Islamic gov of Malaysian state holds "marital lullaby contest"

Snip from AP story:
[The] Islamic government of the northeastern [Malaysian] state of Kelantan will hold a lullaby contest for wives singing their husbands to sleep. [...]

Nik Aziz said the lullaby contest will strengthen family ties. "This is important. For example, a husband returns home tired and when the wife sings to him, he can sleep soundly," he said. "When he awakes, he is a happy man and this will help build a great relationship between husband and wife."

Too bad it isn't a martial lullaby contest:
Lullaby
and goodnight
My new fighting technique is
unstoppable
