But ho, there is just one little problem. You see, Exora is actually a type of flower leh. You call it Ixora or Exora.

Normally this would not matter but like I said, there is a little problem. Since Exora is a type of flower, that also means that it is a type of vegetation aka plant aka "tumbuh tumbuhan". Agree?

Now, take a look at the terms and condition in both English aka "Bahasa Inggeris" and Malay aka "Bahasa Malaysia".

Notice anything? Maybe the part where it says:

"Penyertaan hendaklah sama ada dalam bahasa Malaysia atau bahasa Inggeris dan mestilah:-
- Tidak diambil daripada mana-mana nama binatang atau tumbuh-tumbuhan;"

or in English

Contest entry submissions must be in either Bahasa Malaysia or English only and must:-

- not consist of any form of the animal kingdom, or vegetation;

No, I am not talking about the lousy translation job. Get it yet? See aka "Tengok", got print screen.

English

Malay

Exactly. Since Exora is a type of flower aka plant aka vegetation aka "tumbuh tumbuhan", that means that the winner should be officially disqualified or not chosen at all. Correct? Ahem. Jeng Jeng Jeng.

Don't believe is flower ah? Google wor, some say is the best in the world and the universe wor.

Oh, well. Just pointing it out.

Anyway, I think they have external judges/auditors to pick the winner, so no conspiracy there. Ahem.

But ho, judges or auditors. Next time, remember to Google first mmmmkay. Googling always helps minimizing any potential mistakes. Ahem.

Then again, I could be wrong. Maybe a flower is not a vegetation or "tumbuh tumbuhan". But the education system says flower is a plant wor. Plant is not vegetation is it? My bad.

So, there you have it. The new Proton MPV is called Proton Exora. Not sure about the quality though. Like I said before, being a Proton pretty much sums it all. Ahem.

What do you think?
