'selamat' means 'safe'. But different usage of the word 'selamat' can give different meanings such as 'selamat datang' which is saying 'welcome' to greet visitors.If you translate each of the word 'selamat datang',you will get 'safe coming' or 'safe arriving'.This is because we Malaysians expect visitors to come in safely.Other use of the word 'selamat' is when you say 'selamat pagi' which is 'good morning','selamat tengahari' which is 'good afternoon','selamat petang' which is 'good evening' and 'selamat malam' which is 'good night'.
