读了之后我一直在嘻嘻地笑个不停:
.
While walking down the street one day a Malaysian Boleh
Minister is
tragically hit by a
truck and dies.
.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the
entrance.
.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before
you settle in, it seems
there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around
these parts,
you see, so
we’re not sure what to do with you."
.
"No problem, just let me in," says the man.
.
"Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up.
What we’ll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven.
Then you can choose
where to spend eternity."
.
"Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in
heaven," says the Yang
Berhormat.
.
"I’m sorry, but we have our rules," says St. Peter.
.
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he
goes down,
down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in
the middle of
a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and
standing in front
of it are all his friends and other politicians who had
worked with him.
.
Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik
there is. They run
to greet him, shake
his hand, and reminisce about the good times they
had while getting
rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly
game of golf and
then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most
expensive food there is.
.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy
who has a good
time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
time that
before he realizes it, it is time to go.
.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the
elevator rises.
.
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven
where St.
Peter is waiting for him.
.
"Now it’ s time to visit heaven."
.
So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining
a group of contented
souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and
singing. They have
a good time
and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St.
Peter returns.
.
"Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in
heaven. Now choose
your eternity."
.
The Yang Berhormat reflects for a minute, then he
answers: "Well, I would
never have said it before, I mean heaven has been
delightful, but I think Ai
yam better
off in hell."
.
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to
hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the
middle of a barren
land covered with waste and garbage.
.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
trash and putting
it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his
shoulder.
.
"I don’t understand," stammers the Yang Berhormat.
"Yesterday I was here
and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate
lobster and caviar,
drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now
there’s just a
wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
.
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we
were campaigning
just like you during an election…… Today you
voted."
.
VOTE
WISELY
IN THE COMING
ELECTION
