Some Malaysians travel to their neighboring country for work, which is why the border between Singapore and Malaysia is one of the most crowded in the world. You just have to cross the bridge. Almost half a million people use this 4 lane road every day.
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.
