Why don't Malaysians line up in queue?

Question

Or do they not prefer to? What is the problem with lining up?

Eg. Its ESPECIALLY embarassing when you take Air Asia flights from overseas when other people just stare at the Malaysians who push and pull in the queue like those buses they get on at Puduraya and Klang Bus stand simply because Air Asia is supposed to be like a public bus.

I'm talking about Malaysians, please keep the Brits, Americans and other world civilisations out of this question, thank you :-) If you still prefer to talk abou them, go to Home>Travel and post them there.

Answer 1

Hmm.. In my younger days when i had to catch a train, it happened to me a lot. Nowadays it's more on car jumping queue at those traffic lights. No amount of honking will help rid of these people.
Problem on airasia flight, people rush to get on the plane to get the best seats. What constitutes best seats? God knows, different people has different preferences. Problem on MAS flight, although passengers are given seat number, they still rush to get onto the plane to store their luggage. I cant understand why people tend to bring more hand luggage although they are only supposed to bring only one. How much can u save on extra baggage eh..
So to solve this headache, buy your own private jet. U can leave anytime, any day and go anywhere u please. Easy!

Answer 2

You sure that only Malaysians dun line up? I have seen Malaysian lining up too (at the check points - for example).
These are some unpleasant situations that happens to you but in general not the whole bunch of Malaysians are doing that. I was in ShenZhen recently and WOW, worse senerio. But since we are there for the same purpose, might as well just ignore the situation and move on...

Alternatively, you might want to consider a saying: If you cannot ebat the crowd, join them... hahaha

GOOD DAY!

Answer 3

Hey you know there is a saying that says "the early bird gets the worm" and so i guess because of this, lining up just doesn't make sense. It's modern world and you gotta be smart right? So while it works with the ancient people to get up early, it just doesn't make sense these days. I mean who wants to miss all the good night fun to wake up early in the morning? So the only solution... just don't line up and be aggressive :P

Truth is I do not condone this kind of action. It is just my fun take on the outlook.

Answer 4

Malaysian even line up for other airlines like MAS which is weird because the seats are numbered.

Answer 5

That's a great joke!! Good for a Monday morning!

Answer 6

be patient mate

Answer 7

A more interesting question is "Why *DO* Americans and Brits line up in queue?" Many other cultures don't do this at all.

Answer 8

I don’t know..... but it was all air asia fault for not having number seats that why those passenger behave like that. Look at other air line, does Malaysian passenger behave like that??? The answer is NO. Although there’s plenty of seat and everyone will get their seat but if your don’t get in first you’ll cant find any nice seat or a seat next to the window.

Answer 9

They are not civil minded, i hate those people. To me they are just asshole

Answer 10

They should be arrested for it too.
