I heard this from my brother.

An American,a French and a Malaysian were chatting in the kopitiam.
The American farted, and said..."I'm sorry".
Next, it was the French...he said "Excuse me".
Finally, the Malaysian farted...what did he say?
*Minta maaf? Dui Bu Qi?*....WRONG!
He said "Oh, not me! Not me!"

Proves that we catched the kiasu-flu from our fellow neighbour.
Yala,Malaysians are abreast with Singaporeans in terms of kiasu-ness.

On the road:
"Hmmmp!...Want to cut in ah?Next life la!"
"Ei, that fella just potong my lane!...Overtake, overtake!"

Also seen in schools:
A: "You know how to solve Q2 ah?"
B: "Don't know,don't know (but completed the calculation)."

Apparently,
The kiasu fever has come to a state where young girls are competing to lose virginity (What?!)...
Where neighbours are comparing whose aloe-vera plant is larger...
Where people go to KTV just to sing louder than those in the neighbouring box...

Minority of them kiasu until don't want to accept the fact that Arsenal lost to Barcelona (I am the minority, Arsenal WILL win next year!)

What's the psychology behind CKB (Compulsive Kiasu Behaviour)?
Arises due to insecurity?
Feeling every need to outstand the others,
So that we feel superior?...
Perhaps we're just afraid that people will look down on us?
A very concerning epidemic.

Imagine grocery shopping involving CKB...
Location: Giant, Carrefour, Tesco...(Where ever you get your groceries)
Aunty A took the 1KG Milo, then aunty B came and the 3KG Milo was off shelf...
Immediatly, aunty A switched the 1KG to 5KG (where can lose?)...
Then both ended up with the heaviest pack.
Walau...same goes at the maggi-mee alley, campbell soup alley...
Imagine people buying bras in La Senza...
Waahahaha....must buy the biggest size...(then cannot fill...how?decorate your windows ah?...dangling curtains...not bad)
I'd like to see that.
Let's not live in denial, we are kiasu.
