Abdul grew up in Kota Baru, a town located on the East Coast of Malaysia,and then moved away to Kuala Lumpur to do his law degree. After graduating, he decided to go back to Kota Baru, because he could be a ‘big fish in a small pond’ there and he really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and opened his new law office.
On his first day, he saw a man coming towards his new office. He decided to make a big impression on this potential new client. As the man open the office door Abdul picked up the phone and motioned for the man to come in, all the while talking.
"No. Absolutely no. You tell those clowns in Kuala Lumpur that I won't settle this case for less than one million ringgit. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay, tell the State Prosecutor that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."
The phone conversation went on for a few minutes. All the while the man sat patiently as Abdul rattled instructions. Finally, Abdul puts down the phone and turned to the man. "I'm sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"
The man said, “I just came to connect your phone sir.”
