[QUOTE]PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa has been mocked by Malaysians on social media after she used the word "babi" to refer to her father.

However, the word "babi" in Albanian, where her parents are from, actually means "father".

Lipa posted a birthday message to her father on Instagram with the caption, "Happy Birthday babi, I wish I was home to give you a big hug and kiss."
However, the 23-year-old changed the caption on her Instagram post to "Happy Birthday dad", after being mocked over the use of "babi" which means pig in Bahasa Malaysia.

Other Malaysians came to the defence of Dua Lipa, urging her not to change the way she addressed her father.

What absolute cunts

This is like people from the US mobbing someone from Spain for using the word negro while speaking Spanish. Why the hell should they care when she's from the UK and her parents are Albanian?

well maybe it could be a way of saying "i'll never eat you"

Lol, wasn't sure at first but then read "[B]"babi" which means pig in Bahasa Malaysi[/B]" and then totally understood it, that would be quite funny at the first hearing but after that you think people would just get over it and stop being so childish but then, I don't expect high standards from Malaysia or Malaysians.
