Welcome back to Malaysia

The ugly side of Malaysians - Opinion | The Star Online

YES, I totally agree that Malaysians are “ugly”.

Having just returned from abroad after 25 years, I am shocked by the attitude of some Malaysians.

Whether it’s on the road, the sale assistants, the government servant, the general public in a shopping mall or the people living in my condo, I have found Malaysians to be selfish, indifferent and some downright rude and aggressive.

Whoever said Malaysians are warm and friendly probably came from another era or another planet!

Malaysians litter, slam doors in your face, steal car parking bays under your nose, give you a bitchy attitude when you enquire about a product in a store and that’s if your are lucky.

If you are unlucky, they swear and use profanities at you, resort to violence if they cannot

win a verbal argument and resort

to crime to exact their revenge on you.

It’s like being a cowboy country, the way some behave.

Compared to the neighbouring country Singapore for instance, Malaysians have a long way to go in terms of etiquette, civility and basic good manners.

Singapore might have their own set of problems but at least their citizens are courteous and respect other people’s space and feelings.

@HushandPuff: author obviously haven't hung out in SG for awhile. It's the same!

Me: maybe the rude people in Singapore are Malaysians ;)
