What is the meaning of 'tokok' in Malaysian Malay?

Lately this word 'tokok' shows up in the Malaysian Maly subtitle on tv frequently. I googled, and could not find a satisfying answer.

Then I saw this youtube channel, labelled Namewee Tokok. Never mind what this channel is about, I wanted to find out the meaning of 'tokok', and really regretted that I clicked one of its videos. What a waste of time.

So 'tokok' is definitely a real word in Malaysian Malay, anyone know the meaning of it? and the usage?
