(Singapore, Malaysia, colloquial, vulgar) A term of abuse: a bastard, a contemptible person.
In Singaporean and Malaysian slang, lembek means soft, weak, or spineless — basically calling someone a wimp or a sissy. It's borrowed from Malay, where it literally means soft or mushy in texture, but in everyday usage it's aimed at someone who lacks backbone, gives up too easily, or can't handle pressure. Coaches, teammates, and parents might throw it out as a motivational jab. It can sting depending on tone, but in casual banter it's often just competitive trash talk.
