Political Frogs (Katak)
If you know what's a frog, it can hop anywhere as it likes. This became a pejorative term in Malaysia after the 12th General Election in 2008, when Anwar Ibrahim suggested the 16 September Coup which involved MPs from Barisan Nasional to "hop" towards Pakatan Rakyat. Since then, party-hopping became a norm when Perak political crisis began, followed by several until in the 14th General Election in 2018, MPs especially Barisan Nasional MPs began hopping towards either Pakatan Harapan or Warisan (in Sabah) in order to gain benefits as the government MP (as opposition MPs often get less allocations) and also to evade court cases (like Paul Yong who allegedly raped his maid; he hopped to Perikatan Nasional). Right till 2021, The Melaka State Election began due to political frogs who hopped to Pakatan Harapan with the exception of one independent MLA. This triggered anger among citizens towards party-hoppers, as Anwar claimed that they are "Frogs with Principles" instead of "Traitorous Frogs" if they hopped to parties other than PH. This caused a fatal blow to PH when Barisan Nasional won a supermajority in Melaka, winning 21 over 28 seats. This situation became complicate when the MUDA party accepted "political tadpoles" who swam from PKR to PPBM and finally to MUDA right before the 2022 Johor State Elections.

Dumbf*cks (Mangkuk)
The term is initially refer to stupid persons, but due to the connection between bowls (mangkuk) and the kitchen cabinets, therefore the term "mangkuk" became a perjorative term politically to refer ministers in the Cabinet who are totally a joke, for instance Rina "Doraemon" Harun who made stunts (i.e. washing drains filled with "bird and lizard poo") just for publicity.

Useless (Waknat)
This term is an urban term that is usually used among Klang Valley youths, which means "useless". This is an alternative spelling of the term "laknat" (lit. cursed). The term gained popularity when one of the MPs in the Dewan Rakyat said: "Menteri ni betul-betul waknat betullah menteri ni!" (That minister is a total waknat!). Since then, left-wingers started adopting the term #KerajaanWaknat (another variant of the #KerajaanGagal, lit. "Failed Government") to show disatisifaction towards the government, especially Mahiaddin Yassin's government.

Backdoor (Pintu Belakang)
This term refers to politicians who attempted to gain power via "backdoor means", i.e. appointed as minister or being part of the government. This applies to members of the Parliament who received minister job as a senator (member of the Dewan Negara).

Bossku (Lit. My Boss)
Originated from a Sabahan market slang, The term was then used by Peninsular Malaysian to refer themselves, especially among the Mat Rempit (Motorcyclists) subculture. This term was then gone viral in early 2019 in social media when it was associated with the former prime minister of Malaysia Najib Razak.

Kiasi, Kiasu
Hokkien terms (怕死 - Kiasi) and (怕輸 - Kiasu) which means afraid of dying and afraid of losing respectively. Currently used in Malaysia and Singapore, this term was late used by Ridhuan Tee Abdullah, former MCA member and professor critical of the Chinese Malaysian attitudes to refer most Chinese Malaysians a.k.a. the 95% gang. According to him, Kiasu Malaysian Chinese are ethnic-centric groups who refuse to acknowledge national identity in Malaysia, apart form allegedly Islamophobic.

Meleis
This term was often use by leftists to call Malays, especially suburban and rural Malays for their lack of progressiveness, which is similar to the "Redneck" term in USA. Please take note that this term can also be considered as a racial slur towards Malays if not properly used.

Bangsar Bubble
Similar to the term "Liberal Elite", these referred to the urban Malay groups who do not understand the views of the community as a whole, also Malaysian leftists have been using the phrase Bangsar Bubble to criticise liberals who lack class analysis. The “Bangsar Bubble” comprise of educated, well to do people living in Kuala Lumpur, especially the Bangsar residential suburb who have it easy compared to the majority of other Malaysians. So when it comes to left-wing issues such as "human" (((rights))), ABCDE+, international statutes, and government-linked company reforms, they are the first to rise up and make some noise similar to an NPC programming.

Raykat
A typo from the term "Rakyat" (the People). It was popularized by rightists (and some pro-CCP/anti-progressive Malaysian Chinese, they prefer to use the terms "Baizuo" (白左), "Zo Gaau" (左膠) or "Feiqing" (廢青) to refer Raykats instead) in Malaysia since the "pulangkan duit raykat" placard as a protest towards Najib Razak, hoisted by one of the members of the University of Malaya Association of New Youth (UMANY), a left-wing student activist movement based on universalism. Since then, this term has been used to refer cultural leftists, similar to the Bangsar Bubbles, but specifically to the Chinese Malaysians. Notable Raykats include R*bin Y*p, V*cks*n Ng, and the N*w St*dent M*vement Alli*nce. Also they are anti-CCP despite some of them were pro-socialist. As they knew Xi Jinping (and  Vladimir Putin) were culturally right especially on the ABCDE+ issue, so they do hate China (and Russia), and in return, they support Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

Note:
Another thing. If you're arguing with Bangsar Bubbles, Baizuos and  Raykats, it's totally wasting your valuable time. They will keep distorting and arguing with another thing just to justify their beliefs despite you used facts and logics to them. If you want to keep arguing with them, So keep going, But BEWARE! They're going to cancel you on social media, humiliate you via screenshotting the comment section/your profile or for some, they will seek legal action for "defamation". I recommended to stay away from them and DON'T talk to them!
