probably malaysian chinese....

but i can tell u, those russkie aint giving good servis compared to guat nam poh....

and why is that?

huh? butthurt about?

i jst want to know why he say it is not possible to be malaysian chinese...why suddenly become i buthurt?

well, unless there is rarely any fair-skinned malay. we all know how malay looks like, dont we?






do you happen to have friends from china, hong kong and taiwan?

ask the how they call malaysian chinese here...and ALL of their answer is, Malay. period.

i only found out about this when i get to know around 50 friends from taiwan, hk and china..and it took me VERY long time to convince them that i am a malaysian chinese, and not a malay.

hmm..never tried thai before..but i tell u, some viet really, really, really provide gooding servis....if only i can share my FR here, hehe...

nah..suicai99 below jst re-enforced what i said.

They (HK, Taiwan & China ppl) dont give a fark whether we are malaysian malay, malaysian chinese or whatever..coz to them, all malaysian IS MALAY. Period!

one more thing, how much are they offering for char koay teow locally?





lol..get whose fact straight? i thought i jst said to you that people from china hongkong and taiwan call all malaysian as malay. they dont care if you are malaysian chinese or not. they will call you malay. i get alot of 1st hand encounter - 50+ of them if you dont mind me saying from all 3 countries.

Field Report mang...every cheong forum will have their own section where ppl post field report..





oops..how u know i lie...

oh waii....ignorant is bliss indeed..

oh..u go there lar..not they come here lar? i am sure they know you're a chinese in a glance..asnd when u show them ur passport or personal details, they go 'oh' in their head...

u ask those that come here one lar..then see what they call u. lol lol....






they cant differentiate....most of them.. lol lol...

it's a blanket term for all malaysian lar...




yes..this is what i try to explain to those 2..*ahem*

same like suicai99's example for indonesia ppl..
we call them indon...regardless whether it's indonesia chinese or not..

so hong kong ppl call us malay also..regardless whether we are malaysian chinese or not..

coz to them, malay means citizen of malaysia...like how france is french ppl...

that s the difference...

if an indonesia chinese come malaysia and tell us they are indonesia chinese..we will respect them and call them indonesian chinese....

but when we go indonesia, everyone we see are indon....no matter they are indonesia chinese or not...they are jst indon...

like how when hk ppl or china ppl come malaysia, everyone they see is malay....coz malay is not a race to them, malay is a name that means malaysia people, like malaysian.

hahaa...got..got 1 k-tard pm-ed me for contact when he came over to penang..
i ask him which he prefer..and he requested for the russkies...

we of course know lar...

but the hong kong, taiwan and china people dont know....and it took me a very hard time trying to explain to them about malay and malaysian chinese difference....

end up some jst shrugged and say, 'haiya, so difficult, i jst call malay can already since malaysian = malay like how aussie = australian".

not exactly...
when they kenot see the difference or aware of such difference between malaysian malay and malaysian chinese, they will lump all under malay...

like how we lump all australian as aussie ppl....

those that been to malaysia/singapore and aware of the ethnic difference know lar...

those first time traveller..all will lump us as malay....
it takes time to explain to them...or unless they are interested to know the difference and learn...

that's why when my HK and Taiwan friends came..they very surprised how we know which is indian and which is malay. cox to them, malay and indian look exactly the same. they need time to get used to looking at those faces..we have, but they havent.

those that has been exposed to our ethnic difference know...

those 1st timer wont...to them, there is no chinese, malay and india in malaysia..

only malay.....

as in, only aussie in australia....no Torres Strait Islander or aboriginals.

our problem is, malay is a race as well.

Where as for others, it is not a race...but a name depicting citizen of that country.

well....call that clueless or whatever you want. but the many hongkies, taiwanese and PRC friends i met 1st called me as malay....

maybe it's because i am exposed to alot more...hence i can see the difference. where as if u have only 1 info, u would insist that being right...until you're told of a 2nd info..then u realized, 'eh, actually got ppl think this way one'...

i beg to differ...

when i was in china....some of those prc ppl i came across, were surprised malaysia people can speak mandarin....they thought we only speak malaysian...i doubt they even know how malaysian language sounds like though, lol....

and when i was in taiwan, my taiwanese friends introduce me to their local friends..and they all say things like below :
"so you're a malay?"
"i didnt know malay people skin so fair. i thought it's spose to be darker"
"why is there a malaysian chinese? arent you malay? like australia = aussie? Malaysia = malay?"

yes..i have one helluva time explaining to them in multiple night markets spread across multiple days...

and when i was in HK..my friend's mum, thought we are Malay..until recently when TVB starts expanding their relationship with astro..only then they realized there are malaysian chinese who speaks mandarin, cantonese and hokkien hakka etc...
