Pencalang

Pencalang is a word used in the Malay language to describe people who do bad things to others. These people intentionally cause harm to other people or cause trouble.

Imagine you're playing with your friends nicely in the playground. Suddenly, someone comes along and starts pulling your hair, pushing you or taking your toys away without asking. This someone is a pencalang because they are doing something bad to you.

Pencalang can be bullies who pick on others, thieves who steal things, or people who spread lies or gossip. It's important to know that being a pencalang is not good and can hurt other people. So, it's always best to be kind and treat others the way you would like to be treated, just like what you were taught in school.
