Some how many have jumped onto the ISO certification bandwagon....however not many even realize how they suffer as a result.

The Malays recognize that ISO stands for "Ini Susahkan Orang" [This scheme brings trouble to those involved]

On a lighter note, ISO can be incorporated into many existing English words and may be become new words hence forth.
