    Why do the Timorese in Sabah claim to be bumiputera?

    February 21st, 2008

    UPDATE 21st February 2008:

    Apologies for not explaining the joke fully. In Kadazandusun language, “Om” means “And”, while at the same time everybody knows that “Om” is another word for “Timorese” :-)

    I hope you found that funny. To me, as long as they don’t cause social problems, they can sell all the fake Patek Gondolo watches they want.

    —————————————————–

    The Timorese in Sabah claim that Kadazandusun leaders have acknowledged them as bumiputra, because when asked, they said: “Mereka selalu cakap Kadazan Dusun Om Murut.”

    Wah… what logic is that?
    I am a Chinese. If I speak BM a lot, that will convert me to a Malay then.
