I came across a similar article (don't remember where it's from, though) and got this sudden urge of sharing one too.
What differs Gen-Y Malaysians from their Gen-X parents and ancestors? And how are young Malaysians generally different from teens from other countries?
1. They love JEANS.

Everywhere you go - cinemas, beaches, malls,
mamak stalls, offices and government buildings, even their own homes. I believe it is going to replace our
baju kurungs,
cheongsams and
dhotis as our new traditional costumes in the future.
2. They wear LESS.

From long sleeves to sleeveless, from covering the whole head to
tudung-less - I'm quite sure that Malaysians are one of those people who show more parts of their skin than citizens of other stricter Muslim countries. I won't object this *decreasing* trend, 'cos, let's face it, the weather isn't getting any cooler.
3. They love SUNGLASSES.

Stop a private ride and get the driver. 80% of the time, those dudes and dudettes will be wearing sunglasses, even at night.
"Kool what."
4. They love modifying their PROTONs, and kill themselves by showing off.

It doesn’t really matter whether you’re an
Ah Beng or a
Mat Rempit. You should check the Malaysian death toll for road accidents. Chances are, those cars are just like yours, filled with car tattoos and loud engines and a blaster speaker system.
5. They MAT SALLEH lah. Cannot blame them lah.

They feel weird listening to other Malaysians speaking broken English, but are totally comfortable with foreigners (esp.
angmohs) speaking broken Bahasa Melayu.
6. They LEPAK, all the time.

Do you know where is the easiest place to find the most typical of Malaysians? The
mamak stalls, of course. Don't worry, they'll be there 24/7, office hours included.
7. They don't know their NEIGHBOURS.

They definitely spend more time facing the TV and computer screens than the uncles’ and aunties’ faces on the other side of the fence.
“Tak de masa lah…”
8. They are not exactly the CLEANEST people in the world.

Walk down any random street, or into any random coffee shop’s toilet. What do you see?
Sampah,
sampah, and more
sampah. That’s why companies like
Alam Flora and organisations like
DBKL will never cease to exist.
9. They don’t even know that there’s a FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIA.
Ask them about any EPL player (first-teamers, reserves, even youth players), and they will answer you with maximum confidence.
Ask them about one of Malaysia’s national footballers, and they’ll pause for a
looonnng time. Ask them two, and they’ll say
“tukar topik lah.”
10. They just love it -LAH.
Trust me, we say -lah A LOT.
