Singlish (Singaporean English) slang for a stupid or slow-witted person. Borrowed from Tamil, it is widely understood across Singapore's multilingual population and used freely in informal contexts — often playfully rather than with genuine malice. Part of the rich Singlish lexicon that blends English, Malay, Hokkien, and Tamil vocabulary into everyday speech.
'Aiyo, don't be such a goondu lah — just follow the instructions on the box.'
