The Five Principles of Nationhood

New sem started today. ;(
Just came back from Malaysian Studies class.

One of my mates was questioned :
' What's the third of The Five Principles of Nationhood ? '

After getting stunned and discussing with friends.
He answered unfluently :
' Ke-luuu-huu-rrrraaann Peer-lem-baa-gga-ann '

The lecturer :
' What ? Can't you speak Malay well ? Are you from Hong Kong ? '
' Say it confident '

' Confident '

The whole class LOL-ed.

And after that he questioned again.
' What is the first of The Five Principles of Nationhood ? '

This time, without hesitation and being confident.
' TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN '

Gosh !
