—
Dr.Mahathir (Dr.M) was thinking about sending somebody into space.Three potential can-or-nauts were called for an interview - one Indian, one Malay and one Chinese.
Dr.M interviews the Indian first:
“So Amid, this is a dangerous mission. How much do you think you should be paid?”
Amid replied: “one million ringgit.”
“Why so much?” asks Dr.M.
“Very dangerous mission, Datuk. Maybe no come back!” replied Amid.
“That’s understandable, “ says Dr.M. “Thank you…please ask the Malay guy to come here.”
So the Malay walks up, and is asked the same question.
“Alamak!…2 million, Datuk,” replied the Malay candidate.
“Two million? That’s twice as much! Even the Aneh before you asked for only one million.” says Dr.M.
“You see, Datuk, I have 4 wives and 15 children…with 20 of us, it is a big family to support when I’m gone…!” explained the Malay.
“I see,” says Dr.M. “Okay, can you ask that Chinese guy to come then?”
The Chinese guy comes in and Dr.M. asks, “Ah Chong, given this is a very risky mission, how much do you want?”
Ah Chong thinks for a while, and says, “3 million.”
Mahathir appears shocked. “What??.. 3 million!! Why so much??..”
Ah Chong beckons Dr.M. to come closer. He quietly whispers into his ear, “Datuk, one million you keep, one million I keep, and then one more million to send that Aneh into spacelah!!.. ……”
Typically Malaysian. Look at the Chinese. Isn’t that the typical Chinese? Very business minded. Bribery, Scared to Die and Pay others to do the “dirty” work.
Stumble it!
