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.
