Sorry but thats the biggest load of shite I have read from anyone living in Malaysia. Having lived in the UK for a number of years in my youth, I would say people in the UK have no personality nor are they half as friendly and courteous as Malaysians are....lets be honest, most brits can't even speak english properly anyways....

so at least that's not generalistic/racist/hypocritical then!!!!

Good to see moderators so objective and professional in their comments.

Hi. We are a group of expats who play squash every Monday around 7.30PM at a Bangsar condo. Recently we've been running a bit thin on attendance as some players moved out of KL. Our game is played at pretty decent level (not pro but way higher than intermediate, in Oz scales we play a high B or an early A game). Looking for a couple of competent players to join us.
