kroni
n.— «This does not explain why the government itself introduced new words like Bajet, for “Budget,” into the Malay language, when the word Belanjawan was once commonly used. And thanks to political developments in the region, a host of other borrowed words like kroni (crony), nepotisme (nepotism) and even konsentrasi (concentration) have also been introduced.» —“Uproar over rojak Malay” by Leslie Lau Straits Times (Singapore) May 4, 2004.
