For the one who's a little more Western than local.
English? Confirm.
Western accent? Maybe.
Can handle local food? Depends on the level of chilli. 🌶️
Speak dialect or mother tongue? Errr… can understand a bit?
The Officially You Award – Jiak Gantang is a fun 75mm medal-style magnet for that proudly Westernised soul who somehow ended up being more comfortable with English, Western culture and everything ang moh than the local way of life.
In Singapore and Malaysia, “Jiak Gantang” is a cheeky Singlish expression often used to describe someone who is seen as overly Westernised or a little disconnected from their local roots.
Know someone who orders the Western set, speaks with a Western accent and suddenly forgets how to speak their own mother tongue?
Yep. This one's for them. 😆
And because every Jiak Gantang deserves official recognition, the backing card lets you write the recipient's name under:
“This Award Goes To: ____________”
Gift it to your friend, sibling, colleague or that one person who is very local by birth, but somehow very ang moh by lifestyle.
Stick it on a fridge, desk, office board or anywhere they can proudly display their new title.
Local roots. Western vibes. Officially Jiak Gantang.
