Meta Welcome to r/Malaysians!

140 Upvotes

Hello folks and welcome to r/Malaysia's sister sub, r/Malaysians!

For those who just clicked in and is wondering what the sub is for: This sub is essentially for Malaysians to talk and post about any other topics beyond Malaysia. Here is where you can post images, videos, create and join conversations and threads revolving anything that isn't quite about Malaysia but needs a Malaysian take on it, and more! Oh and this is a race, politic and religion-free sub 🙌🏻

Most major subreddits such as r/AITA, r/JustnoMIL, r/relationship_advice, r/casualconversation, r/malefashionadvice, r/Teenagers and what have you are usually centralised around people who reside outside of SEA and may not be valid to us locally and culturally but yet the demand for it isn't wide enough to sustain its own subreddit. r/Malaysians would (hopefully) be a good place for a catch-all of such threads.

We will be coming up with contest weeks soon, as well as accepting any other ideas you guys might have for the sub, so stay tuned! We are also still tweaking design and appearances as we go. Meanwhile, everyone is encouraged to start posting what they think fits the sub to get the ball rolling :)

Much love, r/Malaysia mod team.

tldr; r/CasualUK but for Malaysia.

UPDATE: This is not Matrix Parking’s first rodeo. They’ve done this to a british man, he was stuck and their machines couldn’t accept payment, the operator was of no help and he opened it himself and was arrested the day after because Matrix did a report. Passport taken away and he was stuck in Malaysia for months. Was forced to pay about Rm20k for bail, fees and fines. i finally managed to squeeze my car out from an opening to the left of the gate, thankfully i was driving a small car. others not so lucky.

Casual Conversation 🎭 Are female bosses generally harder to work with?

36 Upvotes

I have worked with a fair share of male and female bosses. Honestly, I have generally had a much better relationship with my male bosses. They are more chill, easygoing, approachable and willing to joke around.

With female bosses, I have often found them more prone to micromanaging, being stricter, controlling and demanding.

Is it just me or anyone else experience the same thing?

I recently bought a preorder oneplus at a good price imo. I thought it was a win! But the seller keeps on poaching me to cancel with rude communications and finally they cancelled it. What a sad case!

It was not my fault shopee are giving out discount vouchers, thats the main reason we are using the platform anyways. Now it’s just a joy killer knowing your items that you bought using vouchers might be cancelled due to shop do not want to own the prices.

Mildly Menarik Racer snails, one of our native freshwater species

Post image
29 Upvotes

Vittina waigiensis, the red racer snail or siput timba merah.

A small (3 cm) freshwater snail that lives in clean coastal streams with high flow and many rocks. It is not tolerant of turbid water and silt.

It feeds on microalgae, filamentous algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and organic biofilm scraped from hard surfaces using a specialized radula (“tongue”). They are the natural cleaners of their habitat.

They have separate sexes. When their white eggs hatch, the planktonic/veliger larvae wash downstream where they require brackish water to develop.

Their bright colours, peaceful nature and algae-feasting tendencies makes them popular aquarium inhabitants.

Help ⚠️ TNG E-wallet, facing Fraud/Scam

• Upvotes

So earlier I’ve made a small amount of transaction (about RM40) online through Tiktok, it was supposed to be a trade between MYR with an in-game item. The seller had multiple proofs and people vouching for their legitimacy, so i caved in and bought the item, but in the end they blocked me after receiving the payment.

Here’s the transaction background: I am from Malaysia and made a payment through TNG E-wallet using the QR code they gave which directs to an Indonesian bank account. This is a red flag I should’ve noticed earlier because if a scam occurred, it’s usually really complicated and hard to retrieve or file a report.

I have filed a report to TNG through the fraud/scam report form, however I’ve noticed one of their policy stating “an authorised payment despite being tricked/scammed is not eligible for a refund.” Now i’m seeking for advice if there are any ways to receive a refund? I know it’s only a small amount (RM40), which is why I am hesitant on filing a police report that involves international authorities, i tried to called the 997 line, but they told me they’re only capable of freezing local transactions.

I am hoping to grab some advice or hope from people who too had such experience and managed to get their refund.

I have all the evidence of the scam, including the communications/messages, the QR code they gave, the transaction ID etc. Please tell me if theres any additional needed

Mildly Menarik Invasive belida in Malaysia

Post image
112 Upvotes

Chitala ornata, the clown knifefish or belida bintik/tompok.

An invasive species that came from the Mekong. It has spread to ponds, rivers and lakes throughout Malaysia due to releases by people.

Pet stores sell the babies of this species cheaply, but they grow to 100 cm which means most people cannot take care of them and end up releasing them.

They are predators that eat our native fish as well as outcompete native belida like the giant featherback (C. lopis). In fact clowns are more common than them now.

They are a food fish in Thailand where the meat is minced to make into traditional fish balls and fish cakes. These products are even exported into other Asian countries where they are popular.

Advice ☎️ Relationship advice

58 Upvotes

30M. I’ve been in a relationship with my gf for one year. I like her very much. I like her personality. And we can have endless conversations about anything.

However, we’ve been discussing about our future which will be marriage. But we seem to have different views on certain things and the future that we want to build. Firstly, we disagree on having kids. For me, I would see myself as being a father in the future and bear the responsibilities that comes with it. But she doesn’t want to have kids as she told that she doesn’t see herself being a mother and sacrifice for kids.

Secondly, I’m more of a saver and invest type of person. I believed in delayed gratification. But her spending habits are different than mine. She believed that if u don’t spend ur money now then what’s the point of working hard and saving it just to enjoy when u r old. We actually have a few arguments on these topics which make me wonder if we are really compatible to each other.

Yes. I do love her. But I’m not sure if I’m able to change myself and not regret and resent her later. What should I do?

Quick Question Iphone 16 pro, iphone 17, Iphone air or wait for iphone 18

0 Upvotes

I know this question is asked a lot but might aswell make it a monthly thing. I'm currently using a iphone 13 but the battery life degraded to 72% but don't get me wrong I'm in no hurry to buy a new phone even though I charge my phone 2-3 times a day. The iphone 16 pro is from compasia for RM2700 and iphone 17 is RM3000 for fair quality and slightly more for excellent. Additionally, the iphone air is on sale in machines for just 3600 new. Is compasia trust worthy or should I wait/spend a little extra on a new iphone 17/18.

Rant Malaysian Driving Instructor From Hell (With Proof)

307 Upvotes

Please think twice before choosing YEW ENG KIAT as your driving agent/instructor at Safety Driving Centre @ Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

I (21M) was referred to Mr. Yew Eng Kiat because he had a decent package of RM2,100 (manual) and was said to have early test slots. He convinced us that booking a JPJ test slot with an agent would be significantly faster. What followed was 16+ hours of a deeply unpleasant learning experience involving ear-splitting tirades of vulgar profanities, public humiliation, and extreme unprofessional practices.

I had 4 classes with him (4 hours each), followed by 1 extra class (1 hour). During my first class, he made me watch YouTube videos on RPK and RSM. He did briefly explain the engine in Mandarin, which was redundant anyway since the test was in English/BM.

On my 2nd lesson, he spent the first 45 minutes driving me somewhere so he could eat breakfast on my paid time. I didn't know I paid money just to spend my early mornings watching this man chomp down some nasi kandar. This pattern continued across the rest of the 4 lessons, he would also occasionally have me drive somewhere so he could buy cigarettes.

During circuit, he explained the formulas for each component. Initially, I thought this was great, but I soon realized how problematic his approach was. Not the formula themselves; but his rigid, overly literal interpretation of how they should be applied. For example, if I turned the steering wheel 1 ½ rotations instead of 1, even when adjusting for how close I was to a divider or the circuit boundary, he would yell at me for being stupid and not following instructions. Yet if I followed his formula exactly without accounting for my surroundings, he would berate me for having no brain and being incapable of thinking for myself. 

Apparently, I was just expected to follow his instructions to a T while simultaneously knowing when to disregard them, with no room for error either way. When he would go on a loud tangent about how I was an idiot, I'd just calmly breathe through my nose and realize if I was stuck in a job I hated with only one skill to my name, I'd be bitter and miserable too.

And he would often lean his entire sweaty body all up onto the driver's seat to turn the steering wheel and change gears for me, effectively performing the manuevres on my behalf. Whenever we completed the component in successfully, he considered it as a teaching success, meanwhile he did most of the work himself. Like, good job mate. The car might have been in the right position, but I barely learned how to do it independantly. 

Naturally, when I attempt the manouevres myself, I struggle to replicate what he had been doing for me. I eventually brought it up to him and asked if he could let me practise without constantly intervening physically and verbally with his big mouth. However, instead of understanding where I was coming from, he looked very displeased and would scrutinise my every move even further, seemingly waiting for me to make my next mistake. 

The impression I got was that he was more interested in proving that I couldn't manage without him than in helping me develop the skills to do so. Whenever I made a mistake, he treated it as a confirmation that I was incapable of doing things on my own. Being screamed at while trying to coordinate the clutch, accelerator, gears, and steering in his dilapitated car is no easy task.

When I did made mistakes, his screaming outbursts were genuinely so loud that people around the driving centre would turn and look. When I drove past other people in the circuit, I would make eye contact and hope people symphatised with me having to be in a car with satan's literal reincarnation. 

Even my dad witnessed his behavior when he visited. Sometimes, his driving instructor friends would walk up to him to chat, and he'd openly talk badly about me in front of me. I brushed it off because I didn't wanna get into it with someone of that temperament. 

This is not just a case of a bad driving instructor, but a man with arrested development unfit to be anywhere near a driving school becuase he takes his life's anger out on his PAYING clients.

Other than doomscrolling on this phone while I was driving on public roads as a learner, which seems tame compared to his other professional misconduct, his car was in the most DEPLORABLE condition I've ever seen. I don't think he quite grasps how bad his car was maybe because he's been driving it for the past 20 years, but it was horrible. 

The mileage was at 290,000km, the steering wheel was peeling, the seatbelts were stringy, the seat covers were torn, and the floors were never cleaned throughout the 2 months on-and-off I was with him. 

During my extra lesson with him, I stalled 4 times trying to get up the hill while he furiously unleashed on me. I finally had enough and snapped, I explained that I've never once encountered this in other manual cars, and that it was his worn-out car having issues, because I was genuinely at my breaking point.

He never had air-conditioning turned on the whole time during circuit, and whenever I questioned him, he could never give me a clear explanation. I didn't know it was because he was educationally stunted or he just couldn't come up with an excuse. I say this because he seemed incapable of getting through a single sentence without swearing. 

I later learned that it was because his car was so old that running the AC put additional strain on the engine. I don't know why I paid to be put through this torture. It wasn't until I drove other manual cars during my JPJ tests that I realized how much his car had been contributing to my struggles. The combination of the suffocating heat, his incessant screaming, and the condition of his car was so overstimulating that I sometimes contemplated just driving into a pole. jk

He also said he's never seen a stingier student than me all because I opted for a one-hour extra class instead of two hours? What the hell was he on about. I only needed a quick refresh because it had been almost 2 months since my previous one. Again, another brainless comment.

To give a lil more context on the kind of person he is, he once casually told me he shot fireworks at a mosque's speaker because he found it annoying. He also loved telling me about students who he referred to as ‘sohais’ who dropped out after one lesson without paying him, and whose parents subsequently confronted him about his teaching style. I don't know if he expected me to burst out laughing, but I didn't.

All in all, you'd think a man of his age (mid 50s?) would be grown enough to realize he's been externalising his life's misery onto innocent student drivers, but I guess not since he's been teaching for 20+ years. I met a lady in her 40s who went to him and had the same exact experience, so prospective students please read this and think again before choosing YEW ENG KIAT as your agent, unless you like being verbally accosted for being a beginner who, shockingly, doesn't already know how to do everything.

This is some more proof I managed to document: YEW ENG KIAT @ SDC GOOGLE DRIVE
