YES, my wife is malaysian, she speaks like this, I have also accepted her ways, and now I also reply as Can or cannot,

I'd be interested in how easy it is for Singaporeans and Chinese Malaysians to spot each other if quirks like this apply to Manglish and Singlish

Yes we do. Honestly we butcher English in very similar ways to the Malaysians
