The longer I stay here, the more good things I notice. Of course things are different..but the point is, I've never felt differences are always this good.
I don't want to say anything on the healthcare system. I could go on forever but let's just not.
The respect they have for you, and for each other. They say sorry when they accidentally bump into you. They say thank you for the smallest gesture you make, like when you open the door for them. Lecturers and tutors praise you for the slightest good things you did. And then it comes to me, hey aren't these common sense? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, this is the way it is supposed to be. This is what my religion teaches me. I lived in my country for 20 years. It's sad, but..
People don't always say sorry even if they did knock you. Sometimes they even go as far as cursing you. "Hoi tak ada mata ke?" Most of them pretend nothing happened at all.
I don't know whether it's pride or something else, but they don't really say thank you that much, too.
Favoritism in school. And it's so obvious. (At least this statement is true in my case.) I experienced this since I was in elementary school. Obviously I wasn't any teacher's favourite, being the quiet non-prefect-nobody-slash-ordinary girl I was. LOL. It isn't fair. Nah, not fair at all.
Customer services. I am impressed. I can say customers are treated like customers, and we're respected. I had a problem with my delivery once, so I contacted the customer service. They actually replied to my email and apologise, saying they would look into it right away. And they did look into it. I made a request and they fulfilled it. I am one happy customer.
While in Malaysia... *sighs.*
Ooh it seems that someone got carried away and write a long post. I love Malaysia. It's just that I'm disappointed with the people (mostly of the same religion as me). If we can practise it, the beautiful teachings..
Only if it's easy to change people's mentality.
Love, x.
