MALAYSIA

my cousin from the USA came down about 2 months ago. all her friends asked her many questions. A few questions were valid . Eg. Do malaysians live in huts? Do Malaysians bathe in rivers? Well it did make me chuckle. But it did surprise me that not even one of her friends knew much about Malaysia. Why arent we recognized on the world stage. We relied too much on the Petronas twin towers for this fame. Even then some people dont even know about it. We relied to much on KLIA being one of the 10 largest airports in the world for fame. People know it more for being the most under utilized airport in the world. Where are we heading building all these huge infrastructures just to impress the world. We are still going unnoticed.

I must mention though that many people remember Malaysia or Malaysians for our stupidity. Not exactly our stupidity but the stupidity of the people concerned. A celebrity was on board Business Class in British Airways ( A Malaysian celebrity, I shall not mention who) when an air stewardess asked her " Madam, what would you like? Coffee or tea?". The celebrity(lets give her a name= Siti). Well Siti replied by saying coffee. The air stewardess asked her " How would you like your coffee?" Siti replied " In a cup". Oh my god. Who on earth would have said something that stupid. Well she ought to know that she is in business class of British Airways. They arent going to give it to her in a plastic bag.

It is really sad how Malaysia is recognised for the wrong things. Another example. Malaysia being the third rudest city in the world. How a Malaysian pilot was blamed for that huge crash in an airpost in Taipei.

Is Malaysia ever going to be recognised. Or like my tuition teacher says " Segala Impian Malaysia seperti WAWASAN 2020 hanya akan menjadi igauan."

Come on Malaysia lets go and make our country recognised for something.
