Evening time. At a traffic light junction.
Old man: Assalamu’alaikum.
NunBun: Wa’alaikum salam.
Old man: So who are you? (In Tamil)
NunBun: (Pauses for a while, taken aback by the question) I used to stay at Bukit Purmei, and now I stay at Kim Tian…
Old man: No no… I asked who you are. Your name, your family name and so on.
NunBun: (Smiles) Well. I am one of those whom you call “Veliyoor” (foreigners). Imagine, being called a foreigner when I’m Singaporean! (fakes a laugh)
Old man: Oh. No problem with that. That’s ok.
End

haha....what a conversation!...next time you should ask back the question to anyone who ask you. Actaully we are not 'veliyoor'...it's just that Singapore is dominated by that group of Indian Muslims (no offence ah). We they were to go to our 'yooru' they would be called 'veliyoor'...i get this kind of question too...I don't know why it's so important...anway bro are you going for any of Shaykh Khalil Moore lectures?
