    WHAT MAKES US MALAYSIANS
    Esteemed judges, ladies and gentlemen,
    Welcome, everyone,
    to a celebration
    of the things that make us uniquely Malaysian!
    From our love for food,[slurp]
    To our quirky habits,
    let us embrace the unity that binds us together
    as one big diverse family.
    1. The Love for Food
    We eat round the clock,
    Roti-canai at five (a.m.)
    Kopi at ten,
    rojak at four,
    dim sum at nine,
    For Malaysians, any time is makan time.
    Eating is a national pass time, a shared delight,
    Grab Food, Food Panda,” Aah, hungry, just bungkus it,”
    Nom nom nom all day, all night long.
    2. Everyone is family
    “Hello, aunty, long time no see”
    “Anei, order please”
    “Kak, extra sambal”
    “Is everyone here related?”
    You see
    We make family trees like, no other
    We called strangers aunty, uncle, sis and bro
    From bang, kak, to dik and macha
    This everyone is family phenomenon
    Is a Malaysian cherished nom-nom-phenomenom
    3. The Infamous Manglish
    Malaysian garnished English, or simply Manglish
    It makes our teachers frown,
    though Manglish is quite renowned,
    yet we agree it is simpler to say…
    “Dei, makan d?”
    “Go where eat lor?”
    “Eh, cuba try Mekdi or Kepci”
    As ours is a hilarious mix of languages
    informal yet cryptic to the outsiders,
    A testament to our talents,
    loud and clear.
    It's like this (liddis)
    It's like that (liddat)
    McDonald's (mekdi)
    KFC? (Kepci!)
    Liddis Liddat
    Mekdi Kepci
    Easy Peesy Linggam Chilli Sauce Squeezy
    4. The Art of Jaga Tepi Kain
    Annoying as it is
    Jaga tepi kain,
    we take care of it all,
    New boyfriend? Wow, so handsome
    The village hears the call.
    Car accident? Where where where whereee
    Let’s ring the ambulance
    Exam stress?
    No need lah stress-stress
    Love it or hate it,
    We're there to help,
    no need to second guess.
    5. Our Unique Hospitality
    Hi Barbie
    Hi Barbie
    Hi Barbie
    Hi Ken
    Hi excuse me
    That’s not how we say hi over here
    We’ll go "Dah makan?"
    "Eat o-redy?"
    We can't bear to see a fellow Malaysian go hungry, oh my!
    At events and conferences,
    Abundant refreshments we display,
    6 meals we makan in a day
    No wonder we’re the most robust nation in Asia!
    You mean the fattest one, right?
    Well, for what it is,
    Food Hospitality is our signature,
    nom nom nom in every Malaysian way possible.
    So, dear fellow Malaysians,
    let us celebrate food Manglish
    The kinship of food and language
    Gathered round a table
    United in diversity,
    Our nom nom nom phenome-nom
    “Shh…..noo, it’s phe-ngom-ngom”\
    It holds us stronger than elephant glue.
    Thank you.
