"Mangkok"

Beauty and the Mangkok

What is “mangkok”?  It means bowl in English.   Every officer who works in the government deserves this title.   Literally in Malay it means the bowl will always contain food no matter whether you do your work or not.  That is the benefit when you got a job with the government.  But it is mostly used for Pengosa Custam like me.  Why I am eligible for the title?  It is because I don’t know how to do all my work without somebody else helping me and complete them on time.   I had been working with this style for the past 35 years and got many promotions by oppressing people.  Just take a good look at my face.  If you look carefully, you will notice that my face looks like a toilet bowl.   It doesn’t look like a normal bowl where only good food that can be eaten will be put in.  It looks exactly like a toilet bowl where only foods that have been transformed will be put in.   But who cares.   Even if my face looks like toilet a bowl, I can still got married to a beautiful woman.  What a wonderful life I have got!  A toilet bowl face, got promotions by oppressing people and a beautiful wife.  Don’t envy me.
