Malaysians at they’re best.

  1. Malaysians loathes and despise queuing up, because we are simply the most impatient people on the face of the earth.

  2. Malaysians are hungry and starving multitude of crowd. Malaysian will definitely turn up to a free ‘makan’ feast - invited or not, carrying plastic bags in their pockets (some will bring a Tupperware too) while gobbling up everything they can and yes – without queuing up.

  3. Malaysians are full of hypocrites. Public roads will be left to deteriorate to a point suitable only for off-road vehicle, then suddenly resurfaced overnight comparable to a race track perfection – just because a high profile VIP (Cabinet Ministers, Sultans etc.) will be visiting the area.

  4. On the above subject as well, garbage cans and litters are left for months producing suitable breeding ground for disease carrying vectors – will magically tidied up to squeaky clean due to upcoming events supposedly to be attended by the above-mentioned high profile VIP.

  5. Malaysians are a ‘last-minute’ nation. Admit it, we will only do EVERYTHING, and I really mean everything, within the last minute.

  6. Malaysians drivers are born racing freaks. Once they get a hold of any type of vehicle, and hit the road – no more Mr. Nice Guy. And yes, we are famous for road bullying.

  7. Malaysians are the most unhygienic nation. Just take a walk to a nearby road-side stall, to your nearest garbage disposal area, to your local government hospital for that matter – take a deep breath. People will spit all over the place, throw trash everywhere except the garbage bin, and have their dinner at a stall neighboring nearby drainage system similar to a toxic waste fumes.

Top Ten reasons why I ashamed of being a Malaysian (driver).

All Malaysians men and women have split personalities. You might not realized it, and foreign tourist claims Malaysians are the most hospitable, kind, generous and welcoming people but when Malaysians step into their vehicle and start the engine, they will be the most obnoxious, selfish, ignorant, careless human being in the face of the earth.

  1. Malaysians are color blind. Red lights mean nothing to them, and they will cross the road whenever they like.
  2. Malaysians doesn’t know how to use the signal light to change lanes, taking over and turning left or right at a junction. Car manufacturers in Malaysia should have the signal switch installed as an optional accessories.
  3. Malaysians thinks they have god-given rights to park anywhere they like, especially during picking up their children at school and ‘pasar malam’ or night markets. Double-park and triple-parking is a common sight.
  4. Malaysians will throw anything and everything on the road while driving. Malaysians thinks while inside their vehicle, the world outside is their own personal garbage bin.
  5. Malaysians will never obey road signs – no entry, one-way road, speed limits, stop signs have absolutely no meanings to them.
  6. Malaysians will drive very close to your rear, in fact so near that they can use your rear-view mirror to comb their hair doesn’t matter in which speed they’re driving, very fast or fast (there’s no ‘slow’ in Malaysians dictionary).
  7. Malaysians will strangely however, slow down to a crawl which will definitely cause heavy traffic jam lengthening a few kilometers just to look at roadside crash or accidents, broken down vehicles, and pretty girls.
  8. Malaysians will use the hazard lights on all occasions. Weddings, funerals and heavy rains are few examples of such occasions. Use your own imaginations when turning on the hazard lights.
  9. Malaysians highways and roadways did not have any emergency lanes. The left-side lanes are also considered fast lanes. Emergency vehicles such as ambulance and fire engines will have to queue up in the traffic jam like everybody else.
  10. Malaysians will remarkably turn into law-abiding angels with a bright halo on their head only if there’s a traffic policeman standing at road junctions or when a police patrol car passes by.
