That means (correct)
That's mean (wrong)
If one says “That’s mean you will go lah?”, would that sound right? If yes, then will “That is mean you will go lah?” sound right now? No matter how you look at it, it’s just so, wrong.
Direct translation: “Ia adalah kejam (mean=kejam) awak nak pergi lah?”
It’s been fossilised in their head to use “That’s/It’s mean” instead of “That/It means” that they are so confident of, even after repetitiously being told it’s not right.
Conclusion:
That’s mean ≠ That means
