You dare doubt the Readers Digest !!!!!!!!!!!

That is so....so....so........anti something.

The fact is a survey can only get an opinion on what it was written for and than the reliability is dependent on the skill of the question writer and the selection of the participant base.

Here we have immediate bias, the participant base was already flawed by being limited to Readers of the "Readers Digest". Then we have to know just were it was distributed to, that leads to further bias.

I believe the survey actualy just reflects the knowledge or lack of knowledge the participants had of various countries.
 
:sl:
Wow, those survey results come as a shock to me. The one thing that always stands out in my mind about Malaysia is how downright friendly people were! I mean, there you would be waiting for the bus or train or even just wandering around KL....and inevitably someone would ask you "Where are you from? How are you liking Malaysia? Come home for dinner, please!" We would be like, you are inviting a total stranger home for dinner?! lol If that's rude, I am dying to know what polite and friendly is!

Ahhh, well....its the Reader's Digest....they are always good for a giggle...
 
A friend had an accident on the highway last week. She hit the concrete divider. Her car overturned, lying on one side. There were many cars that morning. For 10 minutes nobody bothered pulling over to assist. For 10 minutes she was alone there, utterly helpless. After that she had to pull himself out of the car. That's Malaysians for you. We only like to watch people get into accidents.

i don't believe what people or magazine or survey say until i have my own chance to prove it myself. this far, malaysians (that i met) are a nice and polite people. i don't know. maybe it is a bias since my wife is malaysian.
 
Claiming that any particular country or city is the "most rude" or "rudest" is akin to claiming that one city is more "pretty" than another one. It is all a matter of perceptions and personal taste. I come from the land of southern hospitality, and it is quite a shock when you leave here and travel to California or Michigan. That isn't to say those people are "rude", but simply not what I'm used to.

Very true. People in different areas do have different ways of expressing friendship and politeness. In my younger days I grew up in Connecticut and we often went to NYC for shopping. It was fairly close and really a good place to shop. Being a Connecticut Yankee at the time. I did not see the abrubtness as rudeness. I found the people to be very polite, just running at a faster pace.

Initially I found the South to be rude. Until I realized that it was the slow relaxed pace, I was seeing as lack of concern. Now being a Yankee washout and a Texan by choice. I find southerners and Texans to be very caring and very friendly.

Rudeness is a very biased term and it all depends on what you are exposed to, if you will see something as being Rude.

This thread seems quite scary. I agree that we should not be generalising things. I have never been to Malaysia....but i think there are good and bad people everywhere. Even within a country, some cities are considered to be rude.....but that doesnot apply to each and every person.

By the way, malay ppl , whom i know are not atall rude. I got some good malay tips from somebody and she is MashaAllah so friendly. (you know who you are :p )

:wasalamex

Agreed. If the typical Malaysian is half as polite and helpful as our Malaysian members here. Malaysia must be the most polit country on earth. I know a few people from Malaysia and I have found them all to be warm, polite and friendly.

We can not let a silly survey influence out thoughts about an entire people. Personal experience and contact is a much better guide.
 
to be honest this thread is a waste of time thats in my opinion~! the reason been if u look around u in other muslim country its the same so why just vote on this1????

Last September, during the rush hour... I was driving in Seberang Jaya expressway .... all six lanes were packed with cars..... suddenly a motorcyclist who sped his motorbike rammed to the back of my car... (it's his fault anyway)... I went out the car to see the motorcyclist condition... there were teeth on the road, his face was bleeding ... and he could only say "I'm sorry, please call the Ambulance"... I called the ambulance... and waited for about 30 minutes until the ambulance came...

The saddest thing was that, NOBODY help us.... they just slow down their cars and look at us curiously ... but not helping..... i felt like being betrayed by the society.... my own society...:enough!:
 
Malay the rudest people?

Seriousely I wouldn't have guessed.

There goes my holiday plan to malaysia (with it's profit from tourist.)
 
COUPLE REMANDED OVER DEATH OF FOUR-YEAR-OLD​

PENANG: She was believed to have been repeatedly hit on the head with a toilet brush and scalded with hot water whenever she was "naughty" or a bit noisy when playing with her toys.

The four-year-old succumbed to her injuries on the way to the Penang Hospital at 11.50am on sunday.

Balik Pulau OCPD Supt Mohd Hatta Mohd Zain said the uncle, a 30-year-old security guard, and his wife, 28, were arrested in connection with the incident, now being investigated as murder.

Supt Mohd Hatta added that the girl was brought to Penang from Pahang by the childless couple stay with them about two-and-a-half months ago.

A post mortem by forensic pathologist Datuk Dr Buphinder Singh yesterday showed that the girl died of swelling of the brain caused by blunt trauma.

Her parents, who rushed from Kuantan, claimed the body from the mortuary after the post-mortem.

They refused to speak to reporters when approached.

Italy came in as the country with the best cuisine (no shock, just there two months ago, and it has gotten even better)

Germany came in as second rudest country (slight shock, cause Germans were always very kind to me)

Spain was considered the country most wanted to live in, but they were considered almost as rude as France.

United States has the worst food (as in bread and beer, for starters)

The UK has the undistinguished reputation as being so bland that they were not rated.
 
Just because it has been voted to be the 3rd rudest country in the world...it doesn't particulatly mean that all the people within it are rude!!!
Sorz dats de best way I could say that...hope I dn't offend anyone...I aint being rude here...just stating a fact dats all..:rollseyes
 
We have people who are sick in the head everywhere, cases such as the ones highlighted above happen everywhere.

We cant judge a whole nation based on the actions of a few.

I still say Malaysians are generally very good people :)
