In general meme terms, this means that the person has said something of importance and he deserves brownie points for having the courage to speak his mind.Listening to everyone’s requests, Oreo Malaysia decided it was the perfect opportunity for the company to jump onto the band wagon.Oreo Malaysia hence decided to give Tan not just a cookie, but a bucket-load of cookies.Tan has decided to donate the Oreo cookies to the House of Joy, a charity home that administers shelter, care and training to orphans.Good on you Oreo. That gets a thumbs up from us at A+M.
