Simply search UK FAQ.

Use 'caption' package (I assume that you use TL 2009 or other modern TeX
distribution, like MiKTeX 2.8), found in 'caption' package
documentation:
\captionsetup{figurename=Rajah}

While there is another way to accomplish your task (see UK FAQ) I
recommend use 'caption' package because it could solve many more your
problems which could arise in future.

Solution:
\addto\captionbahasam{%
  \renewcommand{\figurename}%
  {Rajah}%
}
