What’s something in Malaysia that locals think is normal, but foreigners find surprising?
Could be anything - leaving tissue packets or random items on tables to “book” seats, super late mamak sessions, unique driving habits, mixing unusual food combinations, spending entire weekends at malls, or other everyday things people here don’t even think twice about.
Sometimes you only realise how unusual certain habits are when someone from another country points them out. Things that Malaysians grow up seeing can feel completely normal to us but surprisingly strange to outsiders.
What’s a very Malaysian thing you thought was ordinary until someone else reacted with, “Wait… you guys actually do that?”
