This is a typical scenario on the Federal Highway, both sides of the road are on a bumper to bumper crawl. It’s not rush hour. You figure there is an accident in front and you have no where to run. The day is scorching hot, your car temperature is rising and you are running out of patience.
30 minutes later you approach the cause of the problem. But hey, wait it is actually on the opposite side of the road. You curse, you swear, you blame all this “keh poh chee” who stopped to look AND then and you do it yourself.
Then out of no where the fella right behind you, being a typical Malaysian, stared at the incident for a few seconds too long and whacked straight onto you.
Now, we have 2 accidents.
One caused by some wannabee race car driver hovering recklessly tryingto kiss a car’s ass. The other, a moronic keh poh chee driver who forgot he has to look straight.
And the jam goes on for another 2 hours.
Try this one day if you don’t believe it.
Stand on a busy street or a shopping mall area crowded with people, then, look up at the sky and point your finger up to it air at something. Hold it. Hold it. Wait for a few more seconds and see how many other keh poh chees will stand there with you and start looking at where you are pointing.
On another occasion, a woman screams, a thief just grabbed her handbag and shoved her to the ground. Well of course no Spiderman will appear to save the day, but a few fellow Malaysians who heard her holler instinctively ran and jumped on the thief just in time. Of course, the guy is beaten up to some blue and black hue, but hey! that’s what you get for bullying a woman.
“keh poh chee - ness” a typical malaysian culture, either way its good to have ‘em. Malaysia Boleh!!
