Sorry I don't speak perfect English but sorry, you can't speak Mandarin!

As a Malaysian, we tend to end our sentence with our Malaysian (not Singaporean, okay?) signature word "lar". Sometimes, we like to add our own ethnicity flavor. For example, a typical Kuala Lumpurian would say "Why you so stupid one?" or "Where got??" (the classic one). This does not make sense in English grammar because there is no verb in that sentence. And what is the function that "one" at the end of the sentence? I have to admit that my English sounds like a typical Malaysian Ah Beng English but hey, at least I have no problem communicating with anyone with English!

But here is one thing that what most of the Americans, British, Australians, Canadians, Europeans and the "bananas" in Malaysia and Singapore CANNOT do - speak Mandarin!

I know there are lots of Chinese haters out there. For examples:
  1. Europeans hate Chinese because they are defeated by the Chinese in so many ways - just have a look at Dota scene and you will see lots of Chinese haters in European platform.
  2. Australians and Canadians hate the Chinese for being richer than them (sounds so familiar!!!!).
  3. The "bananas" hate the Chinese simply because they think they are better than the Chinese although they share the same color.
But hey, go fuck yourself in your own little world please. Last week China just replaced Japan as 2nd economy power in the world and USA will be pawned very soon too. Oh yea, just for your information, McDonlad just issued the first ever Yuan denominated bond. Yes I am not kidding - Yuan has slowly become a hard currency! This is the first Yuan denominated bond in the history and this will not be the last. Capital market is seeking capital from China as the rest of the world is still suffering economy downturn and is not able to provide the capital the investors need.

Hey Chinese haters, it's not too late to learn how to speak Mandarin now. I believe in the very near future, we'll be all seeking capital from China instead from USA.
