Weird In Malaysia

Sleazy Headline Alert!!!

2009-08-30T11:30:00.003+08:00

Yes, I know it's bulan puasa and all, but how can I ignore something like this?

...

Wonder if the authorities will be raiding the mag's office anytime soon... Tak kot.

I've Been Screwed By Malta!

2009-08-01T16:32:00.003+08:00

So I was at Jusco buying some groceries when I got a rude shock at the drinks aisle...
...

...

This isotonic non-alcoholic drink that I've been drinking for more than 15 years is now 'Tidak Ditanggung Halal"! What the hell?

The same sign can be seen plastered near other Malta drinks as well. What about all the ads in the MALAY papers promoting them as minuman seisi keluarga? And I can remember they were giving these out at the Youth '09 event, and EVERYONE was consuming it.

So what do we do now? I'm calling the Malay Mail Hotline on Monday for sure...

Malaysia's Stupid Criminals: Steal Panties, Get The Girl?

2009-04-25T08:30:00.002+08:00

This happened a couple of weeks ago, actually. This sucker in KK was sentenced to 25 months in jail for stealing women’s panties at two different houses. At the first break-in, he stole 25 pieces of panties worth RM80 and at the second, he nicked 29 pieces worth RM100. Apparently he planned to re-sell them at flea markets.

The dude is simply stupid. In the first place, the panties weren’t of good brands cos we know that a single piece of LaSenza underwear would at least cost RM50, so 34 for RM180 means it must have been “Cap Bunga” or something.

...

But here’s the clincher: the dude actually left his phone number at the second house!

Yup, apparently someone told him it’s a legitimate wooing technique to break into a woman’s house and steal her underwear. Score!

Yeah, he scored prison time alright…

KERAS. KASAR. PANJANG.

Guess we didn't know what we've been missing all this while, huh?

Cool And FUNNY Stuff I Found At a Japanese Store in the Curve

2009-03-08T20:37:00.008+08:00

So, if you haven’t heard yet, there’s this cool discount store at the Curve called Daiso that sells all things Japanese. Everything here is sold at the wonderful price of RM5, and I do mean EVERYTHING. And they’ve got a whole lot of stuff as well; from underwear to stationeries to household items…

...

It can be quite an amusing experience shopping here, mainly ‘cos the labels are all in Japanese and there’s quite a number of things that you’d have to stare hard at the pictures to figure out what they’re for.

Anyway, I picked up a few things for myself and my, um, pets. One of which is this thing called PET SHEET.

But if you think the name is already funny, imagine the laugh I had when I read the “directions” at the back of the pack.

In case it’s not too clear for you to read, let me type it out here:

* Please put feces in order to the rest room.
* Please round small to adjust a dirty part of the inside, and so as not to become insanitary and process the sheet of the remainder.
* Please do not throw away the sheet to the rest room.
* About processing, please obey a local rule to live.

Card Carrying Criminals... You Better Believe It!

2009-01-30T18:22:00.001+08:00

I was watching 999 on TV3 last night and as usual it had the obligatory Mat Rempit-getting-busted scene.

Anyway, one 20-something Rempit was caught after he “rempuh-ed” the police blockade. And it was also discovered that the dude was actually a member of the notorious gang called “APACHEE”.

And how did the police know this? ‘Cos – get this – he had an APACHEE membership card with him.

Call me naïve, but as far as I know, criminals and gang members usually don’t want to be found out so easily. Imagine the mafia handing out cards to its members…

I can imagine what’s gonna happen in court already:

Judge: So what evidence do you have to prove the guy’s a gang member?
Prosecutor: Well your honour, he, um, has a card….

Ha ha!

If you don’t believe me, watch it yourself at this link:

But I do wonder what sort of privileges the APACHEE card would entitle the member? Cheap “minyak motor”? Discounts on bohsia? Yeah, probably lah…

Bang, Vodka Special Satu!

2009-01-07T08:21:00.002+08:00

So this piece of news came out yesterday in Star Metro. The Finlandia vodka Cup Malaysia 2008 was held recently to find the cream of the bartending crop.

It was a closed (and close) competition apparently and the contestants were required to prepare an aperitif, a long drink and the Quick Mix.

And the winners were:

1.Abdumubin Ismail (RM2,000 cash, trophy, will represent Malaysia at the 11th International Finlandia Vodka Cup in Lapland, Finland)
2.Chong Yi Shawn
3.Rizal Junior

Ain’t saying anything more, but I’m pretty sure some people in this Hadhari land would find the whole thing rather weird, no?

Mummy, Can I Have Some Marijuana?

2008-10-28T00:56:00.004+08:00

So a couple of days ago, I spotted this kid (who couldn't have been older than 10 years old) sitting by the roadside wearing this t-shirt...

Incredible huh? Question now is... who's to blame? Some parents DO need to be shot!

The Great Malaysian Car (Identity) Crisis...

2008-10-11T23:46:00.006+08:00

More than anywhere else in the world, cars in Malaysia generally suffer from severe identity crisis. Look around; at least 8 out of 10 cars on Malaysian roads don’t really know what they’re supposed to be anymore. Kancils want to be Daihatsus and Wajas want to be Mitsubishis.

Of course you have to blame their owners who must seriously believe that by adding extra ampaian baju disguised as spoilers, and putting up WEST stickers, people would suddenly think they’re driving a McLaren instead of a Wira?

I mean, would I be Brad Pitt by just dying my hair blonde? I would at least have to make a few hundred million at the US box office and sleep with Angelina Jolie a little bit before I could even think about asking people to call me Brad, right? Sheesh…

Just A Couple More Typically Malaysian Signs

Does This Look Dirty To You?

2008-08-29T00:14:00.001+08:00

Saw this at a fast food joint. So what are you thinking now? Be honest. Chicken drumstick. Or something else?

It's Raya Already?

2008-08-28T00:11:00.002+08:00

Went to One Utama today and they've already started playing Raya songs. FIVE FULL DAYS BEFORE Ramadhan even starts! Might as well throw in JINGLE BELLS for good measure...

Everybody Loves Siti?

2008-08-17T15:23:00.003+08:00

Well, apparently not...

Say What?

2008-08-06T22:59:00.002+08:00

NGOs are a pretty creative lot, especially when it comes to naming themselves. And we've been quite entertained by the various abbreviations like Bersih, Jerit and Protes.

But we're not too sure about this latest one called Kumpulan Penyokong dan Pengasuh Profesional Islam, and also known as......... PISANG!

Think we're making this up? Click here then.

WARNING: Don't Use The Phone Too Much...

The Beard Trimming Dude

2008-07-19T00:50:00.002+08:00

So I was in the loo at KL Convention Centre when I saw this guy trimming his beard...

Yes, the dude was trimming his beard in a public toilet. With a pair of scissors. Then again, probably he had a date and no time to shave...
