Wa. Ok let's come n share some colloquail Malay that i think of at the moment:
â–º Memalukan diri , → colloquially can express as "Chontengkan arang di mungka" oso
as in "chontengkan arang di mungka bapak-mak dia" → make one's parents embarassed

One more confirmation that your mum has "churik" wholesale this phrase from Teochew rather than the assumption that she has preserved the original phrase from her native Hokkien.
- If I presume your Mom is TangWa Hokkien like you, then there couldn't be "Ir" sounds and "Zir" sounds appearing in TangWa Hokkien.
- These kind of "Ir" and "Zir" sounds only exist in all varieties of Teochew (except Haihong-Lokhong areas) and only in the Hokkien varieties of Chuan-chew, An-kh'uei, Eng-Choon, Lam-Wa, Hooi-Wa, Quemoy and the Chiang-Chew variety of Cheow-An.
- "Ir" and "Zir" sounds does not exist in Hokkien varieties of Amoy, TangWa, Chin-Kang, and all varieties of Chiang-Chew except Cheow-An.
Sigh! What to do ! It is a multi culture, multi racial country here, inevitable to "borrow" other dialect or language's words. I used to think pasar is Chinese until I realised it is a Malay word. The educator has translated pasar literally to Chinese for teaching and usage.
Someone from Sg went to Hong Kong spoke Cantonese and included the word "mattar" which we understand is police. The HK people looked at her and asked what is the meaning, it was only then she realised that is not a Cantonese word. How embarassing!
