3 Things Brits do which Malaysians find strange

Since being in Malaysia I’ve learned that we Brits are known for a few oddities here and there. Here are just 3 (ish) of them

Spot on! You can also add bath to the list. Soaking in your own dirty water? Water washing your ass, going to your face? Ewww 😂

[@azharidris7092]

dude.. not wearing shoes in the house is an asian thing.. not just Malaysia.. your house is an extension of your bed.. not the extension of the streets.. its plain simple good hygiene.. Asia is a floor base civilization..

[@Marandaapuk]

Every westerner knows it most of the asian cultures. He mentioning specifically of Malaysia. Don't be surprised if you went to south korea or China mainland and there a lot of rich family didn't take off shoes..

I tried to wash dishes Malaysian way at my foster parent 's house in St Louis, USA. She complained that i was wasting water. Then i realised they are being thrifty.

[@PenguinuxVL]

Wasting water is cheap compared to our health and sanity

[@ahmadruzaini4646]

yup i wash my dish OCD way..food waste was clean first, rinse plate,soapscrub,rinse and dried..i think i save more water than using sink as a pool..

[@tcl1969yap]

There is no bidet in UK toilets and no water traps to remove water when washing toilet.

[@tanticitogal]

Outside shoes inside...eugh Leave those shoes inside the door, just common sense isn't it? Bringing outside dirt into your home? No way

[@daengzool6023]

Not only dirt, you could bring cow dung, dog, cat and chicken shit too?

[@ВадимВадимович-ь6т]

honestly I've lived in a western country and even there I've never seen anyone using shoes or slippers inside their house, everyone I have seen walks in the house barefoot... Not sure what he's talking about here

[@AzlindaRosAbdulAziz]

That's absolutely correct.... Can't help the differences.... Our culture, our climate and our daily routine are not the same, so... There goes the differences.... 😅

[@zurina9512]

Nice one mate..😊 Though I might add... not just Malaysians but.. Asians in general would flip at this unhygienic/ senseless..dishwashing‼️

[@bakiahshaharuddin8196]

To me, the concept of a dry bathroom. I couldn't keep my bathroom dry at all while living in the UK. The second thing is eating chips (we call it french fries here) with vinegar. So weird 😅

[@sanzo545]

Eating rice with a fork is the stupidest thing I've ever seen... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@zurina9512]

Fessing here...err now looking back donkeys years ago studying n living in the UK.... A good majority of us didi jusy that...ie Bring In Our Shoes Inside the House....ouch! Walk about in 'em...not removing 'em at the door.. Even had photos... It seemed natural, then.. Aduh...🙈🥺🇲🇾

[@ariffinsalim2999]

It is weird that Brits do not use an umbrella under the hot midday sun like us Asians 😂

[@keangwooichoo6138]

So many dirty dishes in uk. And dirty floors

[@ismatsabrinajid]

U dont rinse the soap from the plates? How logic cant brain

[@ВадимВадимович-ь6т]

I think he's lying

[@kamaruzzamanothman4431]

Here more hygiene than in the UK ?

[@fauzanriez9472]

In Malaysia there are times people keep shoes inside house. Its a trick to avoid mosquitoes inside. When mosquitioes see no shoes outside, there is no point hunting for blood inside because no one is in. Well, somebody told me this. If he lied, then I lie. 😅

[@Marandaapuk]

So funny i love it

[@nuts1755]

We use fork to eat rice if we didnt see any spoon around 😂😂

[@someoneIikedyourcomment]

🍞+🫘

[@wanasmav]

Strange because the Western perfected the spoon and the fork yet didnt use it at all 🤷🏻
