Lipak is a familiar word if you are a young man who is living or studying around Kelantan or Terengganu. It is broadly used by young native speakers to describe what they feel about their unreliable friends. The exact meaning of this word is ‘cheating’. It’s not like the cheater doesn’t tell the truth, but when we hope or rely on someone that we have been assuming him as a good friend all these while and he ends it up with letting you down. Let’s just say he doesn’t grant your wish and fulfil the promises.
This peculiar word primarily uttered with another word, saing/friend that stands in the same group which these words have always been spoken to prescribe friendship. Thus, when we put these words together, it would become saing lipak saing which means a friend who has broken his promise. I would love to share a situation which i suppose might be helping you to comprehend the usage of this word, lipak
Situation 1:
One day Useng and Aghu went to Demong restaurant to have a tasteful dinner, chicken chop. These boys were having a great night together like their friendship would last forever. Together, they would have nice soft chicken chests, mango juices, and share the same prize for the dinner that night. Oh, not forgotten to mention that they went there by Aghu’s motorcycle. So, generally speaking, they are like a close mate that closely acquainted.
After they had finished the ceremony, they had found that the motorcycle back tyre was flat. The night was getting darker. No need to mention about workshop because there was no workshop open at night in Besut area. Thus, take it or leave it, Aghu had to pull the motorcycle all the way to their rent house as it was not that far from the restaurant. Accompanied by Useng, Aghu really hoped his friend could help him in this situation.
Quarter way they have gone through, Useng didn’t give any sign of helping yet. He was just sometimes speaking alone. One of his words were, “bahayo kalu lalu sinning ssoghe male-male nih, oghe ssining buke buleh wak kigho.” / “it is quite dangerous to walk alone through this path at night, we cannot take those villagers for granted” The speech that Useng just said made Aghu a little bit relieve because he was assuming that Useng would not leave him alone in this situation albeit so far, Useng had not helped him anything yet. He just nodded saying yes. For Aghu, Useng’s companion was enough
About ten minutes later. A white Myvi car belonged to Pok Nggal one of their friend passed by. Pok Nggal saw them walking with the motorcycle by their side. Pok Nggal stopped by to question what was happening. Aghu told him everything from A to Z, one to ten, Aliph to ya. Pok Nggal nodded to show his concern even though it could not be seen as there was no light. It was just a dim lamp that shined from up above the post. “Kalu muto mung muak blake bonek, buleh la bubuh, hmmm dok tau la nok tulong ggano”,/ “ If your motorcycle can be loaded into my car bonnet, surely i can bring it home safely, ..hmmm i wish i could help you” said pok Nggal in his Terengganuan kelantanese accent. He was originally from Baru Rakit, in kuala Terengganu district, so he hardly could speak in kelatanese slang.
Meanwhile Useng, without any sound, pulled the car back door’s knock and casually got into the car. He closed the door. Aghu was speechless to see what was happening. Useng was just looking at the front screen without any feeling. The car started to move slowly as Pok Nggal softly kicked the paddle forward. The car was leaving Aghu and his beloved unroofed motorcycle.off they went. With the ruthless face, Useng turned his head toward Aghu smiling. Again, the speechless Aghu looked at him and gave the ‘unbelievable’ response.
Alone in the dark, Aghu could not leave the bike alone. The situation got worsened. Continuing to pull his motorcycle, the words uttered by Useng ten minutes ago was still in his mind and could not easily be demolished. "AAArrrggghhhh...!!! saing lipakk saingg!!!!". He exclaimed!
