The Malaysian cliches'

You can easily recognize a Malaysian from his speech, life styles, or even from the way they behave. Then, there are other 'traits' of Malaysians you simply can't ignore noticing or knowing.

Things like the below :-
  • almost every other English word spoken ends with a 'lah.'
  • coffee mixed with tea, milk and sugar called Chum is considered a drink amongst Malaysians.
  • orders roti canai square and not round.
  • pays a ringgit to watch footie on TV with a 'teh-tarik'
  • where nasi-lemak is a must breakfast.
  • very much kiasu and always compare Malaysia with Singapore.
  • Malaysians, some of the fattest, rudest and uncouth bunch of people in ASEAN
  • rice is eaten 3 to 4 times a day.
  • Teh-tarik is a must even in the wee hours of the morning.
The list goes on.

The very reason why I came up with this is - today's daily headline reads : Malaysians stand the highest in count for obesity.

I AGREE.
