An old kampong imam had a teenage son, and it was getting time the
boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many
young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do,
and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was
away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into
the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects.
1. The Holy Book.
2. A fifty ringgit note.
3. A bottle of whiskey.
4. And a Playboy magazine.

'I'll just hide behind the door," the old imam said to himself. "When
he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up."
"If it's the holy book, he's going to be an imam like me, and what a
blessing that would be!"
"If he picks up the fifty ringgit note, he's going to be a business
man, and that would be okay, too."
"But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken
bum, and God, what a shame that would be." "And worst of all if he
picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as
he entered the house whistling and heading for his room.. The boy
tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he
spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he
walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Holy Book and placed it under his arm. He
picked up the fifty ringgit note and dropped into his pocket. He
uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired the
magazine's centerfold. "God have mercy," the old imam disgustedly
whispered. "He's gonna run for UMNO Supreme Council ! "
