This is a racial label for white people. It literally means “red hair” in Hokkien (a Chinese dialect). The word can be used as a noun: if you’re white you’ll be called an angmoh. Singaporeans might also use this word as an adjective. There are angmoh countries (USA, Britain, New Zealand, etc.), angmoh food, and angmoh movies.
