Well, as much as Scousers think that 'la' is a scouse word, it is also highly used in the Far East, for example Singaporeans and Malaysians. Its a typical singlish accent, in which I and many of my mates use, words like 'la', 'lor', 'leh', 'wah lao', etc all fall into this category.
They basically have no meaning, its just typical words Singaporeans use in their daily conversations. For a brief overview on what this la, lor, leh, walao is all about, just check Wikipedia would do.
