TUESDAY JOKES - 317


Roller Coaster Kampong Style at Malangbong Garut, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

A lady goes to the doctor and complains her husband is losing interest in sex.
He gives her a pill but warns her that it’s still experimental. He tells her to slip it in his mashed potatoes at dinner. At dinner that night, she does just that.
About a week later she’s back at the doctor and tells him, “The pill worked great! I put it in his mashed potatoes like you said.
It wasn’t five minutes later that he jumped up, pushed all the food and dishes to the floor, grabbed me, ripped off all my clothes and ravaged me right there on the table.”

The doctor says, “Oh dear, I’m sorry, we didn’t realize the pill was that strong. The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages.”

The lady replied, “That’s very kind but I don’t think the restaurant will let us back in any way!”

 

An opera singer said she could teach me how to hit high C…
I said, “No thanks. I’ve heard that pitch!”

 

A young woman said to her doctor, ‘You have to help me, I am hurt all over.’

‘What do you mean?’ said the doctor. The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, ‘Ow, that hurts.’ Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, ‘Ouch! That hurts, too.’ Then she touched her right earlobe. ‘Ow, even that hurts.’

The doctor asked the woman, ‘Are you a natural blonde?’ ‘Why yes,’ she said.

‘I thought so,’ said the doctor. ‘You have a sprained finger!’

 

A travelling salesman goes to a farm house for a night’s stay. The farmer goes, I could put you up for one night but you’ll have to stay in the barn.

So, he spends the night there and the next morning the farmer comes in, he goes, Were you comfortable? He goes, I had a great time; I talked to all the animals.

He goes, You talked to the animals?

He goes, Yeah, I spoke to the chickens, they say you collect the eggs every morning exactly at five minutes after six.

The farmer goes, That’s exactly right.

He says, The horse tells me his name is Otis, you’ve owned him for 10 years.

The farmer goes, That’s incredible.

And he goes, I spoke to the cow, the cow says that her name is Elsie and you milk her every morning at exactly 8:30.

And then I spoke to the sheep.

And the farmer goes, Those sheep are lying!

 

The Norman king drove the Anglo-Saxons crazy at the Battle of Hastings.

He was known as William the Bonkerer!

 

Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about it but Bill indicated that he’d be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own.

One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong.
“What’s wrong, Bill?” she asked.
“Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?” he asked.

“Oh, Bill, I hope you didn’t,” she said.

“Yes, I did,” he told her.
“My God, Bill, what happened?”
“I got fired.”
“No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?” she asked.
“Oh… she got fired too!”

 

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody’s there to appreciate it!

 

In a certain suburban neighbourhood, there were two brothers, 8 and 10 years old, who were exceedingly mischievous.

Whatever went wrong in the neighbourhood, it nearly always turned out they had had a hand in it.

Their parents were at their wits’ end trying to control them and after hearing about a priest nearby who worked with delinquent boys, the mother suggested to the father that they should ask the priest to talk to them.

The mother went to the priest and made her request. He agreed but said he wanted to see the younger boy first and alone. So, the mother sent him to the priest.

The priest sat the boy down across from the huge, impressive desk he sat behind. For about five minutes they just sat and stared at each other. Finally, the priest pointed his forefinger at the boy and asked, “Where is God?”

The boy looked under the desk, in the corners of the room, all around but said nothing.

Again, louder, the priest pointed at the boy and asked, “Where is God?”
Again, the boy looked all around but said nothing. A third time, in a louder, firmer voice, the priest leaned far across the desk and put his forefinger almost to the boy’s nose, and asked, “Where is God?”
The boy panicked and ran all the way home. Finding his older brother, he dragged him upstairs to their room and into the closet, where they usually plotted their mischief and quickly said, “We are in big trouble!”
The older boy asked, “What do you mean, big trouble?”
His brother replied, “God is missing and they think we did it!”

“Makcik Lynas” trolled for being sore loser, fussing over Rafizi, Nik Nazmi still tied to PKR’s RM10m bond

 

PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh has apparently come under fire for unveiling that the party is mulling legal action against its former deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and ex-vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad for part hopping breaches that run afoul of the party’s constitution.

The Domestic Trade and Costs of Living Deputy Minister claimed that PKR has time-stamped evidence that the duo who announced having taken over the Malaysian United Party a.k.a. Parti Bersama Malaysia on Sunday (May 17) had already joined BERSAMA the day before, thereby violating their 2022 election bond with PKR.

The election bond requires candidates of the core Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition member to remain with the party until the end of the term.

When unveiling their plans to jump ship to BERSAMA, Rafizi and Nik Nazmi said they would submit their resignations as MPs first prior to quitting PKR and join BERSAMA.

Following this, both the former economy minister and natural resources and environmental sustainability minister have submitted a letter to Dewan Rakyat Tan Sri Johari Abdul yesterday (May 18) to inform him of their resignation as MPs for Pandan and Setiawangsa respectively.

“Our service centre will operate as usual to continue providing assistance and services to voters,” they penned in a joint statement.

“We’ll also be contesting again in the Pandan and Setiawangsa parliamentary constituencies on the BERSAMA platform in the upcoming election.”

Rafizi and Nik Nazmi will next step down from PKR today (May 19), thus ending their 23-year and two decades stint with the party respectively.

Hostile reaction

Civil and criminal lawyer Faizal Rahman chided Fuziah who is touted as “Makcik Lynas” for the apparent abandoning of her decade-long “Stop Lynas Rare Earth Refinery” campaign in Kuantan after PH assumed power in 2022 as a portrayal of “how hasty and greedy PKR is to get the RM10 mil bond money”.

“Beautiful and orderly (step-by-step) is the OFFICIAL action they’ve taken with the exact date,” snubbed the former PKR member who has since signed up with BERSAMA.

“This means the OFFICIAL action (official letter) will take effect ONLY after the OFFICIAL LETTER is issued.”

Madani critic Datuk Eric See-To also mocked Fuziah who was a three-term Kuantan MP prior to losing her seat to PAS in the 15th General Election (GE15) for being ungrateful given how “Rafizi and Nik Nazmi have been manipulated by (PKR president Datuk Seri) Anwar (Ibrahim) for over 10 years to help him become PM”.

Both won in their parliamentary contests which ultimately contributed to Anwar becoming PMX.

You also got the opportunity to be appointed as Deputy Minister because Anwar became PMX even though you yourself lost the election.

More importantly, both of them didn’t run away with seats that are deemed among the safest in the party. In fact, they were gentlemen enough to resign as MPs.

But you still have a bad heart by wanting to demand that they pay RM10 mil each to the party. Who wants to join or support a party that is so unkind and bad-hearted to this level?”

In a span of 24 hours, Rafizi claimed that around 8,000 new members have registered with BERSAMA which RM20 membership fee “has to be the cheapest lifetime membership of a political party in Malaysia. ðŸ«°ðŸ«°ðŸ’µðŸ’µ”, according to renowned political analyst Prof James Chin.

Umno NS sedia tanding semua 36 DUN, kata pemimpin

 Ketua Pemuda Umno Negeri Sembilan Fadil Md Zin mendakwa 'kapal besar' yang dimaksudkan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun sudah tersasar daripada laluannya.

PETALING JAYA:
Seorang pemimpin Umno berkata, parti itu sedia bertanding di semua 36 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Negeri Sembilan, termasuk berdepan Pakatan Harapan (PH) pada PRN akan datang.

Ketua Pemuda Umno Negeri Sembilan, Fadil Md Zin, berkata demikian ketika membidas pimpinan PH negeri itu, termasuk Menteri Besar, Aminuddin Harun yang menyifatkan keputusan 14 Adun Umno menarik balik sokongan terhadapnya sebagai tindakan khianat terhadap kerajaan negeri.

Jelasnya, Adun Umno bertindak sedemikian selepas garis merah yang ditetapkan dilanggar, termasuk membabitkan soal pentadbiran dan kedaulatan institusi adat Negeri Sembilan.

“PH perlu cermin diri sebelum mendakwa ’14 Adun Umno khianat’ kerana prinsip Umno jelas serta tidak akan berdiam diri, seandainya garis merah dilanggar sewenang-wenangnya.

“Umno juga telah bersiap sedia bagi menghadapi peperangan pilihan raya untuk 36 DUN di Negeri Sembilan,” katanya kepada FMT.

Semua 14 Adun Umno menarik balik sokongan kepada Aminuddin pada 27 April lalu kerana hilang kepercayaan terhadapnya berhubung pengendalian dalam pertikaian empat Undang yang dikatakan cuba menyingkirkan Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan.

Ahad lalu, Aminuddin dilaporkan berkata, keputusan 14 Adun Umno menarik balik sokongan terhadapnya ialah tindakan khianat terhadap kerajaan negeri, yang diibaratkannya seperti ‘kapal besar’ dibina bersama.

“Kami di Negeri Sembilan ada kapal besar, yang kita bina cukup hebat, kukuh tak makan dek badai dan perjalanan jauh sudah dilalui bersama. Tiba-tiba mereka rasa tak selesa, mungkin panas, mungkin rasa mahu sesuatu yang baharu, mereka tebuk dari dalam.

“Jadi, apabila ditebuk, jadikan satu kesan, walaupun mampu tampal, tetapi tetap ada tanda kebocoran. Apabila ada tanda kebocoran, itulah tanda ada pengkhianatan sebelum ini,” kata Aminuddin ketika berucap pada Konvensyen PH di Johor Bahru, kelmarin.

Pengerusi DAP Negeri Sembilan, Loke Siew Fook dalam konvensyen sama pula mencadangkan PH bertanding di semua 36 kerusi DUN negeri itu, sejajar pengumuman Barisan Nasional Johor mahu bergerak solo dan bertanding di 56 kerusi DUN pada PRN akan datang.

Fadil mendakwa ‘kapal besar’ yang dimaksudkan Aminuddin sudah tersasar daripada laluannya.

“Istilah ‘kapal besar’ yang dibina bersama adalah tepat untuk PRN ke-15 tempoh hari.

“Namun, tatkala ‘kapal besar’ sedang belayar, yang dinakhodai PH, dilihat sudah tersasar dari laluan sebenar dan tidak lagi mengikut jalan seperti di awal pembinaan ‘kapal besar’ serta melanggar kapal-kapal kecil yang bertungkus-lumus membina ‘kapal besar’.”

Beliau turut mendakwa selepas pembentukan kerajaan Negeri Sembilan, Umno negeri itu seolah-olah diperlekehkan.

“Sejak dari tahun pertama dan ketika lantikan timbalan speaker yang telah dijanjikan kepada Umno dilengah-lengahkan, dari situ kami telah lihat Umno hanya diperlekehkan oleh pimpinan PH.” - FMT

The crisis we have yet to feel

 The worst of the Iran war is yet to come, but Malaysia must make tough decisions now to prepare for an uncertain future.

From Dr Helmy Haja Mydin

If you paid RM1.99 at the pump, and a bit more at the supermarket today than yesterday but it didn’t bite too deeply to force you to cut back on your latte, you will be forgiven for assuming that Malaysia has weathered the worst of the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war.

The reality is we have not. The months ahead are likely to be harder than those behind us, and the government will need to make unpopular but unavoidable decisions.

Across the region, the Philippines has declared a national energy emergency and put government offices on a four-day week. Its development institute has estimated that up to 3.1 million Filipinos could fall into poverty as a direct result.

Indonesia, an oil producer, is burning through reserves to defend the rupiah and is one policy mistake away from a repeat of the September 2025 fuel protests that turned violent.

Thailand has restarted decommissioned coal units, capped public-building air-conditioning at 27°C, and is in stage two of a three-stage rationing plan.

Vietnam, Bangladesh and South Korea are rationing energy. Even Singapore, with the deepest pockets in the region, is struggling to source enough bunker fuel for the ships that anchor its economy.

What it’s like for us 

Malaysia has been spared the worst so far, and not by accident. We produce some of our own oil and gas.

The ringgit has held up. And Budi95 and Budi Diesel have kept headline pump prices within reach, holding Q1 inflation to a modest 1.6%. Despite the best efforts by the Madani government, none of those three buffers is unlimited.

The clearest warning is in the subsidy line. Budget 2026 allocated RM15 billion for fuel subsidies; the treasury now projects the full-year bill at RM58.4 billion, a shortfall of more than RM43 billion on a war we had no role in starting.

Ministries have been instructed to cut services and supplies spending by 10% and reduce allocations to statutory bodies and GLCs by 20%. The monthly Budi95 quota has been reduced from 300 litres to 200 litres. This is early fiscal triage.

What most of us have not priced in are the second-order effects.

The first is petrochemicals. Modern manufacturing runs on plastics derived from Gulf feedstock.

Nurhisham Hussein, economic adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office, has warned that SMEs had only one to two weeks of buffer stock left as of April, with production stoppages, reduced shifts and overtime cuts likely to begin in earnest by June and July.

Around 70% of a modern car is plastic; the same is true of medical devices, hygiene products, food packaging and electronics. Alternative US supplies exist, but specifications differ from what our factories use, and shipping takes weeks longer.

The second is agriculture, where the crisis becomes a food story.

Roughly a third of the world’s traded urea passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and the region supplies close to half of globally traded sulphur, essential for both fertilisers and pesticides.

Urea prices have already jumped from around US$400 to US$700 a tonne. In Thailand, pineapple and palm oil farmers are reporting stunted crops and trucks being repossessed.

Indonesian palm oil faces a double squeeze from fertiliser shortages and a forecasted El Niño. Our padi and palm oil sectors are exposed to the same dynamic, and reduced fertiliser application will not show up in prices until harvest.

By then it will be too late to fix.

The third, and least discussed, is the recovery timeline.

Even if the war ended tomorrow, the supply side cannot simply reboot. Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex lost about 17% of its capacity to Iranian strikes in March, and replacement gas turbines have lead times of two to four years from only three manufacturers worldwide.

QatarEnergy estimates full repairs could take three to five years.

Oil wells that have been shut cannot simply be turned back on; many have been cemented over. Nurhisham puts realistic normalisation at six months from the date hostilities actually end, assuming they end soon.

This is what makes the current shock fundamentally different.

The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis was a demand and currency crisis we could devalue and restructure out of.

Covid-19 was a demand shock resolved by fiscal stimulus and vaccines. The 2022 Russia-Ukraine spike was painful but transient, cushioned by a strong dollar and intact Gulf supply.

This is a supply-side shock layered on top of physically damaged infrastructure. No amount of government spending can manufacture barrels that do not exist or repair turbines that take years to build.

What we must do

Tough decisions may need to be made. Subsidy targeting will need to go further. Strategic stockpiling of petrochemical feedstock and fertiliser deserves Cabinet attention now, not in July.

Demand management is already under way, but the current civil-service work-from-home arrangement will likely need to be deepened. Food security for padi and palm oil can no longer be deferred to the next planning cycle.

None of this is a counsel of despair. Malaysia is structurally better placed than most of our neighbours and our institutions are capable.

But the real risk here is complacency and mismanaged expectations — alongside politicians who are focused on campaigning instead of governing.

The worst thing we can do is assume that because we have not felt the full impact, we will somehow continue to be spared.

The bill is in the post. The question is whether we use the time we have left to prepare or wait for it to arrive and react. - FMT
