Just to trigger your creative juice, here are the pantuns recited by TNB CEO Che Khalib Mohamad Noh at the dodol-making session yesterday:
Terbang Merpati Ke Kuala Langat
Tiong Berehat Tepi Empangan
Satu Hati Satu Semangat
Kerja Berat Menjadi Ringan
Daun Palas Gugur Ke Tanah
Pohonnya Redup Jadi Teduhan
Hati Ikhlas Jujur Amanah
Kerja dan Hidup Diberkat Tuhan
Terbang Rendah Si Rama-rama
Burung Tempua Tepian Kali
Kerja Bersama Maju Bersama
Buruk Sangka Jangan Sekali
Pucuk Paku Si Daun Pandan
Dipetik Dara Untuk Santapan
Kisah Lalu Jadi Teladan
Untuk Kita Maju Kedepan
Semanis-Manis Rasanya Dodol
Lebih Manis Dibuat Bersama
Kerja Yang Berat Sama Dipikul
Itulah Hasrat Paling Utama
Bunga Raya Sekuntum Cuma
Mekar Melur Disiram Embun
Aidil Fitri Akan Menjelma
Tangan Dihulur Maaf Dipohon
Here's Screenshots wishing all Malaysians a Happy Deepavali & Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitiri.

Dear Jeff,
I think the RM1, charged by the SMS Provider is too much for an LG Phone which is sponsored by LG. The SMS Provider shall give screenshots readers its minimum charge of RM0.50 or RM0.30 to be qualified as a sponsor for the contest.
I would not agree, unless the SMS Provider will give some of the profits for maintaining this Blog.

Firstly, I guess this competition is not open to your readers overseas.....secondly....is the company trying to make money out of this competition?
JEFF OOI says: It's me who set the SMS charges at RM1. I don't foresee the traffic to exceed 150 SMS. So, will I be a millionaire by the end of the contest? Frankly, the RM1 is to rid off whiners and ranters so infamously infesting this commentary section in this blog. BTW, this also means the odds of winning the LG Chocolate KG800 is immense.

Cicah roti dengan rendang,
makan ketupat dengan kuah,
Hantar sms memang senang,
Jangan jadi kes One in a million sudah.
Org TNB mengacau dodol,
Org LG memberi telefon,
raya tahun ni meriah betul,
murah rezeki dgn berpantun.
Saya nak jemput semua disini,
Ke open house saya yg sederhana,
Tahun ni saya dan Paklah JV,
Di PWTC bawalah keluarga..
Saya ingin ambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dengan ucapan bila makan ketupat jangan lupa buang kulitnya!

Hello Jeff,
May I know how do I send in my pantun using SMS? It's quite hard to type in, and I can't arrange them nicely. It will really be a mess if I send in by using SMS.
JEFF OOI says: Follow the instruction, just key inLG,space, then followed by your pantun, then send to the 5-digit shortcode I mentioned. The engine will take care of the paragraphing if yor usecommas toseparate your lines.

So all the pantun must be sent using hp ? Cant we just post it here. Since we are daily visitors.
JEFF OOI says: If in doubt, follow the rules.You may continue to post to share your pantuns in the blog commentaries, but they will not be considered for the contest...and the prizes..
