Speaker A
Yo! Apa khabar Kuala Lumpur?
00:29
Speaker A
That's as much Malay you'll get from me, lah.
00:34
Speaker A
Thank you for coming out here, it's a 3:30, 3:30 p.m. and you still made it.
00:42
Speaker A
So good on you, and it's a very diverse audience, I know you guys can't see from upstairs, but there's one, two, three bald guys, like four.
00:57
Speaker A
It's, it's a very inclusive audience, you know.
01:00
Speaker A
Let go.
01:01
Speaker A
This is crazy.
01:02
Speaker A
I just moved to Malaysia.
01:04
Speaker A
Yeah.
01:05
Speaker A
And, yeah, and, um, this is a very bald-friendly country.
01:10
Speaker A
It is.
01:11
Speaker A
It caters very well to the bald man because I get my head shaved every three days.
01:17
Speaker A
At a South Indian barber.
01:18
Speaker A
Yeah.
01:19
Speaker A
And the South Indian barbers in Malaysia, it's a uniquely Malaysian experience for a bald man.
01:25
Speaker A
If you have hair, you have no idea how good it feels to feel the South Indian blade just scrape through your scalp.
01:32
Speaker A
The scra, scra.
01:34
Speaker A
And then the massage afterwards.
01:36
Speaker A
I don't know if he's angry at me or not, he's just slapping my head.
01:40
Speaker A
Just, pak, pak, pak.
01:42
Speaker A
Bodoh punya.
01:43
Speaker A
Nice.
01:45
Speaker A
But can I just say it's like low-key, low-key, like a gay experience.
01:49
Speaker A
Quite gay, quite gay.
01:50
Speaker A
And this is when I know that it felt a bit gay.
01:53
Speaker A
Cause he was shaving my beard, he was like shaving, and then like he tried to get this part here.
01:59
Speaker A
And then like he moved my loot to the side, like that.
02:02
Speaker A
And then our eyes met.
02:05
Speaker A
And that's not even the gay part, you know, it's our eyes met, he immediately went.
02:09
Speaker A
So like instinctively, I grabbed the back of his neck, you know.
02:14
Speaker A
So now we are both in this weird embrace, I'm here, he's here, I'm like that.
02:18
Speaker A
And then he slowly moves the blade to my neck, I say, let go, child.
02:22
Speaker A
Oh, sorry, sorry.
02:24
Speaker A
Sorry.
02:25
Speaker A
I thought we were sharing a moment.
02:27
Speaker A
Sorry.
02:28
Speaker A
My bad, my bad, my bad.
02:30
Speaker A
Um, yes, I've moved, I've moved back to Malaysia.
02:36
Speaker A
Um, I was here when in secondary school growing up, but now I'm back here in Malaysia.
02:42
Speaker A
And I feel like I have to reconnect with my cultural roots.
02:48
Speaker A
And, you know, reconnect with the people in Malaysia.
02:53
Speaker A
Uh, and because of that, I choose to just live the humble life, you know.
02:59
Speaker A
And I chose to live a humble life in Mont Kiara.
03:06
Speaker A
I mean, okay, I know you guys are looking at me a little strange.
03:10
Speaker A
But, but get this, okay.
03:13
Speaker A
I grew up in Masjid Tanah, Melaka, that was a very rough neighborhood.
03:20
Speaker A
But then I moved to Singapore for about 14, 15 years.
03:24
Speaker A
I've officially been softened and domesticated already.
03:27
Speaker A
If you want to move me back to Malaysia, you, yeah, Mont Kiara is the right place.
03:33
Speaker A
You cannot just throw me to Shah Alam, bro.
03:36
Speaker A
You cannot.
03:38
Speaker A
I have to re-assimilate, you understand?
03:40
Speaker A
All I'm saying is slowly, slowly, slowly.
03:43
Speaker A
We'll move out after a while.
03:46
Speaker A
I drive a Malaysian plate now, and can I just say that when you drive a Malaysian plate,
03:50
Speaker A
compared to a Singapore plate, which is what I used to drive back then,
03:56
Speaker A
my life now has been significantly better.
04:00
Speaker A
On the road.
04:01
Speaker A
Like significantly better.
04:04
Speaker A
When you drive a Singapore car on the roads of Kuala Lumpur,
04:10
Speaker A
you don't have to tell me that you don't like me.
04:14
Speaker A
I can feel it.
04:17
Speaker A
From inside the car, I can feel it, you know.
04:20
Speaker A
Like there's no room for error.
04:23
Speaker A
The moment I go like, should I take this U-turn or should I not take it?
04:27
Speaker A
Peh!
04:29
Speaker A
Bodoh Singapore!
04:30
Speaker A
Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry.
04:32
Speaker A
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:35
Speaker A
Shit.
04:37
Speaker A
Every time I'm at the petrol station, you know, everyone.
04:40
Speaker A
Which one?
04:41
Speaker A
Which one?
04:41
Speaker A
Ha!
04:43
Speaker A
Which one?
04:46
Speaker A
Now I drive a Melaka car, I can be in between two lanes.
04:51
Speaker A
The car behind me just goes, ah, we all make mistakes.
04:54
Speaker A
Kita jaga kita, eh.
04:59
Speaker A
It's great.
05:00
Speaker A
My life's been all right.
05:02
Speaker A
It's my dad's car, and even though he can't drive it anymore, he told me that he wants to keep it the way it is.
05:08
Speaker A
So I know it means a lot to him, so I kept it the way it is.
05:11
Speaker A
It's a very Malay uncle car.
05:14
Speaker A
Okay, it has a compartment where you keep the songkok.
05:17
Speaker A
Right?
05:19
Speaker A
And the songkok is still there.
05:20
Speaker A
I kept it there.
05:21
Speaker A
There is a porcelain vase.
05:23
Speaker A
I don't know why.
05:25
Speaker A
Malay people love porcelain vases.
05:27
Speaker A
And then at the back, there is a decal that says, Alhamdulillah.
05:33
Speaker A
But the A is the Avengers A.
05:42
Speaker A
Yeah.
05:43
Speaker A
Ori, bro.
05:45
Speaker A
Which is that.
05:46
Speaker A
I drive that car now.
05:47
Speaker A
And can I just say that it is a roadblock-proof car.
05:53
Speaker A
I have never been stopped at a roadblock driving that car.
05:57
Speaker A
That, that is the best, right?
05:58
Speaker A
Every time I see there's a roadblock, I'm like, oh, shit, roadblock.
06:02
Speaker A
Okay, stand by, songkok.
06:06
Speaker A
Right.
06:07
Speaker A
Check.
06:08
Speaker A
Alhamdulillah.
06:11
Speaker A
Time to turn on some Maher Zain.
06:15
Speaker A
As we approach the police, Inshallah.
06:20
Speaker A
Inshallah.
06:22
Speaker A
Inshallah.
06:24
Speaker A
And when I see the police officer, we don't even exchange words.
06:29
Speaker A
We just exchange Malay sounds.
06:32
Speaker A
Have you seen two Malay people not exchange words?
06:37
Speaker A
Just Malay sounds.
06:39
Speaker A
Right?
