The Real Reason Anwar Ibrahim was kicked out (Joke)

One day, SM Lee and Mahathir were drinking tea at a coffee shop when Dr. M asked SM Lee, “ Eh, Ah Lee ah, There’s one question that’s been bugging me for a long time now, I hope you can answer me – How come all this while, your plans for Singapore always run so smoothly?”


With that SM Lee grinned widely and replied, “ You know why or not, Mat? Because I have many smart ministers working for me. You don’t believe I show you.”


SM Lee then turned back and waved to one of the guys on the opposite table, “ Eh, Tony Tan come over here!”


In a flash Tony came over. SM Lee asked, “ Tony, I ask you, who’s your father’s son?” In a split second, almost barely without thinking, Tony Tan answered, “ Sir, it's me.”


And with that reply, SM Lee turned back to Mahathir grinning even more widely and said, “See?” Mahathir just stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.


After they parted, this issue continued to weigh heavily on Mahathir’s mind. He was thinking, “ Shit, I can’t lose out to Ah Lee! I must test my men too.”


The next day, he summoned his (then) right-hand man, Anwar to his office. Mahathir asked him seriously, “Yes, answer me this question, who is your father’s son?”


Anwar was taken aback by the question, and for a minute or so, he just stood there with sweat rolling down his forehead. He did not know the answer.


After what seemed like an eternity to him, Anwar finally offered the standard political answer, “ Boss, this is a complex question which requires me to conduct a research study and draw out a preliminary paper. I need 3 days to give you an answer, is it ok with you?”


Mathathir agreed, thinking that as long as he could give the correct answer, 3 days should be acceptable.


Anwar rushed back home and called all his kakis but no one could give him an answer. Finally, he called Bill Clinton, “Bill, I am in deep shit. You have to help me, man! Who is my father’s son?”


Bill, who at that point in time was busy with another intern in his special windowless office in the White House discussing “politics”, was impatient and frustrated. He replied, “Anwar, I am busy f**king now, errr, no no…I mean I am f**king busy now, call me later.”


But Anwar persisted and didn’t want to hang up till he got the answer. “Who’s my father’s son? Bill, please tell me!”


Finally out of frustration, Bill replied, “ It's me, lah!”, and slammed down the phone.


Anwar now grinningly went back to see Dr. M. “ Boss, after 2 sleepless night of endless research and proposal writing, I have finally come up with the answer to your thought-provoking question. The answer to the question ' who is my father’s son' is Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is my father’s son.”


With that, Mahathir let out a deep sigh and shook his head with much disappointment and replied, “ That’s why we are always one step behind Singapore! Anwar, you are not smart enough – the correct answer is Tony Tan!”
