**Recently, however, Mr Sa’at was called a “kuching kurab” by a disgruntled netizen.**

The netizen had written, “You’re a ‘kuching kurab’. As a senior, I respect other artist but not you. Why don’t you balik ke negri Malaysia (go back to Malaysia). You show no respect to my country.”

Mr Sa’at, who wrote about the exchange with the netizen as a separate post on his wall, ended up graciously giving the netizen a Malay lesson.

He wrote, “Hi ____, thanks for your comments. ‘Kurab’ is spelt ‘kurap’, and ‘kuching’ has been spelt ‘kucing’ ever since the spelling reforms of 1972. But I appreciate your effort to try insulting a Malay person in his mother tongue!”
