What is the one thing you HATE the most about Malaysia?

Question

Something different for a change. We have been singing Malaysia’s praises all long.

Let me start the ball running & quote you a few examples:
1. State controlled media - publishing only what the government wants us to know. Look at our newspapers controlled by political parties, printing permits controlled by government.
2. Racial discrimination - the long suffering Chinese & Indians. Quotas imposed in universities, scholarships, public sector employment, just to name but a few.
3. Reckless Malaysian drivers - Self explanatory :-). Why then do we have Ops “this” & “that” during festive season? And any reduction in road accidents?
4. Bahasa Melayu - at the expenses of English. Now that the goverment has woken up to the importance of English, isn’t this a bit too late? No enough suitably qaulified English teachers.

These are the 4 items that I can think of, for now. What’s yours?

Answer 1

the car prices very expensive

Answer 2

I have read some of the answers here, and frankly, I don't understand. Corruption, racial descrimination, media control and so on and so forth, are not Malaysian problems. They are global problems. They are part of our human tendency and not government issues. I'm not Malaysian myself but I've been reading a lot about Malaysia, since I'm hopefully going to study there. I even saw some programmes on TV dedicated to the development and achievements of Malaysia in the past few years. Honestly, I am amazed. what Malaysia has achieved in the last 20 years, a lot of countries could not achieve in centuries. Every country has problems, like one of our ex presidents said " A country without problems is not a country...And thank God we don't have any problems..." hehehe.
The bottom line is, Malaysia in improving quickly, and a few years ago, there were bigger problems Malaysians were facing. Now these problems are a thing of the past. The issues that our friend stated in his question, are faced by every country in the world, even the most advanced and democratic ones i.e: USA, UK, France and so on.
I hope things will get a lot better in the future. Take care all and God bless us everyone.
P.S: One thing I don't like about Malaysia, is the price of cars. Why on earth are they so expensive? hehe

Answer 3

Yes, well, true, we all like this and that so much, but when do we dare to speak our mind about something that bothers us... so this might be a maybe harmless exercise in venting our frustration. I think in the end we are all happy to live here, but there are those nagging things we are not allowed to talk about... and for me it is really racist discrimination, as comes through in other posts. I live in Sabah... nobody in Peninsular Malaysia really knows how far this issue goes here, to a point where the natives (inclusive true Malays) are already in a minority in favour of Muslim Filipinos and Indonesians... But what can we do about this? And that is an issue underlying all our problems, because we, the rakyat, don’t have much power to act!

But in Sabah, we tend to look at the bright side of life. If Sarawak and Sabah had joined, in 1963 (the year when Malaysia as we know it to-day was formed) any of the neighbouring countries things would not be as bright as they are to-day, even if Sabah is now Malaysia’s poorest State. Oh, and one thing that also bothers me: West Malaysians, especially students, never seem to connect Sabah and Sarawak to Malaysia, but think these are some obscure countries on some mystical island where people live on trees… Don’t worry, we don’t bear no grudges towards any of you, the politicians and their education system are to blame for this one!

Uh, that was good to say! Thanks for this question!

Have a nice day!
Effendi, Sabah

Answer 5

Well..
1stly.. u dont ask such question in this section...
Secondly, why ask such an uneasy question..

But let me answer some of the question..

Let me start the ball running & quote you a few examples:
1. State controlled media - Every media in the world control by the qovernment.. its a fact.. even singapore or U.S control the media. this is to cut off sensative issue & stuff.. so u can't blame malaysia for that..

2. Racial discrimination - this is not an issue, the chinese & india must obey/ respect the racial contract that was establish long time since malaysian independance.. all races are living in prosper & wealth.. Singapore racial discrimination is more worst than malaysia.. even malaysian chinese doesn;t want to live in singapore..

3. Reckless Malaysian drivers - well we all want to be F1 drivers,
u cant blame them though.. but my visit to cameron highland last CNY proves that singaporean is more reckless driven than malaysia due to there's a lot of car wreck besides the road having singaporean plate number..

4. Bahasa Melayu - the government knows the important of english.. but in our constitution or Rukun Negara.. already stated bahasa malaysia as bahasa rasmi.. so why bother.. we dont want one that the important of bahasa malaysia been deminish by new rules.. Dont want to be like singapore.. even the chinese singapore dont really know to talk or fluent in mandarin..
this is their mother language for generation & they dont really know ..

I love my country.. Nothing that i hate in my country..
But there's a lot of improvement needed but not to the extend hating my own country..

Just u imagine comparing Malaysia with singapore/ thailand/ indonesia/ philipines.. where u want to spend ur life at..

Answer 6

- The education system (One of the highly messed up things in Malaysia. Malaysia needs a lot of reformation here. Almost everything is messed up here, from teaching and so on.)
- Their taste in building designs
- Lack of care for environment
- People are not that friendly
- Corruption (Well, corruption is everywhere)
- Too much separation between races.
- Copy cats, like Berjaya time square and Malaysian Idol
- Millions more.

Answer 7

Dey macha...why you want to spread hatred in this section huh?? dont you know that this is a travel section for malaysia?????!!!! are you that stupid?? you can get reported for this you know?? why must create an uneasiness among us here?? if you just hate malaysia that damn much..then you are welcome to buzz off from malaysia!! go and find your suitable country that dont have anything to hate from!

Answer 8

To name a few:
1) Corruption everywhere
2) Government policies, lop-sided
3) Government servants - wow!! tried getting through immigration when you are in a rush??
4) The Police? Ever called 999 before and check how long it takes them to arrive? For info, I live just opposite a police station. Ever confronted one during the Chinese New Year season?

The above are only the tip on the iceberg.

Answer 9

1. Discrimination (Indian, Chinese, Indonesian)
2. Politic..(They Control everything even for freedom of speak and
the government is very very sensitive, corruption)
3. Moral (most Malaysian is not nice people)
4. Lazy..(Most of buildings build up by Indonesian Labor
Malaysian? No...)
5. Broken English (they speak English with Malay dialect)
6. Taxi (they charge too much if we did not ask
the price before we get in)

so far thats all...

Answer 10

Hats off to you mate for speaking out loud! Well, there are plenty of issues to say bad about M'sia but i'm afraid most of them are sensitive issues. It is an open secret you know. As a M'sian, i'm proud to live here and we are all given an opportunity to make a living. There are bound to have discrimination and i think for 'us' we'll take it in our stride.
There is the NEP we're talking about surfaces from many yrs ago before we were born to your sent. no.2. Qoutas everywhere..govt. giving out loans and still cant recovers back!
Look where we are heading... helping Indo ($$)to recover their economy after disasters struck the country over and over again yet many ppl in our country still live in poverty needed help. When flood hits our country did Indon govt. came to help? Yeah they gave us HAZE which hit tourism industry
Imagine the news headline says Malaysia and Indonesia are like brothers!!

Answer 11

look of the **** that goes around in the world i am super super lucky to be a malaysian. i won't deny that sometimes its unfair and stuff like that...but for me at the end of the day if something were to happen to this country, the whole nation will stand together and fight against it, and thats all matter. i love malaysia...
