Malaysia Wise Sayings on Survival Skills
| Wise Sayings | Pepatah Hikmat |
| Eyes on alert when talking during daytime, ears on alert when talking during nighttime. | Cakap siang pandang-pandang, cakap malam dengar-dengar. |
| Be careful when you speak, especially involving secrets. This is the era of eavesdropping. | Berhati-hati apabila bercakap, lebih-lebih lagi tentang rahsia. Ini ialah zaman pengintip pendengaran. |
| If you want it, there're a thousand ways to get it. If you don't want it, there're a thousand excuses. | Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih. |
| If we want something we will work hard to get it. If we don't want something, there are plenty of excuses. Look at the examples of our ministers who are great in coming out with excuses. ( thunderous applause ) | Kalau kita ingin mendapatkan sesuatu, kita akan berusaha untuk mendapatkannya. Jika kita tidak mahukan sesuatu, kita akan ada banyak alasan. Lihat contoh menteri-menteri kita yang hebat mencari alasan. ( tepukan gemuruh ) |
| If you know how to eat, you better know how to keep the food. | Kalau pandai makan, pandailah simpan. |
| We must know how to keep secrets, especially after 'eating' under table money. | Kita mesti pandai menyimpan rahsia, terutamanya selepas makan suap. |
| It's okay to be in the centre, it's also okay to be at the border. | Ke tengah boleh, ke tepi pun boleh. |
| Can adapt to all kinds of situations. ( Sticky stiuations ). This kind of person is invincible. | Dapat menyesuaikan diri dalam semua situasi. Orang sebegini 'dibakar tak hangus, direndam tak basah.' |
| Different from the mouth, different in the heart. | Lain di mulut, lain di hati. |
| what is said is not the same as one's thoughts. The winner is one who can still talk sweetly even though he is hopping mad inside. | Apa yang diperkatakan tidak sama dengan isi hati. Yang paling hebat, orang yang manis mulut walaupun panas hati. |
