It takes an Indian to understand an Indian
Samy Vellu was visiting India when he fell and broke his jaw.
He was unable to speak. Being the great leader that he is, he
continued his grand tour.
On the last week of his visit, although unable to speak, Samy insisted
on sending a message home to his Cabinet colleagues. Samy caught a
chicken and showed it to the camera. Next he took a goat, and showed it to
the camera.
Finally he took a bag and displayed it in front of the camera.
Dr Ling was the first to see the video clip. He said, "Samy is
telling us that India has insufficient food because he showed us a
chicken and a goat and he wants Malaysia to donate bags of rice."
Mahathir watched silently then said,"No lah....what Samy is trying to
say is HE IS COMING BACK.
The whole Cabinet was puzzled and look to the old man for an
explanation. Mahathir reasoned, "AYAM KAMBING BAG." ("I am coming
back" in Indian accent).
