When Mahathir was visiting Singapore, PM Goh though he'd show the M'sian Premier Singapore's Telecommunication capabilities. As the M'sian entourage was touring SingTel's corporate HQ, being shown all it's new telecom technology, Dr. M noticed a strange telephone sitting in one corner of the room. Walking over, he found the phone glowed dark red, and had weird occultic symbols where numbers ought to be. He turned to ask the SingTel representative what it was.

The rep stiffened momentarily, then answered, 'It's a hotline to hell, Dr Mahathir.'

Curious, Dr M wanted to give it a try. Picking up the handset, he heard a rumbling demonic voice, 'Please deposit S$10,000 for the first minute.'

When Dr. M returned home, he called up the Minister responsible for telecommunications and told him of his discovery.

The minister then said, 'Oh, we have that too, sir. We just don't like to talk about it.'

'Let me see it.' said Dr. M.

So the minister brought Dr M. to see the phone. Sure enough, there was the same deep red phone with the symbols. Picking up the phone, he heard the same demonic voice announce, 'Please deposit 50sen for the first minute.'

Surprised, Dr M. asked the minister why the call was so cheap compared to Singapore.

'Oh, here it's a local call.'
