That's Bloody Rude!

I came to know about Malaysia being one of the rudest country in the world about a year ago. We actually ranked third out of the 35 countries that was put on the survey. I know some Malaysian would definitely flipped out when this achievement*ha ha* is mentioned to them. But, honestly, don't you see it coming?

There are many factors that contributed to this achievement. We seldom say thank you after we receive the balance from the cashier. We don't hold the door for the next person behind us. What if we left our handphones in public places? The chances of you getting it back is as slim as our Ringgit having the highest value in the world. Don't even get me started on our driving attitude. You and I both know how ruthless we can be on the road :D

So where did we go wrong?

I think the most important thing here is for us to change ourselves for the better. Being courteous doesn't hurt. Treat others how you want to be treated, because there's this thing call karma baby, and what goes around comes around ;). When we have become a better and polite person, it would be time to teach the young ones through modeling because talk is cheap.

Don't forget your thank yous!

Exactly, the toilet, and amongst other things. Should we be more courteous, we'd be perfect, because we are already blessed with lots of uniqueness (cultures, and yes that includes our smiles & food :P) that is not available in most of other countries.
