(It's only a joke you happy proton drivers) - 4 There is a party called the United Malays National Organisation, but then surely there are opposition Malay parties so surely that means the Malays are not united ? - 5 How come they one thing they surely don't grow in Holland is Durian Belanda ? seriously how come all the cheaper foods from condensed milk to tinned mackerel have palm oil on their list of ingredients ? |

KL's Super Talented Satirical Musician : Rafique Rashid : either cleverly or cos of censorship never produces any Albums & never appears on TV so look out for him live .. you might somebootleg tracks somewhere on the web. Not many musicians "take the piss out of politics and life in Malaysia", they usully think it's safer to stick to traditional music.
