The Chinatown of old all the Malays or Indians working amongst the chinese there can speak Chinese dialects like a native.
Even you got to the businesses in serangoon road especially the goldsmith and see them speak fluent Tamil.

I guess you are right, I dare not eat any bak chang when I am in Malaysia wether or not in JB, after a few tries of that in JB that gave me bad tummyache & 'lao sai'. It started off with the Holiday Inn Shopping centre days of "pirate" goods, there used to be a street vendorin his side car full of bak chang, that got me curious to try. So I bought some, ate one in JB the other in SINgapore, I had the runs after 8 hours. I thought maybe tummy not used to the bak chang, so on a few occasions in JB, bought Bak Chang to eat, same thing happened..so I swear that I won't eat any in Malaysia...you are right, don't know how old that Bak Chang was & waht MEAT goes into it!:p

bak chang festival is also known as TUAN WU JIE in remembrance of a patriotic poet - chu yuan, i think his name was who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. the peasants prayed to him by offering polished rice wrapped - bak chang -in bamboo leaves and thrown into the sea. the bamboo leaves wrapper prevented the fishes from devouring the offering and henceforth BAK CHANG FESTIVAL was born.

It simply ridiculous to honor such a idiot like Chu Yuan, he should have just follow the exemplary examples of our great leaders...money not enough don't do lor.

The difference is, we throw Bak Chang or eat, in honour of Chu Yuan, but we would like to throw the hardest, 30 days old bak changs at our great leaders.... ha ha ha ha

Where to find bricks? last time can get one from garden & the marking is "Jurong", flower pot made of plastic! very few earthen or porcelin ones...bak chang can only afford the 10 for $5 ones, must keep for 30 days..

our great leeder would want very expen$ive bak chang such as bird's nest, sharksfin, abalone or the likes in value. anyway, i doubt they value a simple feast of traditional bak chang. don't forget our great leeders all live in high ivory tower and if u see them eating in hawker centres, something is definitely NOT RIGHT when they are all being paid in million$ n eating in humble peasants' eateries.

this is a very wicked idea i m going to share with u.

pee into triangular plastic. tie it tightly and freeze it in fridge freezer. when hardened into ice, it looks like a golden bak chang. now u can offer that to any great leedgers loitering below our flats. get the naughty picture?

Aiyah! you believe in that shit! this is some Mediacorpse procuction lah!...all arranged one! where you can find these people, who can fly the chef from Timbuktu with a click of a finger to SINgapore, and cook on the spot at their pleasure, eat at Hawker's Centre...just like one of my ex-collegue...bought a packet of "Lobster Crackers" happy like___!, for $1.80...I pointed out " LOBSTER" brand, prawn crackers, ha ha ha ha...same here the packet says 'LOBSTER"..buyers beware! caveat emptor!

there could only be 3 reasons (or motives) behind the happy familee eating in hawker centre scene:

1. it's about time to raise their million$ pay to another obscenerer level
2. wayanging to opera the nation that they might be filthy rich but they do eat at hawker centre ( that would be after the director yelled:....AND..ACTION! and the camera started rolling)
3. to clarify that even though living in high IVORY TOWER, once a while they would gladly lower themselves to the level of peasants and do some great PR stunts.

In Sinkapore we honor those who jump off the MBS or into bedok reservoir.
