1MDB: The inside story of the world’s biggest financial scandal
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/...candal-malaysia

Became a lot more proud since living overseas in a cosmopolitan city.

People who only met brown folk from India having full blown 15 mins back and forth with me coz they cant brain how I am of Indian descent but never touched Indian soil.

white people?

they dont know what is the diaspora...?

Actually...

Malaysia was the first country to introduce biometric passports (e-passports) with embedded chips in March 1998, developed by local company IRIS Corporation, making them a pioneer in secure digital travel documents before global standards were set.

Malaysia's MyKad, introduced in 2001, was the first country in the world to issue a national identity card with an embedded microchip, storing biometric data (photo, fingerprints) and serving as a multi-purpose card for driving licenses, e-cash, ATM access, and more, making it a pioneering smart card.

So there are something we can proud of

I don't see why not. I am born in Malaysia & of course proud to be Malaysian.

Just because politicians give the country a bad name doesn't mean we have to be ashamed of our nationality. All countries have their share of problems & there's no such thing as a utopia country in the real world.

Ashamed when foreign customer ask about MO1

Proud when Malaysian mature enough to remove MO1 through vote

Ashamed when people ask about bumiputera policy that tongkat the majority over 60 years

Proud when most Malaysians can talk at least 3 languages

At least when we travel. I can say I am Malaysian Chinese not wumao

People will laugh behind your back, thinking this sohai so proud of being a second-class citizen, while the China Chinese can be proud that they will have a superpower country sooner or later, regardless of all the attacks from the West.

You should say Chinese Malaysian … adjective+noun. Race is adjective and nationality is the noun. e.g. chili sauce, fire truck, bat man etc …

The term Msian Chinese often use in Msia and understood by local but confusing to English speaking foreigners …

It is understandable that our ancestors atill consider themselves as part of China citizens that reside in Malaysia therefore Msian Chinese …

Wumao lickers spotted .

to me, feeling proud or ashamed of a country is silly - unless youre the one contributing to its greatness (or shame), youre just being proud of someone else's achievements.

it's like being proud that your neighbour's kid got straight As; good that you're happy for them but its not your achievement. you care only if you dont have much achievements of your own.

what i want is that malaysia succeeds and malaysians are happy. you dont need to be the best athlete or smartest guy in the world to make malaysia a slightly better place, in whatever way a person can. do something rather than just feel.

I got maki hamun by a half malaysian before for mistakes goverment made longtime ago.

Now smarter you tak suka you keluar saja and live with your other half blood country. No need scold me for nothing just to vent your anger.

Hopeless for Malaysia.
If PAS/UMNO rule also die
PH rule more or less the same way, won't die, can't be easy too.

Malusial

It feels like systemic evil, a system that keeps failing people.

Until now Pastor Koh and Pamela Ling are still not released and talking about achievements in this context feels meaningless.

The victims and their families are very angry, yet they feel powerless and can do nothing.

ps. someone is being released soon. Not the ones who should be !

Why not both?

Tell them you from ccp

always had a giggle whenever ayam saw the MGAG meme calendar .

we all have our faults but the banters is what makes us family

At these stage, i feel that countries like US, Canada , UK, AUS, EU have bigger shame than us.
We can still walk on the streets and feel safe.

I only feel ashamed having ts here

fixed

Yes. Because foreigners always say we are dirt, do half way job, acting like first class citizen but attitude like kampung, talk big action less, and also b40.

Kemaluan saya adalah sangat besar. 🥲

sudah lah
gi cari ukeke

Don't be ashamed, 1MDB MH370 LCW are the things that made malaysia famous, if not half of the world still never heard of this small country

Our food is better than singapore!

It is true. However, their edu system teaches children to be patriotic, loyal, proud and love their own country no matter what. Similar to other Eastern countries … groom from young.

In other countries, if you talk bad about their country they will defend and tell you not true or isolated case or there are more goodies than bad, BUT in Malaysia like people on LYN, we proudly step in to concur and provide more examples on why we suck … Msians oddly not raised to appreciate what is good in Malaysia, we raised to focus the negativity of own country and positivity of others …

In reality, Malaysia has more goods than bad as compared to others …

This one I can agree as a Malaysian

You should show them what you got.

Both, depends on topics.

Of course, actually almost every country politicians are songlapping and citizens are pretty unhappy with them, just see Thailand and Indonesia etc. Malaysia is not too bad compared to other countries, people are friendly, almost free healthcare good place to retire, not much natural disasters

feeling hopeless for Malaysia, the politicians and the people, especially the peaple.

Take that u Korean small PP

Yes...that's a good start..

Why do other people's feelings on it matter?

You're the one staying here, aye?

tbh the only thing proud of is our language skill.
anything else (politics, infrastructure, civic-mindedness, racial relationship etc), disgrace.

we have tall towers

it should be proud

Bodo question. Lu tak suka lu kuluar.

shame and proud at the same time..

One day you will grow up and realize that your country does not define who you are. You can be yourself whether or not you are proud of your country. The important thing is to be proud of yourself and in order to do that, just be a good person and not an asshole.

if u mean like very proud, above all others kinda proud probably no, atleast I wont hide/change where I come from, can say loudly I'm malaysian.

This

From a pure technical POV, the ICAO Document 9303 biometrics passport standard is a downgrade from what Malaysia had in 1998

Also, Malaysian passport renewal times. No other country will give you a new/renewed passport within the same day like Malaysia

That was over 20 years ago, Nokia phone era. Technology evolve, what about in recent years?

It depends on who you ask. If you are the demographic that benefits from the country's mismanagement, then you will defend and sing praises. Eg US, many hate trump and will tell you the country is going to shit, managed by idiots. But if you ask republicans, they will say USA is the best.
Same here, if you ask certain puak who benefit from institutionalized racism, then they will say it is the best and defend it even though all religion says racism is wrong.
