BRITISH ENGLISH VS. MALAYSIAN ENGLISH

Really a good laugh to share.......


Who says our English is teruk? Just read below - Ours is simple, short,

concise, straight-to-the-point, effective etc.





WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS

Britons: I'm sorry, sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in

your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for

you.



Malaysians: No stock.





RETURNING A CALL

Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone call for me a few moments

ago?



Malaysians: Hello, who call?





ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY

Britons: Excuse me, I would like to get by. Would you please make way?



Malaysians: S-kew me.





WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION

Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter

through this door?



Malaysians: (pointing at the door) Can ah?





WHEN ENTERTAINING

Britons: Please make yourself right at home.



Malaysians: No need shy shy one lah!





WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE

Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money.



Malaysians: Where got?





WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER

Britons: I would prefer not to do that, if you don't mind...



Malaysians: Don't want lah.





WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE.

Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice? I'm trying to

concentrate over here.



Malaysians: Shut up lah!





WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.

Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment..



Malaysians: Die lah!!





WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG

Britons: This isn't the way to do it. Here, let me show you.



Malaysians: Like that also don't know how to do!





WHEN ONE IS ANGRY

Britons: Would you mind not disturbing me?



Malaysians: Celaka you!





So which would you prefer? Send this to your Malaysian friends and let

them have a laugh too. Good day!
