United Colors of Kuching

Now here’s a sight you don’t often get to see in Kuching.

The colours of the major different races sitting down at a table, playing Mahjong, of all games. 10 years ago this wouldn’t even be possible. Without us even noticing, Kuching is surely becoming more cosmopolitan.
This time next year, don’t be surprised if you see a black dude cooking laksa, or a white lady serving drinks at a hawker centre over here.

And by white lady, I don’t mean this drink called “white lady”.


Thank you ah, Arthur. First you wrestled the girls’ attention away from me during Rainforest Music Fest with your filthy good looks, and now you wanna reduce the number of girly fans I have from zero to negative. I hope you’re happy.

  5. wahaha…arthur sure got that right! cos i personally witness how nice your boobs are…i saw u while having dinner at xiang xiang fang last night, i wanna greet u but i think that would make u hao lian…no lah! cos i hate u for not replying my email!…no lah! cos i think its awkward to greet somebody who dont know me n i know a lot about him, n i think its better to leave u some space 🙂 …plus, my boyfriend might envy cos he dont have nice boobs like yours.

  6. That indian woman in pink looks befuddled, the one in brown looks pissed and the Mat Salleh woman is obviously checking someone out. Never had a white lady. Whats it made of?

  7. Hi Kenny
    I was staying in Kch was a few years in the late 90’s. I agree on how much it has change.
    I used to take bus rides around town, and people would stare at me after they hear me speak English. As thought as i was some damn foreigner. I’m Malaysian alright ….

  8. Dude, your posts no longer have the same “kick”. As you grow older, your sense of humour moves on to another level I believe. More mature, less fun (add -ny also can!). Not criticising – just think you have grown out of immaturity, hence funniness. Boo for us!

  9. nice pictures u’ve got there!
    harmonious msia we are yea!
    looking forward if u could become the embassador…u sure will do a great job!

  10. mah-jong went “international” over 100 years ago. French, Germans, Japanese and Americans have developed their own variations too. it’s great to see a game that brings people together.

  11. wah i missed mahjong…
    haha… what’s wrong being grown up and mature?
    why should kenny lower his level so some of the immature readers would find him funny?
    cant please everybody. at least he is happy with what he is doing.
    after all, this is a blog.

  12. I can’t help but notice this…
    How is that game Mahjong when there are so little tiles in the middle of the table? Aren’t you suppose to have the “Great Wall of China” in the middle of the table, where players draw their tiles from?
    Forgive my ignorance if that is another Mahjong version which I’m not aware of. =)

  13. Kenny…It’s ‘White Lady’ right the drink?? Anyway which area did u go and order thatdrink? Open Air or in Hui Sing?? I love the one in Open Air..More yummy…Btw,ur gon for Rainforest this July??

  14. better yet when one’s daughter (or son, for those who value equality in act, and deed) can marry one of ‘them’ without raising family anxiety. hope that day comes, everywhere, not just Kuching

  15. update on photo Kenny; the black girl (she’s Brazilian from Rio DJ) has left the country with her Danish hubby last month.
    the indian lady’s from Singapore married to a German now residing in Kch.
    there are 2 other places where such a mixed society exists harmoniously; in Miri where there are many Shell wives and in Seria Brunei; ditto.
    i’m guessing the Malay and Chinese are M’sians; and probably the Caucasian is married to a local?
    nice and different post Kenny, keep it up. don’t listen to the detractors; posts should be varied. this is a good one.

  17. HI i’m the malay girl in pink in the photo…
    i looked befuddled as in the middle of my game with my mahjong kakis, some dude walked into the patio and happily took our photo which absolutely disrupted my concentration…some of your guesses were correct but some were wild like:
    our brazilian friend has gone back to Denmark with her hubby THAT’S CORRECT
    (so we are 1 kaki short)…
    our Indian friend is from Singapore, married to a German and is now residing in Kuching ALSO CORRECT…
    the caucasian is NOT married to a local…guess again
    the chinese lady is NOT kenny’s mum!!!!
    and
    I’M DEFINITELY NOT MALAYSIAN…
    anyway we play once a week, no money incurred just lots and lots of tea, cakes and friendship.
    Also the mahjong we play is western version, the wall is the same but rules are slightly different..
    we don’t play rowdily (not counting the gossips) in other words, more cilivised compared to any Hong Kong movie or Phua Chu Kang style mahjong :p
    yeah we were dressed in our cheong sams that afternoon as it was CNY but usually we play in our bikinis by the pool!!!

  18. I like that multi racial photo but it looks more like playing scrabble than mahjong coz of the holder. Normally mahjong does not have that right? Haha.. Good photos!

  19. Haha, I knew an ang mo lady that married a local chinese. Her Hokkien and greater than me and she seen like quite enjoy with Kuching here. Years ago, i was teaching a sibling, their mum was from Australia if i not mistake. Their mum aslo speak some foochow. The most terrible one was my friend was site visting to a village and visit the penghulu house. There suddenly came out a quite beauty ang mo lady and the penghulu intro that is her daughter in law. and his son looks like shit. So some day if ur child marry with some black dude or ang mo you are not need to curious about.

  20. Hey Kenny,
    I come from Kuching, and yes I think it has become more of a multicultural city lately. Do stop by to visit Kuching again sometime ya? 😉
    Btw….where exactly is the place where this photo is taken?

  21. Definitely this WHITE-LADY is not chinese.
    Check the photo background……….:)
    ……..She is Malay …..:)
