How Malaysian are you?
Regardless of our race, creed and colour, we are united by one element that makes us special in every way - our Malaysian way. Be it our need to talk loudly on the cell phone, or 'force feed' our foreign visitors in the name of hospitality or somply 'forgetting' to queue up at the bus stop, these are the factors that make us truly 1Malaysia.
This Merdeka Day, we want to know just how typical a 'Malaysian' you are. Take this quiz to find out if you're the model Malaysian who is yet to be discovered.

19 to 26 - Quite the typical Malaysian
So, you're not as bad as the typical Malaysian but if you're not careful, you'll fall into that category. You still have the potential to brush off the bad Malaysian habits and lead an almost perfect life.
10 to 18 - The model Malaysian
It's amazing that you weren't tempted to follow the laid-back, tidak apa attitude of most Malaysians. But that doesn't mean you're a bad citizen. You're actually the good Malaysian we try to be. Thank you for existing.

Happy Merdeka Day yo!
