In Malaysia, 1Malaysia (ONEMALAYSIA) is now the most spoken word on TV. Most corporate advertisements are circling around this theme.
This morning, while doing my round in the ward, my phone rang. A patient who has recently been discharged from the hospital called to enquire about his wound (he had an abdominal surgery few days ago; bowel perforation from a motorvehicle accident). He is an ethnic Chinese asking about 'begho' around his wound, in Bahasa Melayu of Kelantanese dialect. Not understanding what 'begho' means, I asked the patient in front of me, who is an ethnic Siamese. (maksudnya; orang Cina cakap Melayu kepada orang Melayu, Melayu tak faham, tanya orang Siam, orang Siam explain istilah Melayu kepada orang Melayu.....baru kawe faham). 'Begho' tu lebam-lebam le doktor!.

Point-nya : In Kelantan, 1Malaysia is not a 'propaganda', it is 'darahdaging' !!!

Anyway, I am not a pure Kelantanese, only S.K.M.K - Sudah Kahwin Mek Kelate !
