Pakat is Singlish — Singapore's distinctive English creole — for conspiring, colluding, or scheming together. If you pakat with someone, you're coordinating behind the scenes, usually to get an advantage or pull something off that might not be entirely above board. It's used casually for everything from harmless coordination ('let's pakat and surprise her') to genuinely shady collusion. The word is common in everyday Singapore speech and pop culture.
Don't pretend you didn't pakat with your sister to make sure you got the bigger room — I know what you two are like.
