The Malaysian Defined

It's very difficult to be a Malaysian if you were never one.

It's not just documents and signatures. It's more than one you think.

To be a good Malaysian you have to be all of the following:

1) You must be polite and helpful.
2) You have to greet anyone and everyone you know and do not know.
3) You have to at least speak broken Malay.
4) You ought to have a good sense of erotic-humor.
5) You have to eat rice for every meal of the day.
6) You must do Teh Tarik at the mamak.
7) You must be lazy and sloppy after lunch.
8) You're not Malaysian if you don't backbite your boss at least during lunch hours and once work is over.
9) Being Malaysian is about expecting a pay-raise even when your work load has not increased.
10) The average Malaysian dreams of owning a business but ends up with MLM schemes.
11) You have to be SLOW with work and fast on the road to be the best Malaysian.
12) A good typical Malaysian is often a right-winger in politics.
13) To be Malaysian, you have to expect to be spoon-fed all your life.
14) To be a good Malaysian, you are taught in school that you have to Be a Useful Malaysian, (more like the acronym actually; a BUM)
