(This joke, which came by email, hits home a most pertinent message about Malaysian nation-building.)
Ahmad: Hey son, who were you talking to ?
Son: My fairy godmother.
Ahmad: How many times have I told you there is no such thing as a fairy godmother ?
Ahmad: How many times have I told you there is no such thing as a fairy godmother ?
Son: I know but there really is a fairy godmother, Dad.
Ahmad: Okay, call her here now. I would like to talk to her.
Son: But she won't come Dad. She said she doesn't want to meet you.
Ahmad: Did she tell you why?
Ahmad: Did she tell you why?
Son: She said that you are a bad man.You betray your Chinese friends by calling them Pendatangs.
Ahmad: You saw that news on TV, didn't you ?
Son: No, I didn't, the fairy godmother told me.
Ahmad: Well, your fairy godmother is wrong.She should thank me for calling the Chinese Pendatangs.
Son: Why Dad ?
Ahmad: You see son, the Chinese are actually bad people.They come from another country and they want to chase us out of this country.
Son: Why do they want to do that Dad?
Ahmad: Because they are greedy.Now, you tell your fairy godmother that your Dad is right by doing what he did. Can your fairy godmother grant you wishes ?
Son: Yes Dad, she told me so. She even asked me to make a wish but I didn't know what to ask for.
Ahmad: Because they are greedy.Now, you tell your fairy godmother that your Dad is right by doing what he did. Can your fairy godmother grant you wishes ?
Son: Yes Dad, she told me so. She even asked me to make a wish but I didn't know what to ask for.
Ahmad: Well, ask your fairy godmother to make all these Pendatangs to disappear and go back to their grandparents country of origin. Okay son, time for bed. No more talking to make belief fairy godmothers ,okay. Good night son.
Son: Good night Dad.
Son: Good night Dad.
*15 minutes later*
Ahmad: SON, SON, where are you ? Where are you ? Huh, there you are. I am so worried, I thought I'd never find you.
Son: Dad, where are we….. India ? Why are we here ? I was talking to my fairy godmother on your wish and suddenly we are herein a strange place.
Ahmad: Err, what were you talking to the fairy godmother ?
Son: *I told her, I wish all the Pendatangs would be sent back to where they came from*.* Is that Tun Dr Mahathir s/o Iskandar Kutty and **Uncle Samy there selling roti ???? Dad, is this India ??? Badawi in China …. Najib in Acheh rebuilding the home….. **Khir Toyo busy tending his farm in Indonesia …. Syed Albar and the rest of Arab SYED's clan riding his camel in Yemen s Arab desert.*
*** Indonesia population increases by 18 million while Malaysia population* shrunk to 10 million in 15 minutes !!!
Those descendants with more than 3 generation remained in Malaysia .
180 years….. 6 generations : Tun Tan Cheng Lock’s descendants.
Meanwhile, if the wish factored-in proportionate heritage, I'm sure my limbs would probably be torn apart and end up scattered in different places since I'm kinda "rojak", tho' still significantly more in China. Wakakaka ^_^

I think all of us are pendatang. We all have our origin of history such as Parameswara from Sumatra. The Chinese during the Ming Dynasty. And so forth.
The truly native people here are the orang asli. Their history predated much more earlier than us. Most popular evidence will be at Lembah Bujang.
LOL.. It was funny! It is true that much crap has been hurled at others. Where can I find this fairy God Mother? Now where did I come from?
aw... dont go on history-dickory-dock..
i dun care where our grandfathers come from, all i care is i am born here and that makes me malaysian, though sometimes i pretend i was a singaporeans especially in foreign countries hehehehehhe
I like this. Don't call us pendatang!
Everyone's mixed like rojak by now. Only wish the politicians would see it instead of spinning racism in their rhetoric.
Pikey ~ I used to remember the days where our Standard 5 history books used to reveal the origins of the Thais, Malays and Indons to be from Southern China, subsequently forced to move downwards by the new Dynasties.
Twilight ~ you came from the Twilight Zone. lolz
Takashi ~ Singaporean? Now, why wld you say that?
Jason ~ juz some idiots trying to gain political mileage. History has it that unknowns became leaders by playing the religious and racial cards.
Savante ~ yup, they take cheap potshots for their own selfish agendas.

Like it or not, the death knell for racial political parties is in the air. it is only a matter of time be a few years or a generation or more. for the simple reason no single race can forever run a country profitably by itself.
Willy ~ yup, but i think Hotel ISA doesn't allow visitors. :P
Isaish ~ these peeps create tension for their own personal agenda.
Ichimaru ~ waaaaa, so garang. :)
