The Rude Malaysian (Part 1)

Came across this in The Star newspaper - its the "Rude Malaysian Contest". And the following are the typical rude behaviours of fellow Malaysians:

  • Not saying “Thank You”
  • Jumping the queue
  • Inconsiderate driving
  • Not saying “Sorry”
  • Asking people in public how much they earn
  • Taking excessive food from buffet lines
  • Littering
  • Disregard for public property
  • Smoking in non-smoking areas
  • Spitting in public
  • Using the handphone in the cinema to talk or send messages
  • Not giving up seats to the elderly, disabled and pregnant women
  • Not responding to RSVP requests
  • Cutting into people’s conversations
  • Boasting about your wealth among less fortunate people
  • Taking other people's things without seeking their permission

For a major publication to hold such a contest/poll, it only goes to show the level of social etiquette of our country...
