I really read that article with much interest. It tells us how ignorant are we towards our own country. I guess with the strong propaganda arms of the government, most people now probably know what's the name of our Yang Amat Berhormat Prime Minister. But what about, let's say, who is the Minister of Finance or Minister of Internal Security ? Hehe...
If you also read my other blog, Ada apa dengan ShinShin?, perhaps you have come across this article,
Awek cun who tangkap feel in the train to Temasek. Okay now, don't imagine about the awek who tangkap feel in the train anymore. What I wish to mention is another sitcom that took place in the train.As I said, the Third Class coach was filled up by many elementary school headmasters and headmistresses from Kota Padang, West Sumatra. So the middle-aged headmistress who sat next to me started to borak with two middle-aged local men across the aisle.
Headmistress : Berapa ramaikah penduduk Malaysia ?
Man A : Hmm... Dua juta patut ada.
At this juncture, I almost burst out in laugh. Luckily the other guy corrected him that Malaysia's population has already reached twenty four million. It's really hillarious, they have no idea about their own country at all. I hope people like him constitute just a minority, but obviously there are still many among us who are equally ignorant. Just ask yourself, what's the height of Petronas Twin Towers, KLCC ?
