Go and complain at the police-station— Pergi-lah mengadu di-balei (or rumah pasong).
He has been arrested— Dia sudah kĕna tangkap.
He has been locked up— Dia sudah kĕna tutop.
What is his offence?— Apa ka-salah-an-nia?
What do they charge him with?— Apa di-tudoh-kan di-atas-nia?
For how many days has he been detained?— Sudah bĕr-apa, hari dia kĕna tahan?
This is not his first offence— Bukan sa-kali ini sahaja yang dia buat jahat.
Do you know him?— Tuan kenal-kah dia?
No, I see him now for the first time— Tidak, baharu sa-kali ini sahaya me-lihat.
People say that he is a great opium-smoker— Kata orang dia kuat makan chandu.
