Mum : Lia, has your school taught you on Rukun Negara? (National Principles)

Lia stamped her feet to attention.

Lia : Yes, we have to stand very straight and repeat after teachers.

Mum : What have you learnt about it ?

Lia : Very hard to memorise but I remember Malaysia has many prawns !

Mum : Er ? Why ?

Lia : Kedaulatan Udang-udang! (The Rule of Prawns) It should be Kedaulatan UNdang UNdang which means the Rule of Law.
