Rude Rude Malaysians

A few weeks back I heard over the radio and by reading papers published a survey done by Reader Digest which said that We, Malaysian are 3rd Rudest people in the World!!! Wtf?! World??! How come the survey was only conducted in 35 Countries? What about the Jabarnese, who are known for their politeness? Oh well, the Reader Digest said that they did not carry out the survey in Japan because there is no Japanese version of Reader Digest.... how lame!

OK my version, so, are we actually rude? I would say "YES & YES WE ARE". I have some rude friends, rude and mean as they can be. They don't really care how you feel but they just tarok what they felt like saying. I tried very hard to understand them but to no avail. I just wish that they can be a little polite, kind and grateful to others. Besides we all have our own religion, and one common teaching all religion has is to be kind to others so that others can be kind to you.

Another good example i've seen this incident while eating BKT in Puchong roadside, a big 4 wheels drive zoomed past this already small road and bumped lightly on one of the customers head. The car stopped on the road side and the passenger wind down the passenger window. I really thought the passenger was gonna apologise. But instead, he stared back and adjusted his side mirror. So are we born rude or are we trained to be rude in this ever competitive and challenging country we live in?
