Walao Eh~~~

Walao Eh~~~ Why like that?

Walao Eh~~~ The number of people committed suicide is more than the COVID-19 deaths in Malaysia. 

'Walao Eh' is a Malaysian/Singaporean slang meaning OMG and used to describe the feeling of surprise or disbelief. Many Chinese Malaysian learned and popularise this word without knowing the original meaning of it. I've first heard of it only 10 years ago and i belief it is a word learned from Singlish users. 

"Walao Eh" is originated from a Hokkien word "my old folks" or 我老的. 

Walao Eh~~~ Even my Hokkien speaking mother do not understand the meaning of 'Walao Eh'.
