Abdul grew up in Kota Baru, a town located on the East Coast of
Malaysia,and then moved away to Kuala Lumpur to do his law degree in order
to fill up the Bumiputra quota. He decided to go back to Kota Baru, because
he ould be a big man and really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and opened his new law office. On the very first day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk towards his office. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to the door, Abdul picked up the phone. He
motioned the man in, all the while talking. "No. Absolutely no. You
tell those clowns in Kuala Lumpur that I won't settle this case for less
than one million ringgit. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that
case ext week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other
members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the State Prosecutor that
I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."

This sort of thing went on for almost ten minutes.

All the while the man sat patiently as Abdul rattled instructions.
Finally, Abdul put down the phone and turned to the man. "I'm sorry
for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for
you ?" The man replied "I'm from Telekoms and I've come to connect your
telephone line".
