this is a good one... :)
Battle of the Kiasus:
LKY was awoken at 4am by the telephone.
MOH: "Sir, it's the Minister of Health here. Sorry to bother you at this hour but there is an emergency! I've just received word that the Durex factory in Bukit Timah has been burnt to the ground. It is estimated that the entire Singapore supply of condoms will be gone by the end of the week."
LKY: "What a disaster! The economy will never be able to cope with all those unwanted babies - we'll be ruined! We're going to have to ship some condoms in from abroad..."
MOH: "Indonesia?"
LKY: "No chance!! The tabloids will have a field day on this one!"
MOH: "What about Malaysia?"
LKY: "Maybe - but we don't want them to know that we are stuck. Call their Prime Minister - tell him we need one million condoms; coloured white and red; ten inches long and eight inches thick! That way they'll know how big we really are!"
The poor chap called Dr. M, who agreed to help the kiasus out in their hour of need. Three days later a flight arrived in Changi airport - full of boxes.
The delighted LKY rushed out to open the boxes. He found condoms; 10 inches long; 8 inches thick, all coloured white and red. He then noticed in small writing on each and every one:
MADE IN MALAYSIA
SIZE: SMALL
