COMMENT | I’m a funny guy, or so I think I am, and if you all don’t agree, well, at least my kids think I am. But then again, my eldest, who is already a teenager, scoffs at my jokes rather than laugh these days.

Ah well, teenagers! They all have a warped sense of humour anyway. At least, they actually still have a sense of humour, which is more than can be said for most Malaysians.

Comedy, humour and satire is one of the most basic elements of freedom of expression and speech in human civilisation.
