1. Jakun
Jakun is the name of one of the oldest ethnic groups in Malaysia a.k.a orang asli, hence describing people as "jakun" when one is dumbfounded by something is downgrading their intellectuality as a society

2. Indon
Commonly used by Malaysians to call Indonesian people, this term is downgrading bc it is commonly used in fashion of Indonesian immigrants in our country, sometimes insulting or used to show "superiority" before them bc they are immigrants

3. Keling
A slur to call someone of an Indian race or describing someone who/something that has negative stereotypes of the Indian race, such as putar belit in speech or moving one's head when talking. This is just rude and insensitive, please stop.

4. Sakai
Another tribal community but this time traditionally living in Sumatera, also known as orang rimba. Same reasoning as Jakun, using it to describe someone's action or trait as uncivilized means you are downgrading their intellectuality as a society. Dont. Do it.

5. Bangla
