For those foreigners and other Malaysians who do not understand certain Chinese beliefs, the above joke is on those who believe in burning 'ang kon hu' to protect them from bad luck, bad spirits, etc. Direct translation from Hokien: 'diety's divine protection' (for want of a better description) . 'Popi computer mai hang' means 'bless the computer won't hang'; 'mai tiuk virus' means 'don't want to catch virus' and 'always peng an' means 'always safe'.
Then, of course, we cannot get away from the sexual thought, can we?:
How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
