Malaysia Day is approaching! As a Malaysian, we are proud of having everything in Malaysia that has helped to shape our culture and identity.
Here are the 6 things that make us passionate about Malaysia:
1. Food Paradise

Malaysia is renowned for its diverse cuisine and is considered as a food paradise. As a Malaysian or tourists, we will undoubtedly fall in love with the country. For instance, Penang is famous for its Rojak, Prawn Noodles, and Assam Laksa. Melaka is known for its Ayam Pong Teh, or Hainanese Chicken Rice. Different types of food represent different areas that make us salivate.
2. Bahasa Rojak

In Malaysia, almost everyone is practising the bahasa Rojak and speak using rojak slang like leh, loh, lah. We incorporate multiple languages in our daily conversation. This truly improves ties between races. As a result of the diversity of races in Malaysia, we are always learning from one another and, as a result, Malaysians are accustomed to speaking in a variety of languages in everyday conversation.
3. Milo

Milo is very famous among Malaysia’s kids and it is our favourite breakfast drink. The popularity of Milo is obvious to all, we even have different versions of Milo, including the most powerful Milo Dinosaur!
4. Calling “Boss” for everyone

In Malaysia, everyone is a “boss”. We can always address a stranger or the staff as “boss” at either mamak stalls, fruit stalls and etc. We don’t work for them but we can always call them “boss”. This makes everyone friendly and respectful and it is the way that we like it.
5. Badminton Passion
Is there anyone who is not proud of our Malaysia’s badminton team? Badminton is one of the most famous sport in Malaysia. It is also a childhood memory for Malaysian kids especially when Datuk Lee Chong Wei won a tournament, many of us would definitely get ready in front of the TV, cheer and shout for it!
6. Rainforest & Beaches

There are numerous “Jewels of Earth” in Malaysia, including well-preserved rainforests, unique islands, and beaches that allow us to escape the metropolis. Regardless of where we are in Malaysia, there is always a fair chance that we can reach all of these natural wildlife.
