_INFORMATION CENTER_
a) Apartheid
Malaysia was very against it. You could say it's a rule. White people have higher status while Black people have lower status. Malaysia being a multiracial country was against it along with other Asian countries.
b) Tong Hua or Fairy Tale
It's a Chinese language song that is sung by Malaysian singer, Michael Wong or rather well-known as Guang Liang. It is very popular among Chinese speaking countries such as Singapore, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
c) Hello Kitty Land
A new attraction that has opened not too long ago in Johor along with Lego Land. Lego Land is a MUST GO, if you're in Johor. The place itself is like Disneyland.
d) Malaysia has Good English
It is proven that it has higher proficiency in that. The top in Asia.
e) Malaysia as a tourist attraction
Tourist arrival in Malaysia has increase, sending Malaysia to the second place of Tourist Arrivals in 2012 after China. Malaysia is actually a top tourist destination in ASEAN, second in Asia, 10th in the world.
f) Multilingual?
Yes Malaysia is a multilingual country and has many languages listed including Manglish. Malaysia could be another melting pot.
g) A good piece of art
That's one of Japan's doujinshi's drafts. Many believe that he draws all of those...scenes that will send you nosebleeding all the way. Taiwan and Hungary are also believe to be into those kind of stuff.
h) The song used in Tourist Arrival is 'Be Our Guest' from the Beauty and the Beast.
i) ASEAN Summit
Members are Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Brunei and Myanmar. In Hetalia, meetings are useless!
j) ASEAN + 3
ASEAN countries with China, Japan and South Korea. These three East Asian countries are famous for their economies. Japan has electronics and car parts to prove it, South Korea has Samsung Galaxy and China... the term copyright would always come to mind when you're thinking of China's economy.
k) ASEM
Asia-Europe Meeting
If this is Hetalia, nothing is ever normal here. You can expect tons of crazy stuff from there. Some family reunion and so on...if it's England and his former colonies...expect them to get on England's nerves.
l) Commonwealth Meetings
A huge family reunion indeed! I love whoever wrote 'Golden Rules to a Successful Commonwealth Meeting', that person is a total genius! Please use PROPER and FORMAL English. It's obviously Malaysia and Singapore are not using it. England is becoming like Germany here!
m) Temple Cave is in Batu Caves
The steps going up there are a lot but I'm sure there are other places which have a lot of steps that I will surely lose my breath before I even reach the half of the steps and would probably end up dying halfway. Rock climbing is also quite popular here as well as the Thaipusam celebration here.
n) Queen of Love Songs (Mandopop)
Goes to Fish Leong, also a Malaysian singer. The Prince of Love Songs goes to Michael Wong. They're quite popular, if you're Chinese, listen to their songs, it's nice especially Tong Hua and Yue Ding by Michael Wong.
o) Malaysian food taste better in Malaysia
According to some Japanese people, Malaysian food are the best in Malaysia. It's written in The Star Newspaper. Malaysian food in Japan does not taste well as the Malaysian food in Malaysia. I don't know whether it's true since I haven't been to Japan but will go there one day to watch the sakura and buy anime!
p) Flashmob
My mother too, was wondering what's going on when people just act like normal people started dancing! Never get to see one for myself. Consider my mother is lucky! It happened two years ago I think so.
q) New Kung Fu move is based on Finger Piercing Coconut record by a certain Malaysian
Imagine Malaysia trying to show off a new move but got a finger stuck in the coconut instead!
r) Sugar Price Gone Up
True. Many Malaysians were complaining about it! Everything in Malaysia is getting expensive! Malaysians really get furious when the petrol price gone up a few cents.
s) Five Power Defence Agreement
Members are Malaysia, Singapore, UK, Australia and New Zealand. If Malaysia or Singapore were attacked or receive a threat of an armed attack, they are to consult England to plan a strategy or something like that.
t) Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah (February 8, 1903 – December 6, 1990)
Malaysia's first Prime Minister. Also known as the Father of Independence (Bapa Kemerdekaan) and as well as the Father of Malaysia. The very same person who help Malaysia gain independence from the British. He has honours from several countries including Belgium, Tunisia, Singapore, Cambodia, Brunei, Thailand, South Vietnam, South Korea, England, Australia and the Philippines. The only Prime Minister I'll ever admire.
A/N: I hope you guys like it or at least understand it. I'm still weak at writing longer ones but I will still try my best. Spent many days writing this. Dear Malaysians, do not deny Malaysia as your country. Malaysia is our home and will forever be our home. Enjoy some Malaysian cuisine at the same time.
"There is no place like home"
Malaysia Boleh! I will give my full support on my country not the corrupt politicians running it! They are just tainting our beautiful country with their 'war'! Malaysia is a beautiful and wonderful place to be at right now if you would just ignore the war between politicians. Gender of Malaysia would either be male or female, your pick. Do tell me what you think about Malaysia. Have any ideas? Just PM! Together we shall rule the world with our Manglish! Malaysia Boleh! Terribly sorry about the cover image, it refuses to cooperate with me!
