Ku char mata ...

• Often heard among locals, " Ku char mata chengh tuay kor." ("Last time police wore shorts.")


• When I was a National Serviceman at Paya Lebar Police Station, my corporals and sergeants, those who wore chuli-ayam khaki shorts and over-sized batons swore that Abdullah 37 was one the best. She reputedly was the one who smoked Abdullah 37 with the other lips.
