Just arrived home in Singapore after driving from KL for about 4 hours. Must say, I do detest the following atrocious habits of Malaysian drivers:
- Cars flashing headlights when they’re still half a kilometer behind you asking you to get out of their way (Who do you think you are? A VVIP motorcade? (another bad Malaysian habit, but that's another story))
- If somehow you don’t match their 150km speed whilst overtaking another vehicle on the fast lane, you’ll get the annoyance of a 10-inch tailgate to physically nudge you out of your way.
All this when you’re already overtaking in the fast lane 10-20km/h above the speed limit.
Johorean drivers are the worst culprits, followed by KL cars. Singapore cars are guilty of it too.
On a nicer note, I think the most well-spoken (almost perfect English) and polite group of fast-food workers are at A&W at the Overhead Bridge Reststop at Ayer Keroh. The Malay girls in tudungs greet you cheerily with a genuine hello, then proceed to take orders in great UNAFFECTED English (same can't be said of Malaysian radio DJs). A hail of genuine thank yous then follow you as you walk out. Reminds me of a Japanese restaurant welcome, but genuine and spontaneous. Recommend any fast food chain who wish to train their staff to see these girls in action.
Good job ladies!
