This song should bring back memories to my daughters.
For 12 years, between 1982 and 1994, I was working for my family in KL and my wife for hers in Batu Gajah.
As was common, or nature would have it, children (started with one, then two and then three) followed mummy and I had to do most of the travelling, almost every weekend: Saturday afternoon leaving KL (and my own mum) and Monday morning leaving BG (leaving family). When my daughters were still very young, my wife used to start work very early, leaving the house at 6.30 am, so the little girls used to wake up missing their daddy and mummy. I used to sing part of the song which I changed the lyrics to:
Where's your Mama gone? (Mang chong, as in Amang factory in Hakka)
Where's your Papa gone? (Kuala Lumpur)
Far, far away ...

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
Government fed by the people

Corruption so prevalent it affects English language?
