Samy Vellu was visiting India when he fell and broke his jaw. He was unable to speak. Being the great leader, he continued his grand tour. On the last week of his visit, although still 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 looked to the old man for an explanation. Mahathir reasoned, "AYAM KAMBING BAG." ("I am coming back" in Indian accent).
What a great intuition! It takes an Indian to understand an Indian, adapted from the book ‘INTERLOK PARIAH’
