(Disclaimer: The above information is only best to my knowledge. I hold no responsibility for inaccurate information.)

Despite the fact that the British and the American are the two biggest English speaking nation, they seems to contradict in many ways and remain extremely distinctive.

On the hand Malaysian a nation which was ruled by the British for more than a century, remain strongly influenced by the British.

However I wish Malaysia can also follow the British foot step in ensuring less number of toll roads and educating the public to become more courteous on the road.
