"Portklang-nisation"
Contributed by President Toh
I was perusing the comments just now and I came across the word “portklang-nised” under the comments for “Hey, brothers!”.
I checked the oxford-paperback dictionary to get the definition of “portklang-nisation”. Guess what, I found it and bellow is the official meaning of “portklang-nise”.
“Portklangnise” [verb] To develop and share the same characteristic of port klang rotaractors i.e. become mildly insane, able to respond quickly to jokes, enjoy hanging around after a formal meeting, pay monthly dues promptly”
I was not satisfied by the meaning given by the paperback dictionary which is normally too concise or simplistic. So I went ransacking the law library and found “Dictionary for Advanced Medical Students”. I tried my luck and to my utter shock, there is one whole page written about “Portklangitis” which is a rare disease found only in a small area called “Teluk Pulai” Klang.
For the benefit of all the readers of this blog, let me reproduce word for word what was written on the dictionary about “Portklangitis”.

Hey Harnniann,
I think you will scare all your potential patients away... cos everyone might be so afraid to get Portklangitis.
I have a sense that those existing patients already immuned and get another type of disease called Sado- MasoPortklangitistic...;)
ohh, perhaps i should explain as to why i said that the existing patients contracted another type of disease called Sado-MasoPortklangitistic. (This is to avoid readers from thinking that it was a bad word ).It was because those existing patients are so happy to be part of the Portklangitis' patients despite all the "suffering" of those symptoms...
nice, president! :)
maybe should update my old dictionary that i just bought last month. haih...
TERRIFYING!

Zeekin, if your dictionary does not have the word "portklangnise" it means that it's time to buy another new one.
You have to be careful. Buy only the latest edition as the word "portklangnise" only exist after 17th May 2005.
Postklangitis is a rare disease so the its side effect is not fully known. About my GP told me that if you have more than 5 of the symptoms, you suffer portklangitis and it is unfortunately incurable
Hey, really nice post! I love this one!!
Aiyoo...can I still "keep" this disease after I am 30? Haha... :x
Tim
Tim,
then your portklangitis had developed into second stage:- "Sado- Maso Portklangitistic" (SMP)
In another words, you enjoy being "portklangnised" and refuse to be "de-portklangnised"
That's dangerous and might be fatal. Better seek advice from Specialist called IPP Mike or Dr Sivaraj.
As to follow on Tim's (statement,
i think should this phrase make a real statement then dewan bahasa & pustaka (which is the national dictionary) will be switched to another brand name which is
--->"Dewan Lentang and Pustaka"
Nice! Where you get this guestbook? I want the same script.. Awesome content. thankyou.
