Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Parliament house.; one from Em-Ai-See another from Em-See-Ay and the third, from Am-Noh. They went with a government official to examine the fence.                          
                                                                           
The Em-Ai-See contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then, works some figures with a pencil. 'Well', he says, 'I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.'                                                                  
                                                                           
The Em-See-Ay contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says, 'I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.'                                                           
                                                                           
The  Am-Noh contractor doesn't measure or figure but leans over to the
Government official and whispers, '$2,700'.                               
                                                                           
The official, incredulous, whispers, 'You didn't even measure like the    
other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?'                 
                                                                           
The Am-Noh contractor whispers back, '$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from  MCA  to fix the fence.'

'Done!' replies the government official.

And that friends, is how it all works in Maraysiah. It's Maraysiah, NOT Malaysia.
