Malaysian Astronaut
Filed under: Have you heard the joke about Malaysian astronauts? I heard this from someone before, it goes something like this.
(WARNING: PLEASE TURN ON YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR OK?)
The Malaysian government is looking for the best Malaysian to go to the moon and become the first national astronaut. After several physical examinations and multiple IQ tests, the government has filtered down to 3 best individuals, an Indian, a Malay and a Chinese. So the government officer decided to interview them before proceeding further:
Officer: Congratulations! You are one of the final 3 candidates who passed all our tests and ready to go to the moon. Now you will realize that this will be our 1st expedition and undeniably, there will be a some danger involved. However, if this mission is a success, you will become the pride of our nation and put our map into the world. Will you be willing to sacrifice your life for our country?
Indian Guy: Yes sir, I am ready and willing to sacrifice my life. But before this, I only ask for one favour sir.
Officer: What will it be?
Indian Guy: I would need RM1 million before I go to the moon, sir.
Officer: RM1 million?? Why do you need RM1 million??
Indian Guy: You see sir, if anything happens to me, nobody will take care of my family, my wife and 2 kids. RM1 million will be sufficient, sir.
Officer: I will consider your request. Thank you.
Next interview:
Officer: Congratulations! You are one of the final 3 candidates who passed all our tests and ready to go to the moon. Now you will realize that this will be our 1st expedition and as careful as we are, undeniably there will be some danger involved. However, if this mission is a success, you will become the pride of our nation. Will you be willing to sacrifice your life for our beloved country?
Malay Guy: Yes sir, I am ready and willing to sacrifice my life. But before that, I only ask for one favour sir.
Officer: What will it be?
Malay Guy: I would need RM2 million before I go to the moon, sir.
Officer: RM2 million?? Why do you need RM2 million??
Malay Guy: You see sir, if anything happens to me, nobody will take care of my family. I have 2 wives sir, so RM1 million for each wife will be sufficient, sir.
Officer: I will consider your request. Thank you.
Now the officer is fuming and thinks that no one is as patriotic as they seemed to be. Finally, the last interview:
Officer: Congratulations! You are one of the final 3 candidates who passed all our tests and ready to go to the moon. Now you will realize that this will be our 1st expedition and as careful as we are, undeniably there will be some danger involved. However, if this mission is a success, you will become the pride of our nation. Will you be willing to sacrifice your life for our beloved country?
Chinese Guy: Yes sir, I am ready and willing to sacrifice my life. But before that, I only ask for one favour sir.
Officer: What will it be?
Chinese Guy: I would need RM3 million before I go to the moon, sir.
Officer: RM3 million?? Why do you need RM3 million?? Bugger you are more greedy than the 1st 2 candidates!!
Chinese Guy: No sir, you see it’s like this. RM1 million is for me, another RM1 million is for you and the last RM1 million is for that Indian fella to go to the moon…
