buli

In Sabah, it is the other way to say "Boleh" in Malay.

It is an affirmative word meaning:
- Can
- Yes, can.
- Yes, you/they/... can.

(You get the point)

Buli bah.

(Meaning: Yes, can)

2 kali 5

In English, it is translated to "2 times 5". (Which sounds like a math equation)

But the meaning is to say that someone or a group of people that they're basically doing the same thing as someone else.
Usually a bad thing.

It could mean: "They're all just the same."

Here's how you use this:

In Malay:
A: 2 kali 5 ja durang ni.
A: Janganlah kamu cakap-cakap lagi- sia tau kamurang semua salah juga ni.

In English (for the sake of translation):
A: They're all just the same. (2 kali 5)
A: No need to say more- I know you're all in the wrong.
