of chillis and onions...

this was rather interesting although rather late. Not sure whether to laugh or sigh.

Reporter: What do you know about the local weather, you must be the specialist here, are you expecting rain?

PM Lee: All our people put up... er... er... chillis and onions to prevent the rain from coming down this evening.

i certainly don't see my mum praying with chillis and onions to prevent Ti Gong from raining. How about our Muslim or Indian counterparts?
