It's part of the local culture. It's the same on the road, ALOT of people can't be bothered to signal to change lanes, obey speed limits, give way, or do anything right on the road. Complete lack of discipline, manners and respect for the road and the people on it. The same can be said for just about everything else in this country.

Unfortunately, you are.

We can, but I'd have to go into politics and that's beyond the scope of this thread and the forum it's in. Basicly, look at the government, it's policies and you'll understand why so many have no respect for others, why so many are angry(alot of people are angry at the state of the country, they don't say anything about it, they may not even notice it themselves, but they are), and why there's no discipline and no decency.

Look at Japan's history, govt and policies. The OBVIOUS differences will tell you why we can't be like them. Again, I won't go into detail due to politics.

It's not human behaviour, it boils down to a lack of respect.

Indeed.

I was brought up to respect others and to do unto others as I would have others do unto myself. Looking at Malaysia, it's sad to say our politicians were thought otherwise and so have many other Malaysians.
