While the world is experiencing globalization, we Malaysians are still quarreling over who should be described as 'Pendatang'... and Penang state government wants to control who can cook Penang 'char kuey tiau' or Penang 'Hokien mee'...
A definition of globalization that we can understand and to which we now can relate:
Princess Diana's death.
'An English Princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, riding in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by a Canadian, using American Bill Gates' technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian truck drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexicans who are in the US illegally because the current president, born in Kenya and educated as a Muslim in Indonesia, refuses to enforce US law.'
