The frequently appeared
KK as in
CKK, FKK, LKK, PKK, SKK, TKK, CKKK, TLKK, FFKKK recently reminds me of the
famous KK story in the hospital which we encountered very frequently in the clinics or hospitals. On & off, when I asked the patients regarding their medication history, I will have patients (especially those middle-aged or elderly patients) telling me about the white KK pills, which they take for fever. What the heck is this
KK pillss ? Haha, it is none other than
Paracetamol (PCM) or
Panadol tablets. How this name KK come about? Why KK?
Thanks to the
huge KK imprinted behind the panadol tablets, giving the impression to some of the patients that KK is the "other" name for panadol. They never realised that
KK = Kementerian Kesihatan (Ministry of Health) ! Many times, I was tempted to tell them the truth that KK is not equivalent to PCM but at the end, I didn't :P
See? Even
ponstan (mefenemic acid) also has
KK imprinted on the capsule :P
p/s: Hope nobody
FKK (
faint kaw kaw) after reading this post....

The younger generations mostly won't notice the imprinted letters ;)
HAhahahahha! I seriously never knew. But I think I kinda have a faint idea that the pills have KK imprinted on them. Your blog, sometimes very lame but sometimes really can be informative too, eh? Thanks!
Sometimes the patients say, "Got no "KK" is a fake!"

What is actually "KK"?
Have read some ppl put KKKKKKK in their comments... thought all this times, is only like "kekekekeke," no?
and what is TKK, FKK, PKK
I only know TKK = Taman kanak-kanak
TKW = Tenaga Kerja Wanita
TKI = Tenaga Kerja Indonesia
FK= Fakultas Kedokteran
PKK = Pelajaran karya kesenian? (uhmmm... not so sure anymore.. it's one of the subject in elementary school, hehehe)
selba,
KK means kaw kaw
and yeah, u r correct
kkkkkkkk means kekekkeke
The alphabet infront of KK can be an abbreviation for any english word, malay word and even cantonese or hokkien word. It's all up to the individual who use it. He or she can sustitute any word with the abbreviation.
To me FKK means Faint kaw kaw, to others who use the abbreviation, it can mean other things :)
No hard & fast rule for the lingo..
That's the fun of using it, since it can mean so many things :D
Got my panadol from clinic... the doctor said it is imported one wor, better.
Really ah?
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
now i knowwwwwwww
hahahaahah..y need to put KK there le?kia si ppl dono it is from kk?keke
KK = "kin kin"
SKK = siao kin kin
FKK = fly kin kin
CKK = chao kin kin
