This happened many years back when Dr M was the PM of Malaysia and Bill Clinton was the president of USA.
Have you seen the Made-in-Malaysia car “Kancil”? You know, that very little 600 cc car ?
Well Dr M really wanted to sell it to the US, so when Dr M paid a visit to the White House after finishing formal discussions with Clinton, Dr M checks with Bill to find out if there is a way to sell the Kancil in the USA.
After having looked at the brochure, Bill said, “You know, I think this ‘Kernchill’ is too small for us Americans.”
Not one who gives up easily, Dr M persisted and finally Clinton offered, “Ok, take this number down. This guy is my good buddy and he’s also the CEO of the biggest compact car distributor in North America”.
Dr M was satisfied with the meeting and returns to Malaysia.
The next day he called the number and a lady answered, “TOYS R US”, Can I help you?”


Toys R Us….haha…good one
