Or coming close to getting one. Or more likely than not for Malaysian, you probably “paid” your way out of it. I’m talking about a summon. More specifically a traffic or parking summons. Listen to my guests experience. How they get in and out of their samban.

Question: Do we actually write “Samban” in Chinese? I have seen “三万“ but not sure if it’s actually used?

What if they have things for you to do to finish their last wishes? How about if your office has ghosts that will mess with keyboards? One of our guests can actually see the deceased when he goes to people’s funerals and wakes. Come listen to our guests sharing their experience with the super natural.

And it’s also played by a bunch of real Hokkien lang. That’s why this production sparked my interests. I invited not only the cast, but also the writer and director to the show. We chatted about how this comedy came about and why is it fully in Hokkien.

I’m personally excited about this production, and I hope you will be too. Please go support the production. And actually bring your friends, even if they don’t speak Hokkien. There will be sub-title in English. I think having experience thes sound of the full Hokkien cast is going to be a great experience.

This week, I spent the entire episode chatting with him. Obviously I am impressed with his ability, interest, and knowledge about Hokkien. And I’m curious as to how and why he started learning Hokkien. Find out in this episode.

He has also agreed to share his studies and knowledge about Penang Hokkien with us on our website.

Go to a new segment on PGHK called Learn More About Penang Hokkien to read Michael’s article.

After you listen to this episode, actually, while you’re listening to this episode, head over to How to Write Hokkien in the Roman Alphabet – An-choaⁿ iong Ang-mo∙-ji sia Hok-kian-oa and learn the standard way of writing Penang Hokkien.
