There is a lot of glare in the photos, which might hinder identification.
If you could re-post photos taken with different (lower) light level, it might help whoever steps in to help you.

Welcome to CCF!
I agree about the photos, also weight and diameter are very helpful for ID requests. Guidelines are available at https://en.numista.com/forum/topic71935.html

Thought I'd help a bit. Adjusted using MS Photo to reduce light:

Wow thanks for the help! I can't take the picture in any lower light condition as it is taken with my handphone.

So no one knows what it is?

Patience is a virtue. Give it some time and someone usually helps out. Also, as Seeker55 has already mentioned, you are more likely to get an answer if you post the diameter and weight.

The writing on it is Arabic, and it appears to be made of lead, tin or some similar base-metal. My best guess is that it is from pre-colonial Indonesia or Malaysia. Something like one of these, from the Sultanate of Acheh in north-west Sumatra.
