Berhala Kuning 

Malay kings/sultans.

Berhala means idols (the act of bowing down to kings is associated with an act of worship).
Kuning means yellow (the royal colour).

The word 'Berhala Kuning' is often used as an insult to the royals because it implies that they are being worshipped by the people.

"I hate Berhala Kuning," said a guy from Borneo.

Berhala Kuning 

An insult to the royals, specifically the king. 'Berhala' means idol, and 'Kuning,' which translates to yellow, is the royal color of the royals.

A king sitting on his throne is viewed as an idol, while the act of bowing down to the king is seen as an act of worship.

In essence, 'Berhala Kuning' signifies a king sitting on his throne, doing nothing but amassing wealth, while the people are compelled to show them respect.

It's been four years, who's gonna be our next berhala kuning?
