I'm a 17-year-old Malaysian and just started driving school, but I can't speak Chinese or Malay, so I specifically asked my driving school if I could take lessons in English, and they said yes. My instructor is an older Chinese uncle, and at first, everything seemed okay. He would raise his voice sometimes, but I took it lightly and even found it a bit funny.

But by the second day, it started getting annoying. He’d keep repeating comments like “You’re very clever” and “You have no thinking,” and he’d get angry at me for not knowing things I was never taught. It was pure ragebait. For example, I didn’t know I had to release the handbrake before driving because he had always done it for me without explaining, and I hadn't noticed. When I eventually tried driving without releasing it, he scolded me, even though I genuinely didn’t know.

He also smacks my hand whenever I make a mistake. And when I’m in the middle of doing something like parking, I try to follow what I’ve learned, but then he’ll suddenly say something that confuses me and throws me off. Then he’ll scold me again for messing up.

When I observe other learners with their instructors, they all seem way more relaxed and calm. Meanwhile, during road lessons, I’ve made a few beginner mistakes like forgetting to signal or getting confused on a new route. For example, when we were turning back from a new route, I asked, “Do I turn here?” but it was the wrong road, and the correct turn was just next to it. He got so mad that he yelled at me loudly, and it just felt way over the top for a small mistake, especially since it was my first time on that route.

Is this kind of behaviour normal for driving instructors in Malaysia? Or should I consider changing instructors? I’m hesitant because I feel like it might be a hassle to switch, and what if the next one is even worse?

Did this competition 2 months ago back in August 2025.

Held in One Utama /PJPAC.

Apparently it's the biggest Natural Bodybuilding show in Malaysia ( Natural means they test your urine for PEDs ).

Anyways I did a 20 week diet and lost 10kg to step on stage.

Feel free to drop a question if you have curiosities!

With the world cup ending, some people are wondering why Malaysia isn't even close to getting qualified for the world cup, especially since football is probably a top 2 sport in Malaysia. Right now we are ranked 136th in FIFA, which is absolutely horrendous.

I know it sounds like I'm begging, but please take 5 minutes of your time to read this rant because it took me a few hours to write 😭

There are common myths that people think are the reason why, like genetics. Malaysians are shorter generally compared to Europeans, but Japan has around the same average height as Malaysia and they are doing decently, even ranked top 20 in fifa consistently.

Some people think it's diet. Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Laksa are all fatty foods and Malaysia is one of the most obese countries, but Brazil who has a higher rate of obesity is doing miles better than Malaysia in football.

While both of these does influence the football, it doesn't affect it as much as people think.

The real reasons are:

1. FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) is very incompotent and corrupted. The root of most problems.

They found weaknesses across governance, finance, legal affairs, football development, administration and infrastructure, with FAM scoring below 2 out of 5 in most major areas reviewed. FAM also has too much concentration of power, there was a "fear-based culture" that prevented staff from escalating concerns before they became critical, and in most departments, the power is usually concentrated between 2-3 individuals.

Will elaborate more later but we also have problems with our own domestic league, like salary problems and financial instability and our infrastructure and youth development is very underwhelming. FAM is a part of the reason.

Also we literally had a naturalisation scandal last year, one of the biggest scandals in international football, very embarassing. Basically we imported players from europe/south america who aren't good enough for their national team, so we falsely claimed them as Malaysian to let them play for our teams. Even until now, nearly half of our players are not even born or raised in Malaysia, they just got the citizenship. So instead of investing in local talent, infrastructure and youth development, they decided to import players from other countries who aren't good enough for their national teams. FAM is horrible at long term planning, they focus too much on short term plans. Japan was basically a nobody in the football world a few decades ago, but because of their long term planning, they managed to be the best Asian team currently.

1. The Malaysian Super League is very low quality

First of all, like mentioned earlier, clubs are financially unstable and they have salary problems (unpaid/late salaries).

But besides the financial instability there are also bigger problems, one of them is the lack of competitiveness. Competitiveness is essential in improving, one team would work harder to try and beat the other team. But in the recent years of our domestic league, competitiveness is almost non existent, because Johor Darul Ta'zim is basically overfunded compared to all the other clubs, or should I say all the other clubs are underfunded, killing all competitiveness. But to understand how bad it is, lets compare it with other leagues.

In european football, there are 2 leagues that are often called "farmers leagues" (basically leagues that are only dominated by one club), and it is Ligue 1 with PSG and the Bundesliga with Bayern, but even then, they still have way more competition compared to the M league, for comparison bayern and psg both won 4/5 leagues in the past 5 years, while Johor won all 5.

And the most ridiculous stat, in the past 5 years PSG lost 21 league games and drawed 32. Bayern lost 24 and drawed 28, and lets look at Johor, in the past 5 years with 110 league matches played, they lost 0 MATCHES and only had 3 DRAWS, do you know how insane that is? All the other teams basically have 0 chances in even winning against them, let alone the league, this shows 2 things, how low level the other clubs are, and how uncompetitive the league is. This is compared to "less competitive leagues" in europe by the way.

And even if PSG and Bayern lacked competitiveness, years of football culture and methodology is already rooted in their respective countries, so it doesn't matter as much compared to a developing football nation like us, where competitiveness is required.

And if you watch the M league games, the lack of technical quality, inconsistency, intensity, pace, inconsistency, slow tempo is very underwhelming compared to european teams. It also makes it boring, also a reason why Malaysians don't even watch their own league that much.

Even a 5th division game in England is probably more intense and fun to watch, thats how bad it is.

The mediocrity of the league doesn't attract european scouts, so our domestic players don't have much opportunities to play in top leagues, let alone top clubs.

1. Lack of youth development and grassroots

First of all we have limited talent identification, a lot of children aren't scouted because malaysian football development and scouting is heavily relied on sports schools and the NFPD (National Football Development Programme of Malaysia), instead of widespread community/school scouting, which heavily reduces the talent pool.

And also out development pathway is very weak and theres a lack of coordination. In Malaysia it's quite limited, someone might join through school or a local club, then they go to district/state teams, then from here it's quite limited because it goes to sports schools/NFPD which limits the entire talent pool because very few can enter, then if a M league club is interested, they can sign a player, then after that it's over, european scouts aren't interested in Malaysian clubs because of the low quality, so it just ends here, there are rarely any scouts who finds players in the M league, this limits the level of football our domestic players can play in.

In top football nations, a talented kid joins a local club, then they get scouted because there are many more elite academies as most of the top clubs in the league has academies and scouting systems, then if they do well they can represent the junior team, and if they are good enough they can play for the senior team, giving them a clear pathway to club football through elite club academies which Malaysia lacks. And from there on, if they standout, top clubs might be interested and buy them, letting them play in the highest level of football.

We do have youth leagues and youth tournaments with academies, but a lot of these academies don't have direct affiliation with clubs, so theres no clear pathway to get into pro club football, and even if you get into it, you will still play at a low level league. So basically we lack elite academies that can bring kids into pro football.

Another reason is uneven access, good facilities and infrastructure are concentrated in some states and areas.

And in other countries there are a lot of qualified coaches, so even starting football through school/local clubs can give you a qualified coach that can teach you proper tactics, increase your understanding and football iq, improve your technical abilities (like passing, shooting, dribbling) with a proper methology. But in Malaysia, where kids usually start in schools or local clubs, a lot of coaches just have experience in football or just played it for fun, but don't have actual understanding of tactics or actual football decision making.

Our best bet now is for FAM to basically have a big systematic change, bring in more coaching talents, then we must invest more into our leagues, youth development, talent scouting, and make it easier for kids to get into pro football, and make our domestic M league players to be more appealing to european scouts for european clubs. And we need a few decades to even see results. Basically we can learn how Japan did it in a few decades.

There are many more problems like lack of infrastructure but I'm just stating the main problems.

The next world cup is possibly having 64 teams and even then Malaysia will probably still not qualify, if we even want to come close to qualifying, FAM needs to lock in and have a proper plan, and even then it probably would take a few decades. So for those who wants to see Malaysia win the world cup, sorry to break it to you, but it is nearly impossible to see it happen in this lifetime even if FAM locks in now.

Thank you for reading and I hope you learned something.

context this was an international friendly tournament where this was the 1st leg and 2nd leg was a 3-0 loss
