Thousands usher in new year


Happy Chinese New Year!!! This year is brand new year. In this year of Boar I do hope that everyone can live peacefully and happily.
Like usual, every first day of CNY, Our MCA will have an open house to invite all Malaysians from all walks of life to celebrate together the CNY. This is unique for having this culture for Malaysians to strengthen each other relationship during the festival. Ten of thousand of Malaysians even the visitors (foreigners) can also come and join together the celebration. There do have lion dance performance during that day. This has been created the situation even hotter.
But it is sad for me to say that most of the people attend this open house don’t queue up in order to get their foods. People there seemed that afraid they don’t have food to eat. So they wanted to grad their foods. For me this action is rather rudeness and spoils our image in front of the visitors. What will visitors think about for these rude actions of grading the foods? No only this, actually most of the Malaysians don’t really like to queue in order to get their turn. They like to cut the queue. Most Malaysians seemed that they are impatience. They can’t wait. They just wanted to get thing done soon. Like even driving the car, once traffic jam they will break the rule to use the emergency line.
I think Malaysians have to take this issue seriously and improved from the mistake that we did. In order to retain our good reputation we definitely have to change this bad habits.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR too!!!!
hmmm.... but i don't think that all the Malaysian are as rude as u pointed out in your article (as in not lining-up and cutting line)... maybe just the few of them... for me, i think most of the Malaysian are quite polite... they do queue up patiently and follow the rules... I think most of the foreigners do think that Malaysian people are friendly and that's why they are visiting us...
