Ministerial pay in sinkie land is linked to remuneration given to CEO of MNC but similarity ends here. When the CEO is inefficient, he is fired but when a Minister cocks up, he is not removed. Think about that limpo, Selamat.

Since none of the Minister in boleh land is seen as MNC CEO material, how can the Ministerial pay in sinkie land be pegged to their kind of remuneration? To do so, it is an insult to their own self esteem.

How about we just swim across the Johor Straits and then proceed to the border checkpoint to get our passport stamped? It may alleviate the congestion at the Causeway too.

It should be "They can't eat the cake and still expect to have it."

If they have the cake, they would expect to eat it. Hence "They can't have the cake and eat it" does not make sense.

Brilliant! I am at a loss for words.

From Idioms and phrases dictionary, via copy and paste:

Have one's cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it (too) is a popular English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech.[1][2][3] Many people misunderstand the meanings of "have" and "eat" as used here but still understand the proverb in its entirety and intent and use it in this form. Some people feel this form of the proverb is incorrect and illogical and instead prefer "you can't eat your cake and have it (too)", which is in fact closer to the original form of the proverb[4] (see further explanations below) but very rare today. Other rare variants use "keep" instead of "have".[5]

The proverb literally means "you cannot both possess your cake and eat it". It can be used to say that one cannot or should not have or want more than one deserves or can handle, or that one cannot or should not try to have two incompatible things. The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases "you can't have it both ways" and "you can't have the best of both worlds." Conversely, in the positive sense, it refers to "having it both ways" or "having the best of both worlds."

[eatshitndie]

this cake that you can have and eat it too is a little too traditional and obvious. type 3. usually cums out in one smooth but harder lump, and it is very clean on the anus. no need for toilet roll.
