When it comes to Malaysia’s weather, there is an average of 210 days of thunderstorms in a year. A sunny day can become rainy in a matter of minutes. Besides, the air in the cities is pretty polluted, and people say that clothes get dirty on the roads very quickly.
This partly explains why Malaysian bikers love to wear their jackets backward. Even if it’s a clear and hot day, they always wear their jackets because a jacket protects them from the wind and dust while an open back provides the necessary ventilation. Many tourists say that seeing bikers wearing their jackets backward is a unique Malaysian feature.
it is its own country so stfu about "womens rights" sh#t when you havent been there. lived there for ten years and you made a stupid judgement based off of a poorly put together picdump on a country on which it was heavily focused on the muslim aspect of life. there are thai, malaysian, japanese, korean and many other nationalities that live there... you are a f@#ked up person for basing others lives on your standards. Again, stfu.
PS. Marilyn is correct, all countries have 'strange' traditions to outsiders.
