic.

    oops it is vulgar
