Malaysian Government offended yet again
Oh-oh. Here we go again. First, it was the slums scene in the Sean Connery flick 'Entrapment' which had Mahathir* railing against it, then there was 'Zoolander' a movie about male models with its depiction of the Malaysian Prime Minister. Now, a humourous and highly popular British automobile show, Top Gear, gets it for deriding the Perodua Kelisa, a Malaysian sub-compact, on its programme.
Quote from BBC News:
"Jeremy Clarkson thinks Perodua Kelisa sounds like a disease. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has come under attack in the Malaysian parliament for labelling one of the country's cars the worst in the world. "
More:
"Mr Clarkson has voiced his frustrations with the small three-cylinder model in both magazine articles and on the Top Gear motoring show.
In one article, he said its name was like a disease and suggested it was built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes.
And on the show, he described it as "unimaginative junk, with no soul, no flair and no passion".
He then smashed it, hung it from a crane with a one-tonne weight attached, before blowing it up."
Hahahaha. Too funny.
And of course, there is that military comedy north of Malaysia. Kinda like MASH if you know what I mean...
*He had expressed strong anti-Jewish statements loudly again and again in his long political career.

Freud calls this 'projection'.
In this case, for someone who has low self esteem, even when one didn't intend it that way, they will say that others are looking down on them.
Says alot about Malaysia's view of itself. - NO SELF ESTEEM.
Since we know that one of their leader was an Indian Muslim, maybe he had to compensate by being more 'Malay' than the Malays...
People have no choice but to choose Perdua Kelisa due to low income and high tax for all cars foreign and guess what the other worst one is Proton the so called national car.
