At the coffee shops shaking legs with the local people, they shared with me some political jokes of the day. "Do you know why Najib had to come to the Istana twice on February 5 before the new MB was announced?" a guy asked me. I shook my head, listening on in anxiety.
"Najib came in at 9.50am, left at 10.35am, and came back again at 11.21am and left in a hush by 11.34am. Why? Forgot to bring the cheque booklah!" The table of friends burst into laughter, knowing that it was just a black joke about the coup d'etat in Perak, albeit laced with very strong, arsenic hints of money changing hands.....
