Singapore vs Malaysia:
There are subtle and non-subtle differences between Singapore(an) and Malaysia(n)…. some of them are:
Singaporen are really Kiasu. Example, at MRT, there is always a big rush to get into the train - disregarding who is coming out. However, it there is a queue, they usually stay in line.
Malaysians: almost never form a queue line. Even if there was one, someone would pretend not to see the line and just slide in front of you. Usually, they jump the queue of ladies. Most of the time, nobody says anything to the queue jumper. In fact, when you make a fuss to the queue jumper, the rest of the people in the line look embarassed and give you the feeling that you are rude and inconsiderate. Hey! Who is the victim here. Man! Once I just tap the shoulder of a guy who slided in front of me at the LRT, and then pointed with my finger for him to move to the back of the line. He looked ’shocked’ as if he did nothing. But when I maintained silent, but firmly staring at him, he move to the next line and slide into the middle of the line!!! And others looked away…
Have to agree on the last part, the last time I raised my voice to let people clear some space for an old lady to get out of the LRT, I get stared at by people trying to rush into the train…
