I tell them that when I visit east Malaysia, I live on the big tree on the hill, plenty of food to hunt. We also have to send smoke signals to communicate with the rest of the world.

@sksk Congratulations. You are among the many who knows the truth. Then again, am I getting the vibe that people ask the question with a dose of sarcasm?

:lol: I tell you, I don’t know how long this myth is going on here… I heard of that question back 5 years ago, my sister studying at KL and people asked her about that question, until last year people ask me again…
