Excuse me?

This is very VERY old news, and i think i've talked about it before?
But i can't help but to just talk about it again, because i don't agree nor disagree with it.

Remember how Malaysia was said to be 3rd rudest city in the world?

I admit Malaysians are perhaps rude, unfriendly, nasty, idiotic, retarded, worst blood-suckers you'll probably ever meet in your life, yada-yada all the bad things in the world... but i beg to differ.

Despite the fact remains, and it's the truth... that there are NO gentleman in Malaysia who'll be free enough to hold open the door for you (i was slammed on the face for countless times)... nor will there be anyone who'll be free enough to help you pick-up stuffs on the street when you do fall etc etc...
But seriously, as "disappointed" i can be with the typical-Malaysian's "common courtesy" (which seriously lack), and as much as i can complain countless times on how "ungentlemanly" Malaysian guys can be (lols, i'm a feminisit - i have high expectations for the male-counterpart)... i still beg to differ.

It's not strange, because the reason why i felt so, is because Malaysians weren't justified at all, if any, in that list.
Hello, the countless times WE MALAYSIANS actually talk about how rude people of other country can be?

But then soon you come to realize that the other country is not exactly "rude", its just the way THAT country works. Its their "culture". And if they are ok with it, sure we outsiders do compare how "rude" they can be, but its not so in their eyes. It's just how the work!

But here we are being generalize and stereotyped as how a "rude" we are, based on the "classifications" of the country and "people" who started it all.

Ok not a country lar.
THE WEST.
The western ideology or whatever it is.
In other words ANG-MOHS WHO ARE TOO FREE AND NOTHING BETTER TO DO. And their heads are so enlarged that they think they are better than everyone else.

I've said before i don't like angmohs (except a certain few), and i stand by my word. I hate it that most of them like to think how their higher than anyone else.


They started what you called the "common courtesy", and they expect everyone to have it? Come on lar, different culture dei! Every culture also must have your so-called "common courtesy" is it?

As rude as Malaysians can really be (which we are i won't be ashamed to admit), i still don't think we should be "3rd place".
Most lack "common courtesy" as perceived by the West ideology, but granted, there are still a lot of friendly and courteous Malaysians around. Even if most of them are also "shun bian" only help, but will still help right?

Anyways, i also especially disagree with the first place of being the most polite city in the world.
Mind, i've never been to NYC before, but i really like to! But anyways, why i disagree that they shouldn't be first, is because well, i've *heard* of stories.
From what i heard, as a tourist of course you'll walk slower and enjoy the sights. But being locals, who are always rushing for time, if they are behind you and you are blocking them, they can actually "tsk" you, and then proceeded to cut in-front of you, some will even mutter "tourists" rudely before rushing off into the sun again.

That is polite excuse me?

That said, holding doors open, helping to pick up stuffs, as how the survey was conducted and based on... is another story, but i'm focusing on that point.


Of course, who am i to defy whatever and however much the money was paid to conduct the survey, all i'm saying is that i disagree with the first place, and i disagree with MY COUNTRY (patriotic dei!) being 3rd last place.

Yeah, it's a "common-courtesy" survey, not on "politeness" but like... whatever.


Just on a side-note, which shouldn't be taken into account nor should be given any thoughts of... but just a "side-note"...
I've met with this typical always-happens incident with the train back at one of Seoul's subway station... the cause of it was because of the people who are pushing at us from the back.

When it happened, nobody actually helped.
Ok, maybe because they don't know what to do as well, and you can see some people actually wanted to help too, but just don't know how...

But anyways, after everything was solved, the person at our back (the ones who pushed us), actually even have the courtesy to laugh at us...

Excuse me?
