I noticed that Malaysian bookstores and stationery shops all stocked 2B pencils mostly on shelves.

Why?

The actual standard for most developed 1st world countries today if you go to EU, UK and Japan, their is HB standard.

HB leads are less easier to smudge, neater and and cleaner.

Why 2B? Even B itself is already too much.

I dunno the difference.

HB bukan budaya kita

jangan persoal

2B or not 2B

Even America, UK and Japan most of their bookstores/stationery shops sell HB as standard.

2B is too dark and can be very dirty because it' easily smudged.

Not good for casual writing and long essays.

2B Black Standard

Don't question.
I'll go to police station and make report.

Because HB is invented by jews

For exam purposes. Diorang mau students jawab soalan betul2.

HB = hebrew = jew = harom...truestory

jgn menpersoalkan ni bukan budaya kita

2b to mark question paper la

The a b c d circle la

You go to most EXPERT* websites about pencil leads and read about their say.

All will tell you HB is the de facto standard around the world.

Only Malaysia lain daripada lain.

"HB occupies the very middle of the scale, and is included as the default lead in most mechanical pencils because of its suitability for writing."

"The No. 2 / HB grade pencil is the middle grade and is the most commonly used pencil for generic use. Harder grades are used for drafting and engineering, while softer grades are used usually by artists."
