approaching a person in malay

I am a person with street level malay fluency. however I am unable to understand some nuanced malay phrases. Once this person said some offensive things about me in chinese and I confronted her for that. Then she proceeded to ask me in malay as a friendly gesture to clear up/forget misunderstandings and be friendly. So since I am not familiar with regional phrases and the person was of chinese heritage and I wasnt able to catch her accent. So how would you approach a person in malay given this context. I do have a couple of malay friends but none of them are able to point it out. please help me out in this. maybe like a sample phrase. i already have some command and none of it was like an apology/sorry for the misunderstanding/hey dont worry/so forget about it. talk about something else etc.
