More of the interesting foreign examination answers...
based on the terminology used during the sixties, these answers are known locally as 'waffling'- when you have no idea, yet need to write an answer to appear having answered all the questions. Someone commented that our Form 5 questions are in objective formats, so we don't get these funny answers when they 'tembak' (or shoot in Malay) instead: We might think our country is already well known having gained Independence in 1957. I can still remember years ago, an English nurse asked if I come from Kuala Lumpur Blanca (as in Una Paloma Blanca)! Link
