Ah Beng is a term commonly given to a certain group of young
Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and
Malaysia. These Chinese men, whose age ranging from their
early teens to late 20s, usually centralise in the busier and more
developed cities in the region. Ah bengs typically speak local
slang, which is Hokkien or Cantonese mixed with English and
Malay, such as Manglish or Singlish. They are often
stereotypically portrayed to be anti-intellectual, superficial
and materialistic and shallow. These values often lead to a lack
of culture or indulgence in criminal activity or being involved
in brawling or affray out of disagreement with other people.
