Selamat Hari Jadi
Many Malaysian goodwill greetings begin with the Malay word "Selamat" which usually takes on the meaning of "wishing you a safe...", and corresponds to the English word "good" as used in "Good Morning" or "Good Day".

Selamat Pagi: Good Morning
Selamat Petang: Good Afternoon/Evening
Selamat Malam: Good Evening/Night
Selamat Tinggal or Selamat Jalan: Have a good trip or Goodbye
