TUA KA adj.,n. big foot
Sisuahlai's take on The Star: Researcher finds "Big Foot" trail
Big foot in Hokkien, tua ka, actually means a big player. Like a big, influential player in a multi-million transaction. Or an important person making an, erm, important decision.
So when some Malaysian researcher found a suspected Yeti trail, purely on the grounds that some heavy plants got uprooted, I just ponder...
DID A KUCHING BIG FOOT DO THIS?
YES, probably some tua ka contractor.

Tua kha, never mind as long as not phai kha (spoilsport)!
maybe bigfoot also want to be sarawak timber tycoon...
I think the proper term would be Sasquatch. A Yeti is that abomi(something) snowman thing in the Himalayas. Big unknown human-ish creature... same difference la. Nevermind.
