Organ donation
Over breakfast, inspired by this story about a girl who died in a motorcycle accident whose family decided to donate her organs. Malaysians tend to be superstitious/stingy/uninformed about that.
Yan: If I die, I want you guys to donate all my organs, ok?
Mum: Can. People can donate everything now, even faces.
Yan: Can meh?
me: That one's experimental lah. But you can donate your eyes. Corneas.
Yan: Imagine if I donate my face, very scary at the funeral.
me: They'd probably give you a death mask or something.
Yan: Or you could cover my face, and then people lift up the cover and go YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
me: You have a weird sense of humor.

I have a little "organ doner" sticker on my driver's license. I think that and the signature on the back of the card is all that is necessary for organ donation in the US. What's the law like in Malaysia?
