idiom examples

[William Davies]

I have consulted a number of references but have been unable to locate any
examples of subject-oriented idioms in Bahasa Indonesia or Malay.  I have
in mind idioms in English such as "the cat is out of the bag", "the fur
will fly", and so on.  If anyone could provide me with a few examples of
such idioms from Indonesian or Malay, I would be most grateful.  Thanks in
advance.
