Explanation:
This term is most probably not a written word, but verbal.

I would think this word is not a proper Malay word. It sounds like the word "semua", which means "all". As the way some Malaysian pronounce the word "semua" does sound more like "sumua", especially Malaysian Chinese (older generation particularly).
