The first time I came across examples of 'fai wah', it was on television, said by some HK actors. Examples were: a husband came home and the wife said, 'farn cho lei ah' or 'came back already'; someone eating, and another asked, 'seg karn farn ah?' or 'eating rice?' Got the drift?
Our local examples which came to mind:
Najib said '1Malaysia is not political but...' (but I am a politician?);
Umno leaders said 'All races are equal' (but we represent Malays and fight for Ketuanan Melayu?);
Nazri said 'Anwar lied, because Apco given 2 letters confirming they were not involved in 1Israel'
(Apco is more credible... because I said so?);
All those interviewed at grand buffets hosted by PM and other Ministers said they really like the food; and such gatherings are great ideas (free food mah, but paid for by poor taxpayers who had no say over them); and so on and so forth.
There are many more examples but I am in a hurry to set off for KL.
