(Ong Ka Ting on LRT. Photo from The Star, March 8, 2006)(Passenger with tie: "Baarger! Najib should have done this first la. Miss la. Ape hal le lu?)
(Woman passenger thinking: "So hemsome he."
(Man behind OKT: "F**K! Forgot my deodorant again!")
They are actually doing it!!! Well, one of them anyway. MCA prez and Minister, Ong Ka Ting was pictured in The Star today riding the LRT to his meeting in Jalan Ampang. This is leadership by example of the finest degree. His leader speaks, he makes the example. LOL...sorry couldn't resist that one. My first thought when I saw the photo today was to poo-poo it as a PR stunt. But on second thought, I also thought that it was a step, however small, in our VIP's realisation process that they should show by example rather than spew advice ad-nauseum. However, my cynical side still believes that this is just a PR stunt. Riding the LRT in a suit and tie among the rest of the long suffering raayat? Who is the PR person? Sack him/her. I remember that when the MCA leaders meet with members all these flers would wear their short sleeved white shirts. White=I am pure as snow. Trust me. Short sleeved shirt=I am just like you. A working slob. But once you elect me, it's Zegna suits and Gucci ties. Sorry la, have to look good for the TV camera ma.
But it is good la. If all the VIP's put their money where their mouths are and take public transport to work and be with the raayat I am sure that would go a long way in making things better. LRT's would not dare be late, dirty, rude etc. if VIP's are regular users. Or would they? But then ah...if VIP's use public transport they would be accompanied by all their minders who would push people aside, blare their sirens and generally be pains in the ass. Wouldn't they? Well, we shall see. Not that it's going to happen sometime soon la:-)
Meanwhile, here's a contest. Look at the photo of OKT on the LRT with the raayat. Caption it. What is he saying? What are the other passengers saying? Be creative. The best caption, judges' (TV Smith and Patrick Teoh) decision is final, wins any ONE of the following prizes:-
1. Satay dinner and teh tarik for you and your partner with TV Smith and Patrick Teoh at Studio 5, Ampang Jaya.
2. 2 tickets to the KLPAC production of Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming", March 24 to April 2, 2006.
3. A visit from TV Smith and Patrick Teoh AND the King of Malaysian Bloggers, Jeff Ooi to your town of residence to buy you and your partner a dinner and teh tarik and maybe tok some kok. Peninsula Malaysia only. Sorry.
4. The name and address of Ong Ka Ting's tailor.
Rules:
No anonymous posts. These will be deleted. If you don't have a blogger account use the tab "Other".
No personal attacks, gay bashing etc. These will be deleted.
Keep it clean. Keep it real. Keep it funny.
CONTEST ENDS March 15, 2006. Results here on March 19, 2006.
Go crazy guys!
p/s I don't think that Najib is going to be seen on the LRT or RapidKL busses real soon. Might crease his Hugo Boss suit.

Do you know the way to Wisma MCA?
(now in his standard OKT English)
Seriously, my deputy said this LRT stops betul-betul in front of the Wisma. So convenient mah! But I've been standing ... and smiling to camera for last 20 minutes, still not there. That Chan Kok Choy pulling my leg again ah?
Everyone else: (smiling outside, crying inside)
Malaysian Politicians!
OKT: We improving transport such as this one with the RM4.4 bil saved from the fuel subsidy.
Pax L to R:

Pax 3: We'll save more if we cancel PORR!
OKT: eh u all like my suit aaa?just bot it at petaling street lor..very cheap one. gaya mau maintain lor...
Bald man : Sorry, YB, cannot shake hands. My hands too smelly.
Man standing behind OKT : So that's where the smell is coming from. Not from my armpit. Phew!
OKT : Aiya, your house also got stinky water, ah? Mine too. Tch.. tch..
Woman : You look like TV Smith, if only you got more hair.
Man with tie : Mana ada! He looks like Patrick Teoh, if only he got more flesh.
OKT : Who is TV Smith and Patrick Teoh? Are they tv stars ah? I bet they don't take LRT to work. (To himself : or wear dapper suits like me, hehe...)
OKT: Why I never see you here before ah?
LOL .. thanks for pointing out "by-standers" ... I actually didn't pay much attention to the "others" in the background ... just thought it was another PR exercise on OKT's side. Aiyo ... so funny ... but beware ... you might get accused of pointing out too much on these LRT rides .. much like the Yasmin Ahmad-saga of that "courtesy on LRT"??
OKT: Alright guys lets all smile and make this look real for cameraman. We'll all then get back into the office and I'll sign off your special leave applications...
Man Behind OKT: Ahhhh Virgin on the train….Mont Blanc pen and pencil in the shirt pocket, wallet in the back pocket, Rolex Gold watch, wah…Fuel Voucher…my lucky day….
Bald Man on Bench: Bugger, first he increased the price of gas, then he comes into my territory and dress like that to steal my women, these people have to morals…..
OKT: weeiii…..why is everyone starring at me….is my fly open again…must speak to tailor about pull up pants…
OKT: ….now if you were to hold the pole like this and imagine that it’s a gas pump and you are refueling the dream car that you can not afford because the tax on it is soooo high, you will get this sensation that the LRT carriage you are traveling in is NOT really a LRT carriage but the dream car that you want….
OKT: I'm working with Pak Lah, u know...
Passengers: Yeah, we know...we want to work with him too...can ask him to take the LRT too ah?
OKT: "Wa mau turun next stop... mana itu loceng aaa?"
OKT: Can You believe this? A prominent minister standing on the LRT for 10 minutes and the people around don't seem to take notice!What happen to our Rakyat nowadays!
MAN WITH TIE: Hey,You better go back to the KAYALAND where you belong. What are you trying to proof here!
BALD HEAD MAN: His mission here today is to convey a message to the Rakyat that a 30 cent increase has hurt the pocket of a minister so much that they are forced to change their lifestyle.
LADY : BULLSHIT! Puuuih!
OKT: Ah...you all no need say so much about the petrol increament liao lar...Just fashion your head bald like this fler la.. then you save some on shampoo loh!!
Specky Lady: Har.... you siao arr.. he he (control macho *pose)
White Shirt Guy: Say so much, you do 1st lar.. then i follow...
Green Shirt botak: Why take me become sample jek..... shy ler.. *malu kepik thighs*
Man behind: Aiyah! dont talk so much la... see me pose better.
OKT:So you see ah, public transport like this LRT is quite convenient and comfortable. I don't see why the the rakyat would complain so much about using public transport.
Sitting Penangite, Sarawakian & Sabahan Passenger: (thinking & smiling)"Probably he should do this stunt using the public transport in our State'.
New Yorker guy behind OKT:"Gee whiz, they were not joking when they said Selangor is a developed State, even the conductors here wear suits and name tags. I am impressed."
OKT: "Thank God the Press followed me here....or else they would have a field day if they know my maid has gone to the market with my official car".

discovery channel narration...only in boleh land we find this rare specifimen of OKT on LRT... just look at the beautiful colours he has, all grey, all suited up...
OKT: Lucky this is just a publicity shot for today's paper. Tomorrow, it's back in the comfy confines of my chauffeur-driven BMW. Everybody else, outta my way! Lucky my PR didn't suggest doing this on a Rapid KL bus.
Man next to OKT: Publicity or no publicity, did he pay for his ticket or not?
Woman: Should I tell him MCA's days are numbered or not? How to promote a true bangsa Malaysia when the ruling government is divided across ethnic lines? Will I get arrested if I throw all this in his face? Ewww have to smile for the camera some more. Why are we so stupid, being used by a politician to show he's an everyday person...
Man with tie: So hypocritical. If we were at a function, the people would be forced to get up for this VIP. Here, for the camera, they insist we sit down to show the VIP also like commoner.

Real Malaysian Idol on LRT
OKT: "... she bang... she bang... uh.. how did I fair judges?"
Judge#1 (botak): "hmmmm... I think you are a bit "fake", but good try!"
Judge#2 (lady): "... ya.. you got style.. I like your outlook but... you need to work harder if you want to imitate Willian Hung... well good try, I'll let the audience decide."
Audience behind OKT (thinking to himself): "I think my style betterlah... don't you guys think so?"
Judge#3 (man in tie): "nope... nope... that's the worst crap I've ever heard... my dog can sing better... no! no!"
OKT (disappointed): ".. apa?... saya pun boleh yanyi punya mah... KNNCCB!"
The Man in the fancy Grey suit,
Thinks he's one heck of a dude,
To all and sundry his 'charm' he did ply.
The lady rebuke:
"If you want to daily commute,
Then you must learn how to zip up your fly".
The man with a smile so sweet,
Graciously declined a seat,
To preserve the harmony.
"I prefer to stand on my feet,
Because I'll fart when I sit,
Everyone will know its me".
Woman passenger : "Thanks for offering me your seat, handsome. A bit tight though because these two guys sit like they have a log between their legs!"
OKT : "We should all adapt to our surroundings but I must say this guy here do have a, ah, a, ah...."
Bald man : "Aiyah, don't talk about me lah"
Passenger with tie thinking (doing a scene from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy) : "That tie doesn't go with his suit at all!"
Man behind OKT thinking (and trying to look cool) : "Great, while everyone is distracted, I'll pick his pocket!"
Brader Botak: "Eh Datok Seri, Tan Sri er (whatever), apa hal dato' naik lrt ni? Buang Tebiat ke apa"
OKT: "Oh Saya saja nak merasa naik Putra Lrt ni... rakyat jelata komplain, slow lah, mahal lah, sempit lah, ni saya tengok takde masalah pun, tgk ni saya berdiri lama pun tak berpeluh...pakai kot lagi"
Awek Baju Putih: " eh datuk, ni dah pukul berapa, dah tak ramai orang.. by the way datuk, nak pergi mana ni?"
OKT: 'Oh Saya ada meeting lah... jangan banyak tanya, nanti aku lesing karang... btw saya rasa perkhidmatan ini bagus, maklumlah ini adalah projek dari Kerajaan BArisan Nasional"
Brader Botak: "satu soalan check mate, datuk seri? tadi datuk bayar tiket ni brape Ringgit, datuk tak terasa mahal ke untuk kami ni rakyat biasa"
OKT: "er mintak maaflah rakyat jelata, saya pun tak tahu harga tambang LRT ni..al maklumlah saya kan menteri, naik free, gaji 3bulan lepas pun tak sentuh lagi...ehehhee"
Brader Pakai Tie: " Ahhh...poyo betol datuk ni...sama mcm menteri lain...poyo..."
Brader Berlagak Macho Pakai baju biru: " Haih...apalaaa bongok sangat boss aku nii"
Awek Cun Baju Jingga "Damn.. aku dah suruh dah Datuk hafal harga tambang semua destination sejak minggu lepas...apalaaa lembab!"
Man with tie: Don't tell me this is the first VIP Reality show ah?
Man With tie:Hi YB, I wonder would you have the return trip the same way?
OKT:ermmm
Lady: Where's your chauffer driven limo?
OKT: Ahhhhh...
Bald guy:I am sure YB's Limo must have driven to the destination awaiting YB for the return trip.
OKT: ohhhh...
Man Behind:Hohhh that's really fuel saving. An empty limo driven all the way from Putra Jaya to await YB for this `fuel saving campaigne'.
The upstanding & stand-upping Housing and Local Government minister demonstrates his genius in city planning:
("Where got susah? Just go to work after the crowd is gone-lah!")
OKT: Boss #2 say change lifestyle .. i dohwan .. so I work part-time GQ model and today got shoot foto ..

Got yamcha tokkok finelah... dun have oso takpa... I have to work to feed myself mah... no AP allocations..
OKT: Hi everybody! Glad to see you good people!
T-shirt man: Ah! How do you come on board?
Woman: Ae! How come reporters also here?
OKT: Oh! This is first time I use public transport to travel from Putrajaya to Jalan Ampang.
Woman: Then, how come reporters also here?
OKT: I don't knowlah! You know I am a VIP ma.
Tie-man: Oh! Then, how do you travel from your Damansara office to Putrajaya?
OKT: My driver send me there, of course!
Woman: Where are you going?

Woman: Ai yo! You waste petrollah!
Tie-man: Ai yo! You such a jokerlah!
T-shirt man: Ai yo! What a waste! You should ask your driver to give us a ridelah!
Passengers around: I see, it is just a cheap way for politicians to get publicity.
OKT: I must be on the wrong train!
