Your Favourite National Day Rally Story

[jw5]

Most people will probably say "mee siam mai hum", which was at least 2 or 3 years ago. Don't think it was last year. But I don't find this story either too memorable or humerous. So he mistook mee siam for laksa, big deal.

My favourite national day rally story was from many years back, during GCT time.
I can't remember his exact words and don't feel like searching for it through the archives, but it was something like this.

He was talking about social graciousness or courtesy and he recounted what happened to him. He was in the back seat of his car when another car cut into the path of his driver. His driver had to take very quick evasive action otherwise they would have got into an accident. The driver of the other car sped off, but GCT mentioned that at that time, he wanted to get the car stopped and tell the driver that he had just cut into the path of the prime minister (which he was at that time of course). He laughed and the whole audience laughed with him.

Not surprised at all by his thoughts at that time, since probably 99% of people in his position and situation would probably have thought that at that time. But surprised that he said this in a speech. Not the story itself, but what he wanted to tell the driver.

What's your favourite national day rally story in view that national day and rally are coming up? Hope it's not mee siam mai hum.
At least we can look forward to seeing who's in the "in crowd" curently.

From the recent past:

1991

GCT : We campaigned on the manifesto slogan The Next Lap but looks like people prefer a few more opposition members.

LTK : This is the beginning of The Next Lap.

1997

TLH : Your upgrading is not free, your utility room costs more per foot than my bunglow!

GCT : It's not calculated like that. You have to take into consideration more lifts, sheltered walkways, neighbourhood parks, amenities etc.

TLH : Saudara-saudara, untuk rakyat, untuk negara, untuk merdeka! Merdeka, merdeka, merdeka! They call me a Chinese chauvinist. If they don't apologise, we shall sue!

GCT : I call you a liar; come sue me.

JBJ : We have here a police report just made by TLH against GCT.

GCT : Sue! All sue!

2001

CSJ : Hello, Mr. Goh, come here, where's the money? You can run but you can't hide.

CSJ : I hereby apologise...blah blah blah...

CSJ : I hereby retract my apology; I was forced to do it!

2006

J. Gomez : Are you aware of the consequence?

ED Official : Have you seen the CCTV footage?

J. Gomez : Oh sorry, my mistake, I forgot.

WKS : Sorry also must explain, come clean!

LKY : LTK helped J. Gomez write apology, no count!

LTK : Where got? If you think we lied, sue us!

Mr. Brown : Bakchomee don't want teekua can or not?

G. Yeo : No appetite to eat such oily stuff; just scraped through only.

Mr. Brown : Yeah, you damn heng just passed, your neighbour Eric failed even with GCT senior tutor!

Something about the urban legend of LHL slapping Dhanabalan...how about the "more good year (s)", "Swiss standard of Living"??

Many people assumed that the mee siam hai hum gaffe was supposed to mean laksa without cockles. The other day sometime ago, I had breakfast with PM and he clarified with me. It was supposed to mean mee siam mai hiam (no chilli added), as in a policy (mee siam as anology) with spice added (short-term discomfort sensation). Somehow his tongue slipped and the dipthong -ia came out as the vowel -u.

Anyone who eats mee siam without chilli is a wuss.

My favourite story happened 45 years ago on a certain day in August. On National TV, one hakka chinese cried on national TV saying that we were booted out from Malaysia although in reality he seceded from the Federation and subsequently made himself master of all, servant to none. So the stupid mats couldn't do jack shit to him because he caused so much trouble for them and when he declared 'Independence', their only options were:

1. Lan par par lan bang balls and let him have his way
2. Send in the army and lock him and his homies away in isolated cells and Singapore once again the warm embrace of the Federation

However since Singapore wasn't worth jackshit back then and our gdp was only 965 million per year so not worth it, if only what the dumb mats could see what was the hakka's insidious plan all along
