It is a "word" or just an exclamation that Sabahans commonly use to say "Shoo!".
Specifically to a dog.
That's all there is.
Oh, and another variant:
-Sika po!

A very Sabahan word.
It is similar to "Ok".
It's so common in Sabah.
And it works just like the word "Ok".
Sometimes, people use "Ok" and "Bah" together.
Which just makes your "Confirmation" sound more emphasised.

Commonly used as a curse-word.
It's a word from SEA (South-East Asia).
Somehow, it could mean "bad luck" or something along the lines of "hardship".
But commonly used like when you say "Shit!".
(But it doesn't mean "Poo")
It may also be used to address someone rudely.
(Which you could translate to "Shithead")
Other variants of this are:
-"Sialan" (Another way to say "Sial")
-"Be(r)sialan" (Meaning: Being a shit or shithead)
