What is an AMDK? (Definition + Explanation)

AMDK Definition

In Singapore, AMDK stands for 'Ang Mo Dua Kee'. This means 'white people big shot' (or more crudely: 'white people big stick') in Hokkien. It's a mocking reference to the perceived superiority of Caucasian men in Singapore and Pinkerton Syndrome.

The AMDK's female counterpart is the AMDL, meaning in Singapore 'Ang Mo Dua Liap' - 'white people big breasts'.

On websites and internet forums like Reddit and EDMW (EDMW meaning hardwarezone.com.sg's Eat-Drink-Man-Woman subforum), AMDK is often cynically compared against the Sinkie - meaning his  Singaporean counterpart - for humorous effect.

The Sinkie also stereotypically engages in crab mentality behaviour, dubbed 'Sinkie Pwn Sinkie'.
