SCORES AND EVALUATION:

0-10 - Malu-lah you! We suggest you spend at least one hour a day
at your nearest coffee-shop.

11-20 - Boleh pass. Okay, you may claim to be the average Malaysian
with a score in this range but you could watch less CNN
on Astro and more local content on RTM.

21-30 - Wah, you one true blue Malaysian-lah. Top quality belacan.
We are truly impressed, especially if you know the answer
to No. 24 which we admit is very tricky!

The contributor for question no.7 seriously needs to be kicked out of Malaysia.

The question intended the answer to be " Budu " but Budu is made ONLY from fish ( anchovy ) and NEVER shrimp !

The one made from shrimp is CENCALOK. Which definitely not loved by Kelantanese and never Kelantan by origin ( Melaka, is it ? )

They called me John ‘Two-Hits-With-One-Stone’ Cheong

An old memory came to me today when Mei and I went cycling in Balik Pulau. After 2 months of being cooped up in our flat, it was great...
