There is a Jenaka in the Celaka


For some reason or other , koochi moochi read this page out loud .
After my ears started bleeding 
, I snatched the book from him and then my eyes nearly popped out .

Found fault with the word
 " Kecelakaan "
 in this language guidebook meant for Chinese school students .

 Co written by a Malay lady and Chinese lady mind you , the word 
" kemalangan " would have been more appropriate . 
If both authors really found the need to utilise the word Kecelakaan , it shouldn't have been repeated so many times .
7 times to be exact . 
That's not just way too many times , that is plain and downright Celaka kali tujuh .
