| what goes around comes around semua tindakan ada tindak/tindakan balas Explanation: ~ "what goes around comes around" is an idiomatic expression. ~ usually with such translations, you either come up with a corresponding malay idiom or you transliterate the sense. ~ an equivalent in malay idiom is probably "ada ubi, ada batas. ada budi ada balas." ~ however in this context, it would be more suitable to just transliterate the sense of "reciprocity" i.e. of "every action has a reaction. |
