Malaysians are the most friendly people but put behind the wheel they become MFMs (Me-First-Malaysians). As a traveller just keep in mind, people drive on the left side here and look to the right and the left before crossing the road (lots of one-way-streets) The following is from a funny email I received recently.

Malaysia is becoming a major attraction for health care tourists due to it’s reasonable prices and state-of-the-art equipment.
