Love your country by knowing more of her




I am never someone who likes to criticise my own country. But neither am I someone who turns a deaf ear over other 's comments and critics.



I read this article forwarded by my friend. It's an article about the views and opinion of an Australian journalist on the current affairs in Malaysia.


I must admit, he did all his homework, at least he know that Suria KLCC is not run by a Malaysian company (which I did not know until reading this).


I had to ask myself a question, could this Australian & other people all around the world know more about Malaysia than most of the Malaysian do. Maybe a tourist could tell you what is fun in Malaysia than most of our Malaysian Chinese youngsters could ? (Ask yourself this please!)


If you do not know about your own country well enough, are you in the position to critic your country? Are you in the position to even say you are a Malaysian?


If you do not know the names of the following food, or if you had not tried them before, then shame on you. At least you should know the delicious food in your country, isn't it so?

A quick survey among my friends shown that 4 out of 5 do not know this exist in Malaysia.

5 out of 5 have not tried this before.

Amazingly, 5 out of 5 got this name of this dish half wrong!!!!!


We Malaysian Chinese are just as naive and snobbish as the Malays isn't it?

Thats some similarity being Malaysians.
