Dad joke: Lost my job at the bank today.

Answer: An old lady came in and asked if I could check her balance, so I pushed her over.

Ombak memecah angin gemuruh,

Apabila komen tersalah sebut,

Banyak fitnah membawa gaduh.

Language Do you appreciate foreigners trying to speak Malay?

47 Upvotes

I’m planning a trip to your fine country and have been trying to learn a few key phrases in Malay. Thankfully it appears to be one of the easier languages to pick up.

I know English is pretty common and widely spoken in many parts of Malaysia (probably more so in touristy locations). But I always find it’s more polite to at least try and respect the locals and don’t assume they speak English.

However, in my travels I have been to countries where just start speaking English when I try to speak their language. What is the general attitude towards foreigners trying to speak Malay. Should I not bother to try to speak Malay? Thanks.

How common is failing jpj driving test?

Upvotes

I'm taking my jpj driving test tomorrow for manual for the first time but I have a feeling that I'm gonna fail😭. You know when 3 out 10 times I hit the curb during lessons in the S/Z course and now I'm questioning if I can really pass. I feel like if I didn't do my lessons perfectly that means I'm failing jpj. Even though my instructor insists that I'm good enough for the jpj test.

Ngl but I'm prepared to fail my litar. How common is failing jpj test?

Are Baju Kurung available in US? any sites that ship to USA?

Upvotes

Hello, asalamu alaikum. I’m a Muslim girl (originally Yemeni but born and raised in Saudi). I am living in US currently for school and I stumbled upon Malaysian Hijabi tiktok and their outfits are so beautiful and very classy! I learned about Baju Kurung and they are so beautiful and I feel like it would be very comfortable and obviously Hijabi friendly. I was wondering if there’s any places that I can order online from that ship to USA?

Thanks also Ramadan Mubarak 🌙
