There is a Malay pantun that goes: Your head may have rested on golden pillows and you may have lain on mats of silver, but it will never be better than being in the arms of someone you love.

Singer Datuk Andre Goh developed his love of pantun like this while growing up in Kampung Pantai Belimbing, Malacca.
