Saw this posting
over the net...think its quite funny yet it depict the
"unwritten" nature for those who know what I meant in the
army...
...several hypotheses
which I gathered after conducting a series of intense and scholarly
empirical research on the levels of representation of the
Malays in the SAF.
Due to space constraints,
I will only list down three of them.
1. Malays’ absence in the Navy. Malay men generally cannot swim
because they cannot afford the swimming lessons when they were
young. In any case, they have to attend mengaji (Quranic recitation)
classes in the afternoons, soccer training on Saturdays and wedding
invitations on Sundays at different void decks.
2.
Malays’ absence in the Armour unit. It is medically proven that
Malay men are more likely to be afflicted with claustrophobia. They
hate enclosed spaces, which unfortunately include the armoured
vehicles of the SAF. Their propensity for spatial wealth instead of
material wealth can be seen in their natural ability to congregate
at void decks and the beaches of East Coast Parkway and
Changi.
3.
Malays’ nominal presence in the Air Force. This is the simplest
one- Malay men don’t aim for the sky, they aim for the stratosphere
after the sky, a.k.a. the hereafter. A Malaysian Malay proved it
recently by being the first Malay to space. Coincidentally, the
word hereafter can be referred to in spiritual terms. This
hypothesis strongly correlates with hypothesis
2.
