TUESDAY JOKES - 340

 

Malaysia’s ‘Jurassic Park’ Hiking Spot, Bukit Baginda Trail, Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan.

Joe and Joan were sitting down to their usual morning cup of coffee listening to the weather report on the radio. “There will be 3 to 5 inches of snow today and a snow emergency has been declared,” the weather report said.

“You must park your cars on the odd numbered side of the streets.”
Joe said, “Jeez, okay,” and got up from his coffee.
The next day they were sitting down with their morning cups of coffee. The weather forecast was, “There will be 2 to 4 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared.
You must park your cars on the even numbered side of the streets.” Again, Joe replied, “Jeez, okay,” and got up from his coffee.
Two days later, again they’re sitting down with their cups of coffee and the weather forecast said, “There will be 6 to 8 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the…” and the power went out and Joe didn’t get the rest of the instructions.
He turned to Joan, “Jeez, what am I going to do now, Joan?”

Joan replied, “Aw, Joe, just leave the car in the darned garage today!”

 

A taxpayer received a strongly worded “second notice” that his taxes were overdue. Hastening to the collector’s office, he paid his bill, saying apologetically that he had overlooked the first notice.

“Oh,” confided the collector with a smile, “we don’t send out first notices. We have found that the second notices are more effective!”

 

A young man and woman were eager to enjoy a picnic in the park one Saturday noon and they opted to go through a fast-food drive-in for a quick snack.

They ordered, paid, got their bag of goodies and headed for the park. When they opened the bag, it was full on money instead of the hamburgers they expected.

They rushed back to the fast-food place and returned the money.
“This is WONDERFUL,” exclaimed the manager. “We’ve been looking for this money all morning and couldn’t figure out where it could have been misplaced. You two are an honest couple. A lot of people would not have the morals and honesty to return the money. I’m going to call the TV and the newspapers and let everybody know what an honest deed you’ve done.”

“Uh, don’t do that,” says the man, “my wife might see us on TV!”

 

I got a trophy wife.

I know that’s not right to say, cause if you’re married that’s your trophy.

I’m just saying not everybody got a first-place trophy.

Some people end up with a plaque.

You marry the neighborhood hoochie, you get a participation ribbon!

 

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, “Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?”

The first man approached him and said, “Sir, I don’t wish to interfere with your private grief but this demonstration of pain is more than I’ve ever seen before.

For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?” The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied, “My wife’s first husband!”

 

On the first day God created the cow. God said, “You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s a kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty years and I’ll give back the other forty.”
And God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years.” The dog said, “That’s too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I’ll give back the other ten.”
So, God agreed again.
On the third day God created the monkey. God said, “Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.” Monkey said, “How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don’t think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that’s what I’ll do too, okay?”
And God agreed once again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said, “Eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I’ll give you twenty years.”
Man said, “What? Only twenty years? No way, man. Tell you what, I’ll take my twenty, and the forty years the cows gave back, the ten years the dogs gave back and another ten years the monkeys gave back. That makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God. “You’ve got a deal.”

So, that is why for the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy, and do nothing. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the house and bark at everybody!


Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first said: “I built a big house for our mother.”
The second said: “I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.”

The third said: “You remember how our mother enjoys reading the Bible. Now she can’t see very well. So, I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took the elders in the church around 12 years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot recites it.”

Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks. “William,” she said, “the house you built is so huge. I live only in one room but I have to clean the whole house.

“Arnold,” she said, “I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And that driver is so rude! He’s a pain!”

“But David,” she said, “the chicken was very delicious!”

 

There was a man walking alone along a beach. He comes across a bottle with a cork in it. The man picks up the bottle and pulls out the cork. A loud roar follows and a genie appears.

The genie says to the man, “I’m a little tired today and I can only give you two wishes.”

The man says “That’s fine, two is enough.” “First, I would like one-billion dollars in a Swiss bank account.”
Poof – The genie hands the man a paper and says “Here’s the number to your account.”
Next the man says, “Second, I would like to be irresistible to women.”

Poof – the genie turned him into a box of chocolates!

 

An angry wife to her husband on phone: “Where the hell are you?”

Husband: “Darling, you remember that jewellery shop where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn’t have money that time, and I said ‘Baby it’ll be yours one day’?”

Wife, with a smile and blushing: “Yeah I remember that, my love!”

Husband: “I’m in the pub just next to that shop!”

Dear PMX, have HODs heed your audit instructions? What disciplinary action has been meted out?

 

I WOULD like to ask Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim directly – what measurable results have followed your instructions on Auditor-General’s findings?

You directed the Finance Ministry (MOF) on Sept 1, 2023 to lead follow-up and ensure that ministries complied, warning that otherwise the findings would recur the following year.

In August 2024, you separately warned that department heads who failed to report their subordinates’ misconduct would face disciplinary action affecting promotion.

From my experience in senior private-sector roles, leaving audit findings unresolved puts the responsible head’s job on the line. Management must correct the weakness and demonstrate that the correction works. Why should public money receive any less protection?

I acknowledge the reported action. The Public Service Department’s (JPA) follow-up statistics for 2015-2025 which were updated in December 2025 recorded 314 officers receiving punishments, including 186 warnings and three dismissals.

Those figures span several administrations. Your Madani government also reported RM920.91 mil in revenue collection and re-payments arising from audit follow-up as of Sept 28, 2026.

But dear PMX, how many responsible department heads faced action for ignoring findings or failing to report misconduct?

How many were denied promotion under your warning? Were officers transferred or promoted while findings under their responsibility remained unresolved?

Auditor-General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi

Who bears responsibility

A transfer cannot erase responsibility. A promotion should require scrutiny of how an officer handled outstanding audit findings.

Other countries experience failures, too. Singapore which publicly acknowledged approval and financial governance lapses in a major healthcare development has announced remedial measures and deadlines.

Indonesia’s audit board identified budgeting errors and activities undertaken without adequate funding. Their failures give us no excuse.

The Open Budget Survey 2025 scored Malaysia at 51/100 for budget transparency, behind the Philippines at 76, Indonesia at 71 and Thailand at 55. These scores measure access to budget information-not corruption. Will your government commit to closing that gap?

Will you require MOF and ministry heads to publish unresolved findings, responsible agencies, corrective deadlines, disciplinary outcomes and independently verified closure?

Where losses are established, will recovery efforts be disclosed? Where evidence warrants investigation or disciplinary action, will responsibility extend to senior management?

A revised allocation does not prove sound planning. Spending within a budget does not establish value for money. An unqualified audit opinion does not certify every contract, payment or management decision.

You issued the instructions. Malaysians are entitled to see the results and the Parliament must be able to scrutinise them.

Which recurring failures have stopped? Where they have continued, who has answered for them?

Taxpayers should not have to fund the same failures repeatedly.

Akmal mocked as “testing market” for willing to give up Merlimau seat if inverted flag case burdens UMNO

 

MADANI backers have ridiculed firebrand UMNO Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh for putting up “emotional theatrics display” with his preparedness not to defend his Merlimau state in the Nov 14 Melaka state election if his Penang court case becomes a liability to UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN).

This follows the prosecution having rejected a representation by the self-proclaimed staunch defender of race and religion to drop a criminal charge against him for causing public fear in relation to the upside down Jalur Gemilang incident in Kepala Batas, Penang during the run-up to the 2025 Merdeka Day.

“I’ve frankly informed the (UMNO) president that I’m willing not to contest if my case becomes something that could tarnish the party’s name, thus considered a burden on the party’s chances of winning,” he told reporters at the Bukit Mertajam Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Oct 26).

On Aug 22 last year, the 38-year-old Merlimau state assemblyman who is popular with his “No Fear, No Surrender” tagline pleaded not guilty to a charge of making a statement on Facebook that allegedly caused public fear.

The charge was brought under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code which provides for a maximum jail sentence of two years or a fine or both upon conviction.

Editor’s Note: Akmal’s lead counsel Aizat Azam said the defence would submit a second representation directly to the Attorney-General (A-G).

State prosecution director Muna Mohamed Jaafar said the prosecution had no objection to the defence submitting another representation.

“I’ll personally forward the representation to the Attorney-General (AG),” she pointed out while magistrate Roshayati Radellah has fixed Jan 4 next year for the decision on the representation.

On June 11, it was reported that Akmal had filed a judicial review to challenge the A-G’s decision to charge him.

The main issues raised included allegations of selective prosecution, inconsistent treatment of people in similar circumstances (inaction against the person alleged to be flying an upside-down flag) and whether the prosecution was consistent with the guarantee of equality before the law under Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.

Don’t dare to face DAP in straight contest

Given that this is the second court case involving the Melaka state EXCO so soon after he was ordered by the Melaka High Court to pay RM300,000 to DAP veteran and six-term Seputeh MP Teresa Kok after losing a defamatory case, it is understandable that detractors wanted to get even with him.

Aside from the above pot shots, the Russia-trained medical doctor was teased from “simply opening his mouth” to “becoming joker of the day, almost the level of Jamal Jamban (Sungai Besar UMNO division head who lost a total of RM366,600 in a defamatory suit to Kok) to “putting up a teary drama”.

As it is, it remains to be seen if Akmal is serious about giving up his constituency this time around given his previous intention to resign from his post as the Rural Development, Agriculture and Food Security state EXCO on grounds of differences with DAP was rejected by Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.

This is when a pro-Madani political portal took a swipe at Akmal for ‘chickening out’ from contesting against DAP in the forthcoming Melaka state polls after losing in Kok’s civil suit.

He used to be a tough guy. When it comes to DAP, he has been one of the most outspoken individual. If possible, he wants to fight everything. He can’t see a DAP leader, he just has the capital to shoot.

But when election season comes, it seems that Merlimau remains his ultimate choice. 🤭

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with defending his own seat. That’s his right as the incumbent.

But the rakyat may wonder if he has been so confident in their support for his fight against DAP, why not test that popularity in the constituencies contested by DAP?

Akmal is poised to face Melaka Amanah Women’s chief Rahayu Hamzah a.k.a. Ayu Hamzah in the contest for the Merlimau seat come the 16th Melaka state polls. – Oct 27, 2026
