1. A typical young Malaysian can name all the players from a top English Premier League club, but ask him to name one football player from Malaysia, he cannot!
一个典型的马来西亚青年可以叫得出英超足球队所有队员的名字,可是要他叫出一名马来西亚足球队队员的名字,他却办不到。

当Streamyx面世时,你抱怨它太慢。Maxis Broadband来了,你又嫌它经常断线。最后WiMax出现了,你却抱怨它收费太贵。到头来,你还是认为Streamyx最好。

3. When highway toll increases, you complain. When petrol price increases, you also complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO COMPLAINTS.
你抱怨高速公路收费提高,你也抱怨汽油涨价。可是你到星巴克喝一杯RM10的咖啡,又不见你抱怨。

4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE, run from one end to the other, that one NO COMPLAINT.
你开车到购物中心找不到停车位,必须停在老远的地方,你一定会抱怨。可是到了里面,发现全场有促销。你可以走遍整个购物中心,从不抱怨。

5. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always: (a) traffic jam (b) no transport or (c) cannot find parking.
你经常迟到,你的借口不外是塞车、没有交通工具或是找不到停车位。

每年的4月30日,你和其他人一样在内陆税收局排队,希望在截止之前交上报税单。

9. When an angmoh stranger kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you are very happy. When a Malaysian guy kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you slap him in face.
如有陌生外国人吻你的脸颊向你问好,你会感到很高兴。可是马来西亚人这样做的话,你会赏他耳光。
