Colleague: "Does anyone knows what's 'sabun(soap)' in hokkien?" (Silence) Colleague: "My husband's friend already asked the whole Penang and Butterworth. Nobody knows."
Back in office, and TY does some research online.
Source 1: Sabun is a word used in both China and Taiwan. It is a vocabulary in Hokkien. I believe a few generations back some people said Tee Khoo (phonetically Tee as in tea, Khoo as in dollar – most people might spell as Teh Khor). But today, Sabun is indeed an understood word across all Hokkien speaking regions, I would say.
Source 2 : Douglas’ dictionary (1873) shows sabun was used even then. In the old days there were various different types of soap: pui-tso was a kind of black soap (皂 means black), but there were also i-tso, tso-kiap, peh-ih, etc. Te-khơ was made from the husks of camellia seeds; uiN-bak-chi and ba-bui were different fruits that were used as soap.
Source 3: Sabun = savon (french) = savon (spanish) = sabun (hokkien) It is only the english use soap!!!
Source 4: In Taiwan, you can say "satbun" for soap. "Satbun" is not a Minnan word and came from one of the indigenous Taiwanese languages in the mountains maybe Ami or Tsou or Paiwan.

"The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has acquired 25 units of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (with manual transmission) which will be used alongside the Proton Wajas and Iswaras as patrolcars. The purchase was rumoured for some time but the PDRM did not officially comment on it and it was thought that the cars might be used for undercover purposes."
