“Dalam rancangan Eksotika Malaysia keluaran Astro misalnya, sudah dua kali saya mendengar perkataan butuh atau membutuhkan digunakan untuk membawa maksud 'memerlukan' seperti yang digunakan di Indonesia, walhal di Malaysia ia sering digunakan untuk maksud 'alat kelamin lelaki'.”

In the Exotic Malaysia television program produced by Astro for example, I have twice heard the word "butuh" or "membutuhkan" used for the meaning 'to need' as used in Indonesia, whereas in Malaysia the term is often used for the meaning 'male genitalia'.
