People in my country

Things written here are entirely personal opinion and observation, alright?

I find that Malaysians are not helpful and not friendly at all on a general scale (Of course, like everything, exceptions do exist)

I'll give you two scenarios, both involving directions, which partly describe what I am trying to say here.

Scenario 1:
My little brother and his girlfriend got lost in some rural area in Subang. I think it's called Kampung Melayu Subang, if I am not mistaken. Both of them didn't know how to get the hell out of there as there was no road sign at all. Ohya, they were trying to go to SS15, by the way. So they finally saw someone by the roadside. My brother wind down the window and asked,

Fai: Abang, mana Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Subang!
Fai: Oh, mana Bandar Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Bandar Subang!
Fai: SS15?
Stranger: Apa?
Fai: Tu, yang ada Inti College, Taylor's College, area tu. (through gritted teeth)
Stranger: Eh...itu bukan Subang!
Fai: Ya ke... tak apa la. Thanks for your help. (sarcastically)

When I was told about this, I was practically falling off my chair because I was laughing so hard. How can anyone be so stupid? From what my brother said, the stranger clearly is one of the residents in the rural area! He's either too dumb, or he's being unhelpful. In the end, my brother found his way out. (Took him almost an hour)

Scenario 2:
I was accompanying my sister to Mutiara Damansara to meet her customer. She didn't know the exact location of his company, and I... Well, safe to say that I am completely hopeless in directions. So, we were looking for that miserable company in Sunway Technology Park under the hot sun and we were running out of petrol soon. Imagine our situation. So, we decided to stop by the shops and ask for directions. All we got was..."I don't know"! Wait! I am not quite finished yet. He got this I-can't-be-bothered look on his face, which made my blood boil. (I am good at reading facial expression, ok? So I think I got this right) We even tried the security guards, but they gave us the wrong direction. *&^%$%^&!!!
Dammit! But we managed to find that company at last, thank god.

See what I am trying to say here? What is wrong with the people here? Sometimes when you smile at people, they just glare at you. When you are wearing something revealing, they either gape at you or stare at you disdainfully. When you fall down, they laugh and jeer. When they see someone got beaten up, robbed, etc, they watch instead of helping. Oh my god... what is going on here? Friends and readers: No offense ya. Like I mentioned earlier, there is always exception. If you are not one of those people, good for you. If you are, then... you know.

I really hope that these people would try to put themselves into other people's shoes and imagine what would they do if they get such treatments. Please, be more considerate. Have you ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed? I bet you have. So, just bear in mind that everyone has his/her bad day. So I think they could use a little sympathy, patience and consideration. Don't be so selfish!
