Chong Shan Learns "Sejarah Hari Ini"

This was in my inbox today. Its hilarious the way the author (Anon) presents the authority of history. Kids have good memory, remember?

History to be made compulsory pass subject soon.

It was the first day of a school in Kulai, Johor and a new Chinese student named Chong Shan entered Standard four.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some Malaysian History.

Who said, 'Merdeka, Merdeka" ?

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chong Shan who had his hand up: 'Tengku Abdul Rahman, 31 August 1957' he said.

'Very good!

Who said 'China’s authoritarian rule is more effective than the ‘democracy’ practiced in Malaysia ?''

Again, no response except from Chong Shan.

'Mamakkutty from Kerala, 2010' he said.

The teacher snapped at the class,

'Boys, you should be ashamed.

Chong Shan, who is a pendatang to our country, knows more about our history than you do.'

She heard a loud whisper:

'@#$** the Chinese.'

'Who said that?' she demanded.

Chong Shan put his hand up.

'Perkasa Chief, Ibrahim Ali.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Yeah, I am Malay first, Malaysian second!'

Chong Shan jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Muhideen Mohd Yassin, 2010'.

At that point, a student in the back said, 'Correct, correct, correct!'

The teacher glares around and asks

'All right! Now, who said that?'

Again, Chong Shan says,

'Lawyer VK Lingam in a telephone conversation brokering the appointment of top judges with the former Chief Justice.'

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, 'I am not ashamed to admit that I cannot compete with the Chinese and Indian students.'

Chong Shan frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Mamakkutty from Kerala in Medical College.'

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!'

And Chong Shan said quietly, 'I think it was Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 2008'.
