Pakiring Vs Lima Ribu - Which one is the original?

I was busy searching a Kadus Song on youtube this evening. I don't really remember the title of the song. But something like "Sumandak kisorundung topurak" (gadis berskap putih...begitu kah tuh dalam bahasa melayu? maybe lah!!). Actually i not so sure the title of the song. In fact, the singer also i forgot. At last i managed to found it after i tried and error using few keys such as; sumandak (gadis)+ sorundung (skap)+ topurak(putih) + kadazan songs and some other words. However, before i found the video clip, i managed to found other clips which i think i need to make comparison which one is the original.

Well here are the links.

1.Pakiring by Khominie group from Philippines

2. Lima ribu from Sabah


Just wonder...the melody is almost similar, if i not mistaken 98%. The only different is, Pakiring's tempo is faster and catchy. The lima ribu one is slower. What do you think? which is the original? heheheheh...

By the way...do you know???? here is demographics distribution for sabah.
* Kadazan-Dusun: 17.8%
* Bajau: 13.4%
* Malay: 11.5%
* Murut: 3.3%
* Other bumiputra: 14.6%
* Chinese: 9.6%
* Other non-bumiputra: 4.8%
* Non-Malaysian citizen: 25% >> what the hell?????? nie mesti indonesian and filifino rite??? shit!!! banyak bah tuh...25% beb!!!

The most popular state in Malaysia??? Which State???

Sometimes i asked myself. Which state is the most popular in Malaysia? Even if my friends asked me, i really don't know. Very difficult to say. But what i've done today in the office, i used google hits and trends to check the popularity of each state in Malaysia. Lastly, i made a conclusion (this is based on google result) SABAH IS THE MOST POPULAR STATE IN MALAYSIA. Don't believe it? Of course it is not proven yet!!! but GOOGLE (which is the most
popular search engine in the world) captured data (traffic) around the world, counted them and as a result sabah too far popular compared to the other states. Just look at the pictures below. I made comparisons among states in Malaysia.




sabah (blue), penang (red), sarawak (orange), johor (green)



sabah (blue), pahang (red), selangor (orange), kuala lumpur (green)



sabah (blue), terengganu (red), perak (orange), kelantan (green)


For this one, i used google search engine to trace the number of hits.

Total hits (Summary)

1. Sabah - 50,600,000 (the winner!!! is sabahhhhhhhh...with 50 millions hits!!)
2. Kuala Lumpur- 25,600,000
3. Penang - 12,900,000
4. Selangor - 12,500,000
5. Johor - 12,100,000
6. Perak - 10,200,000
7. Sarawak - 7,520,000
8. Terengganu - 7,440,000
9. Kedah - 6,990,000
10. Melaka-6,490,000
11. Kelantan - 6,490,000
12. Pahang - 5,450,000
13. Perlis - 4,400,000
14. Negeri Sembilan - 3,230,000
15. Labuan - 2,410,000

AF is more popular in Brunei than in Malaysia?

You believe it or not Akademi Fantasia is more popular in Brunei than in Malaysia. In fact, the Google popularity in Brunei is twice compared in Malaysia. Wow....Astro still allow brunei to vote the students? Once again I used google trends to check the popularity of AF and the chart shows that most of the users came from Brunei, followed by Hong Kong and lastly Singapore.
And distribution based on City Kota Baharu is the most (nie kelantan kan??? LOL..nampak sangat hipokrit...any concert in kelantan will be banned but....kalau tengok popularity...dari kelantan yang paling ramai...hipokrit!!!!). O ya, followed by Kota Kinabalu (wow...memang popular plak AF nie in Sabah). Thirdly is Sarawak and followed by Brunei. Kalau tengok from KL, not even listed in top 10. Well, no wonder most students from KL usually keluar awal...because no one bother to watch..*LOL*
