SUNDAY JOKES - 340

 

Pasar Siti Kadijah, Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia yesterday.

A multi-millionaire living in Penang decided to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbors.

He also invited Ramli Nor, the only aborigine living in his neighborhood.

He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion. Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating prawns and oysters from the barbecue and flirting.

Then at the height of the party, the millionaire said, “I have a 15-foot man-eating crocodile in my pool and I’ll give a million ringgit to anyone who’ll join him in the pool.”

The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash.

Everyone turned around and saw Ramli in the pool fighting madly with the crocodile, jabbing it in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, head butting it, getting it in chokeholds, biting its tail and flipping it through the air like some kind of martial arts expert.

The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Ramli and the crocodile were screaming and raising hell.

Finally, after what seemed like a rage, Ramli strangled the crocodile and let it float to the top of the pool like a dead goldfish.

An exhausted Ramli wearily climbed out of the pool with everybody staring at him in disbelief.

The millionaire said, “Well, Ramli, I reckon I owe you a million ringgit then.”

“Nah, boss, I don’t want it,” said Ramli.

So the millionaire said “Man, I have to give you something. You won the bet. How about half a million ringgit?”

“No thanks, I don’t want it,” Ramli insisted.

The millionaire said, “Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche, a Rolex, or some stock options?”

Once again, Ramli said, “No.”

Confused, the rich man asked, “Well Ramli, then what do you want?”

“I want the bastard who pushed me in!” said Ramli.

 

Teacher: “If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?”
Ahmad: “Seven.”
Teacher: “No, listen carefully… If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?”
Ahmad: “Seven.”
Teacher: “Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?”
Ahmad: “Six.”
Teacher: “Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?”
Ahmad: “Seven!”

Teacher: “Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?”

Ahmad: “Because I’ve already got a freaking cat!”

 

Four men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on the bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen to the conversation.

MAN: “Hello.”

WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me, Are you at the club.”

MAN: “Yes.”

WOMAN: “I am at the mall now and I found this very beautiful leather coat. It’s only RM 5,000. Is it OK, if I buy it?”

MAN: “Sure, go ahead, if you like it that much.”

WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Porche dealer and say the new 2020 models. I saw one I really like.”

MAN: “How much?”

WOMAN: “RM 550,000.”

MAN: “OK but for that price, I want it with all the options.”

WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing ….. that house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking RM 5 million.”

MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of RM 4 million. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra RM 1 million if it’s really a pretty good price.”

WOMAN: ” OK, I will see you later! I love you so much!”

MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”

The Man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.

He turns around and asks “Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

 

My friend thinks he is smart. He told me an onion is the only food that makes him cry, so I threw a coconut at his face!

 

“I hate to have to tell you this,” said the Doctor in a sad compassionate voice, “but you have been unfortunately been diagnosed with a highly contagious disease, we will have to quarantine you and you’ll only be fed on cheese and bologna sausage.”

“That’s terrible!” said the distraught young man, quickly sitting down before he could faint. “I don’t know if I could handle being in quarantine …. and the cheese and bologna sausage diet …”

“What’s with the cheese and bologna sausage diet anyway? I’ve never had such a diet before.”

“It’s not exactly a diet”, responded the Doctor, “it’s just the only food that will fit under your door!”


One day, Einstein had to speak at an important science conference.

On the way there, he tells his driver that he looks a bit like him: “I’m sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!” The driver agrees: “You’re right. As your driver, I have attended all of them and even though I don’t know anything about science, I could talk at the conference in your place.”“That’s a great idea!” says Einstein. “Let’s switch places then!”So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it. But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won’t be able to respond. So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response.The driver looks at him, dead in the eye and says :“Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I’m going to let my driver reply to it for me!”

 

So there was this man in Bulgaria who drove trains for a living.He loved his job. Driving a train had been his dream ever since he was a child. He loved to make the train go as fast as possible. Unfortunately, one day he was a little too reckless and caused a crash. He made it out but a single person died. Well, needless to say, he went to court over this incident. He was found guilty and was sentenced to death by electrocution. When the day of the execution came, he requested a single banana as his last meal. After eating the banana, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was pulled, sparks flew and smoke filled the air – but nothing happened. The man was perfectly fine. Well, at the time, there was an old Bulgarian law that said a failed execution was a sign of divine intervention, so the man was allowed to go free. Somehow, he managed to get his old job back driving the train. Having not learned his lesson at all, he went right back to driving the train with reckless abandon. Once again, he caused a train to crash, this time killing two people. The trial went much the same as the first, resulting in a sentence of execution. For his final meal, the man requested two bananas.“You know what? No,” said the executioner. “I’ve had it with you and your stupid bananas and walking out of here unharmed. I’m not giving you a thing to eat; we’re strapping you in and doing this now.” Well, it was against protocol but the man was strapped in to the electric chair without a last meal. The switch was pulled, sparks flew, smoke filled the room – and the man was still unharmed. The executioner was speechless.The man looked at the executioner and said, “Oh, the bananas had nothing to do with it. I’m just a bad conductor!

 

A Mormon and an Irishman are on a plane. The Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, “I’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.” The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, “Me, too, I didn’t know we had a choice!”

 

Patient: “Doctor, I get heartburn every time I eat birthday cake.”

Doctor: “Next time, take off the candles!”

MY Gardenia fans willingly pay thrice bigger S$ for SG exclusive wholemeal banana walnut bread!

 

FORGET about the Massimo-Gardenia popularity war or the unpatriotic act of allowing the ringgit to flow into the coffers of our southern neighbour which already boasts a much mightier pace of economic development than ours.

Sometimes it can be mind boggling as to how ordinary Malaysians can suddenly develop a high taste or rather craze to the extent of willing to fork out extra expenses to fulfil their cravings while at the same time fuss over expensive pricing of stuff outside their gastronomic radar.

Such is the case with the Gardenia wholemeal banana walnut bread with some bread lovers petitioning the so-called Malaysia’s biggest bread manufacturer to make the flavour available in the country.

“It’s so strange that this Gardenia bread isn’t sold in Malaysia. It’s really delicious! It’s a Malaysian product and it’s halal-certified is that of Malaysia’ yet why is it only sold in Singapore?” queried Threader syaza najwa (@najwasyaza).

“Ahhh, I’m eating it right now but I can’t bring myself to eat it too quickly – I’m worried sick it’ll run out! 😂”

Delving further, the poster hinted at feeling let down over the fact that many other ‘premium’ bread flavours are only sold in Singapore.

“I’m starting a petition for @gardenia_kl to sell these bread in Malaysia as well! Since the Gardenia factory from Singapore has moved to JB (Johor Bahru), could you please sell some in JB, too? 🫣”

This fascination also rubbed off on lifestyle content creator and foodie Holaa Is Me Jihaa (@najihahismaeyy) who was at a lost as to why the said bread is not made available in Malaysia.

“Why is it only in Singapore?? Whyyyy – oh my god, it’s so delicious!” she declared.

Thrice more expensive

Such a yearning for that loaf of wholemeal banana walnut bread was likened by one AHMAD AFFAN IDHAM ☣️(@affaniedham) to “how Sabahans and Sarawakians feel when they see delicious bread being sold only in Peninsular Malaysia 😭😂”.

One apparent cat lover who is seemingly familiar with the Lion’s Republic even tipped Gardenia fans that “NTUC offers wider selection than 7-Eleven shelves that are practically empty”.

Editor’s Note: NTUC FairPrice (officially NTUC FairPrice Co-operative Ltd) is Singapore’s largest supermarket chain which is operated as a social enterprise co-operative of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).

This was till one presumably Singaporean or a Malaysian working in Singapore highlighted an economy of scale factor in that the much sought after bread “sells for S$4-S$6”, hence if converted to ringgit, “that works out to be around RM12 which can make one faints”.

“Moreover, if it’s available in Malaysia, Singaporeans will snap them up at wholesale pace in Johor, thus leaving Johoreans to suffer the consequences,” teased one Lily Lim (@lilylim80_cheah).

True enough, the first poster admitted that RM12.90 was reflected on her bank statement “after having closed one eye to snap up delicious desserts”.

Truth be told, specialty flavours like the wholemeal banana walnut and fruit & nut Gardenia bread are formulated, managed and marketed strictly for the Singapore market. Given that they are not sold by Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn Bhd in Malaysia, the limited availability creates high curiosity and demand.

Fans praise the loaf for combining the wholesome texture of wholemeal with the rich, comforting sweetness of banana and the crunch of walnuts, thus giving it a dessert-like or artisanal feel compared to standard sliced sandwich bread.

Even as the Gardenia factory in Singapore has moved to JB, the bread is still owned by Gardenia Foods (S) Pte Ltd as opposed to Gardenia Bakeries (KL).

Gardenia announced on May 20, 2026, that they will close the Pandan Loop factory on June 30, 2026 by moving production to Johor Bahru but Singapore will remain the hub for brand management, product development and quality/regulatory oversight.

However, the said wholemeal banana walnut recipe and market remains for Singapore only.

If one wishes to sell it in Malaysia, that has to go through Gardenia Bakeries (KL) which is a different entity with different recipe, different costing and supply/demand channel. –  Focus Malaysia

Clashes break out as hundreds of thousands protest in France

 


PARIS: Clashes erupted in Paris and other French cities on Saturday after hundreds of thousands of people staged a third weekend of protests at soaring living costs.

More than 500 people were arrested as police fired water cannon and tear gas to disperse rioters on the sidelines of the demonstrations, where regular protesters marched in Halloween costumes.

While Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the marches had been largely orderly, he denounced the disorder, including an incident in Paris when a police officer was struck by a Molotov cocktail.

The interior ministry said late Saturday that police had arrested 565 people across the country. Four police officers and one gendarme had been injured in Paris, three of them burned by Molotov cocktails.

After a march on the outskirts of Paris in bright sunshine, clashes broke out between police and some demonstrators as the procession reached its final destination.

Dozens of masked people dressed in black used hammers to pry up paving stones and hurl them at police, AFP journalists saw. Police responded with tear gas and several baton charges.

The Paris police prefecture said that several hundred rioters had attacked security forces with projectiles.

Nunez pointed to an "extraordinary" level of violence from some protesters, blaming far-left extremist groups for attacks on security forces.

He described the throwing of a Molotov cocktail at a riot police officer in Paris as an "attempted murder", adding that the officer had escaped with minor injuries.

"We are fully prepared for those looking for confrontation tonight," he warned.

- Officer in flames -

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said those responsible for the firebomb attack must be "punished with the utmost severity", in a post on X, describing images of the officer in flames as "unbearable".

A night-time curfew was to be imposed in the central Paris neighbourhoods of Republique and Chatelet-Les Halles from 11pm to 6am on Saturday and Sunday.

The interior ministry said that "radical elements" in cities including Bordeaux, Toulouse and Marseille had attempted to enter city centres "with the aim of carrying out vandalism and looting".

In Lyon, France's third-largest city, people threw projectiles at police, prompting officers to fire tear gas.

In the southern city of Toulouse, police used water cannon against an unauthorised protest that drew several thousand people.

- 'Attack on freedom' -

Earlier Saturday, thousands of people, some wearing costumes ranging from Spider-Man to Frankenstein, marched through eastern Paris as a helicopter circled overhead.

Placards read: "No need for tear gas to make our future look bleak" and "Dressed up as an angry citizen for Halloween."

"The fact that demonstrations are being pushed outside city centres, and that so many protests are being banned, is really an attack on freedom," said one demonstrator, Alice Hien, a video game developer.

Authorities said some 320,000 people rallied across France, including 70,000 in Paris.

Youth organisations said nearly half a million people demonstrated, including 200,000 in the capital.

Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, took part in the Paris march and hailed the strong turnout.

- Elections looming -

The demonstrations come in a febrile political climate, with presidential elections less than six months away and Le Pen topping opinion polls.

The protest movement, bringing together Yellow Vest activists, trade unions, and high school and university students, initially focused on the rising cost of living, inequality, and deteriorating learning conditions.

Following a security clampdown and serious injuries to some protesters, the movement broadened its demands to include greater protection of civil liberties and the right to protest.

In the northern French city of Lille, 47-year-old Aurelie Herrmann danced at the protest.

"I dance because on television they only show damage and destruction, whereas you can perfectly well demonstrate in good spirits," she said.

Student protesters complained the police had not authorised a march through the centre of the French capital and vowed to stage new blockades of high schools and universities next week, including on November 5 when unions have called a demonstration.

With the eurozone's second-largest economy on the brink of recession and under pressure to rein in its debt, the government has limited scope to appease protesters through additional spending. - AFP

4 tahun kerjasama, TuJu masih bermasalah, soal penganalisis

 Masalah navigasi hampir setahun selepas pelancaran menuntut bukti ujian, pemantauan, dan tindakan pembetulan, bukan sekadar penjelasan mengenai peningkatan pengguna.

TUJU APP USER TuJu
LLM dan Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd menandatangani MoU pada 26 Mei 2022 dengan TuJu rasmi dilancarkan pada 26 Nov 2025.
PETALING JAYA:
Masalah navigasi aplikasi TuJu hampir setahun selepas dilancarkan menimbulkan persoalan mengenai hasil kerjasama Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) dengan pembangunnya sejak 2022, kata penganalisis.

Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri dari Global Asia Consulting, berkata peningkatan pengguna sepatutnya mencetuskan penelitian terhadap kesiapsiagaan aplikasi itu, bukannya menjadi alasan menjawab kelemahannya.

Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri

“Bukankah tujuan aplikasi navigasi dibangunkan supaya digunakan seramai mungkin pengguna? Kalau peningkatan pengguna sendiri sudah menjadi masalah, apakah sebenarnya ukuran kejayaan yang ditetapkan sejak awal?” katanya kepada FMT.

LLM dan Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd menandatangani memorandum persefahaman pada 26 Mei 2022 dengan TuJu rasmi dilancarkan pada 26 Nov 2025.

LLM mengaitkan gangguan itu dengan lonjakan pengguna selepas Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim menggalakkan orang ramai mempertimbangkan aplikasi berkenaan, sambil ketua pengarahnya melaporkan peningkatan daripada kira-kira 200,000 kepada 800,000 pengguna.

Prosignal memohon maaf dan menyasarkan 6 Nov untuk menyelesaikan kerja pemulihan serta penambahbaikan, sementara kerajaan meminta penjelasan mengenai punca masalah, prestasi semasa, dan langkah pembetulan.

Pengerusi LLM Hasni Mohammad pula berkata, TuJu dibangunkan untuk pengguna lebuh raya bertol, termasuk menyediakan maklumat trafik dan bantuan, bukannya bersaing secara langsung dengan Waze.

Zaharuddin berkata, LLM dan Prosignal perlu menjelaskan sama ada empat tahun itu benar-benar tempoh pembangunan aktif atau sekadar tempoh kerjasama, serta mendedahkan garis masa pembangunan, pencapaian projek, dan keputusan ujian.

“Jika masalah navigasi masih berbangkit hampir setahun kemudian, persoalannya bukan lagi semata-mata mengenai kelemahan teknologi, tetapi keberkesanan penyeliaan, pemantauan, dan tindakan pembetulan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, pakar teknologi maklumat Muhidin Arifin, berkata prestasi TuJu perlu dinilai berdasarkan ukuran jelas, termasuk ketepatan laluan, anggaran masa ketibaan, ketersediaan perkhidmatan, dan keupayaan mengira semula laluan.

Katanya, jumlah muat turun, pengguna aktif, dan pengguna yang menggunakan navigasi serentak ialah ukuran berbeza, manakala ujian tekanan diperlukan bagi menentukan kemampuan sistem menampung permintaan.

Muhidin mencadangkan, LLM dan Prosignal menerbitkan punca teknikal gangguan, kapasiti pengguna serentak yang sudah diuji serta bukti masalah diselesaikan, selain menjalankan ujian lapangan terhadap ketepatan laluan dan arahan navigasi.

Beliau turut mencadangkan kumpulan teknikal bersama melibatkan LLM, Prosignal, pakar universiti, pengendali lebuh raya, dan wakil pengguna, disokong laporan bulanan atau suku tahunan mengenai pencapaian, berbanding sasaran serta masalah yang belum diselesaikan.

Zaharuddin berkata, isu itu menguji akauntabiliti pengurusan projek berkaitan kerajaan apabila pelancaran lebih diraikan, berbanding penilaian keberkesanan perkhidmatan selepas dilancarkan.

“Rakyat hanya mahu satu perkara: aplikasi navigasi yang tahu menunjukkan jalan, bukannya pihak bertanggungjawab yang semakin pandai mencari jalan keluar daripada menjawab persoalan,” katanya. - FMT
