you know in singapore you ever heard the term "pass motion" which means to have a bowel movement. If you are a sinkie you would have heard of this before. Yet i have never heard any american/ british person calling pang sai as pass motion only in singapore.

You are right, pass motion is widely used in govt hospital. Pte hospital seldom use this term.
Normally I tell Ang Mo I going to make cake, they will understand more than pass motion

But is pass motion a legitimate term?

 

[frenchbriefs]

i think it has roots in british colonial history,to pass a motion is to have a bill or legislative law voted on and passed in parliament.obviously this refers to the shit that were passed in parliament.

usually used in india, malaysia, and singapore. in the u.s., it's "bowel movement" or "defecation" or "shit". in the uk, it's a parliamentary term for legislative approval. the exact phrase is "motion to pass on".

so how did it become pang sai in mudland, sinkland and shitland? Since in the UK it involves parliament.

my guess is that the phrase was used politely in the british colonies by doctors and nurses to substitute for "excrete bodily wastes" or "defecate". for example, doctors and nurses would not ask "did you fuck last night?" they would be more indirect, verbose and "polite" over a hundred years ago. they would most likely phrase the question with "did you end up in bed with your partner last night?" same logic with shit. :p

(In Singapore Parliament)

Tin Pei Ling (standing up): Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the motion.

At the same time, LKY gets up and walks out of the chamber to pass motion.

TPL (very discreetly under her breath): %^!%#^%&!@%&@^%@!%%!@!@ CCB!

you're absolutely spot on that he excused himself to pass motion. and judging from tpl's ccb face, i doubt he pcc'ed in the toilet. but if sun ho were there, it would have been the whole male-dominated chamber excusing themselves and doing their thang. :o
