Malaysians 'cakap tak serupa bikin' culture~

Yup we Malaysians are quite famous with this kind of culture, unfortunately most of them are not so cool, annoying, and very inconsiderate to others. But looking at it from different perspectives it is quite unique & funny~ these are some of the examples :


1. Everybody wants a wider & spacious road but everybody still practice double or triple parking

    
    Quite often, the illegal parking spot will be considered as 'locally legal' since dat's the standard practice




2. Everybody wants a clean city but yet everybody still litter, owh i can totally post a new topic about this~ yeah we keep saying that our singaporean neighbours have a cleaner city because they are more developed, better equipped, have a strict law & blah blah blah the list goes on, but for comparison even our other neighbour cities such as Palembang, Indonesia & Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam have cleaner city than us, In fact Palembang won an ASEAN award as the cleanest city in 2008 if im not mistaken. ashamed? yes we should~!

Jalan Bukit Bintang                 

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Populated yes but ain't dirty~

    Palembang, Indonesia. (ASEAN Cleanest city 2008)

Japan~ every inches scrubbed~! ideally that's the target

3. Everybody wants a good governance, corruption free, and fair country but does everybody practice it? We tend to blame others (policemen is the usual suspect for collecting 'duit kopi') but everybody have their own responsibility. Here are some example of small minor stuffs that we overlooked : 

a) If we don't offer 'duit kopi' & nobody practice it no policemen will dare to ask for it~

b) We are hired & paid to work let say 8 hours everyday but do we really work for 8 hours? minus 

nonsense chit-chating minus mc-dreamy moment minus FB moment how much left? Then claim overtime some more~

c)  Let say we submit a transport claim fr or employer for every km that we travelled,some claim 50km transport fee for a 30km journey some claim rm50 taxi fee for a rm15 train fee~ 

The point here is no matter how evil is your boss no matter how corrupted is your company you must be honest to yourself, have the self integrity, only then you can achieve the inner peace for a better life (one of the reasons why even billionaire who have everything cannot have the happiness). For Muslims it is even more important, whatever you earned to feed yourself & your family, make sure it came from a clean source because every cent counts. Without 'barakah' it is impossible to completely achieve what you want.

So for conclusion it is actually a culture that we can't be proud off but changes can be done one step at a time~ 'STARTING WITH MAN IN THE MIRROR'
