you, malaysian driver, way to go!
You know, one of the things that never cease to amaze me is how Malaysian drivers would help each other on the road.
I am not talking about your car breaking down and shizzle like that. If you don’t have AAM, consider yourself well and truly fucked, unless there are some honest-to-goodness Samaritans left in this world who would actually stop and help you with your car troubles. Then you would have to go buy the lottery the next day, because in this day and age, this practice is almost extinct, possibly fearing for their own lives and what-not. I mean, even if you were the recipient of this kindness, you can never know. Didn’t you watch Zodiac?
No sire, I am talking about the unspoken practice of flashing your car’s headlights to inform drivers on the opposite side of the road of speed traps and police road blocks ahead.
It is one of the things that make me go warm and fuzzy inside. It makes me feel very Malaysian, and much love for our fellow countrymen/women. A small thing like that makes me feel more united than any national service could ever hope to achieve.
After all, we are only tolong-menolong bekerjasama mencegah jenayah rasuah. That is a good thing, no?

Flashing headlights to warn of upcoming speed cameras and police road blocks etc is international. We’ve done it in Australia as long as I remember and I’ve seen and heard of it being done overseas too.
Still, it’s nice to know that people are looking after each others wallets.
then again they could just be flashing at the car in front of them to get the fuck out of the way….
Dabs: the way you wrote it was as if it originated from australia
it’s been in practise here for as long as i could remember… back to when i was a teeny tot in my dad’s car
eyeris: can tell one mah… heh
people who get caught for traffic offenses in australia are really quite… there is no polite way to put this.
i mean, COME ON, the traffic police aren’t even HIDING or positioning themselves behind large objects/in dark corners, so slow down and stop fucking around with your phone or whatever it is lah. but i am superbly annoyed with the ‘island’ obstacle course shit they have everyfuckingwhere here in brisbane, and the strange roads with speed limit of 80kmph which not only gets those who go ABOVE the limit, but those who go BELOW as well! must be so accurate! cibai anal bitches.
Suan – Eh? How you read it that way. I started by saying it is international, NOT saying it is Aussie thing. I just mention we’ve done it in Oz as long as I remember [which is before you were born], and I know it gets done overseas … never wrote it saying it originated in Aussie, otherwise I’d have said it originated here, instead I said was international.
But, I will claim that Milo was invented in Aussie.
That is something that originated here and went all over the world. 
And Rambutans are expensive here … so no rambutan and milo milkshakes in Aussie unless you’re rich.
speaking from someone who used to drive a car with perpetual highlights!
It’s a British thing, copied by everyone else. Just like everything else. Obviously.
Chen: Brisbane is doing weird things to you…
Dabs: dono? I misinterpret all the time. works for me
KY: eh kinda not like it’s my fault
you also couldn’t figure out how to fix it mah 
Grant S: i’ll need hardcore proof on that!!
Misinterpretation is also international!
Best to misinterpret for comedic effect! [That's what I do!]
