Hello… Who Is This Ah?
My girlfriend forwarded this to me. Have a laugh and take it easy today..
Somehow I feel that it really does happen somewhere in a galaxy not to far away…. Malaysia.
Every week, without fail, I get a phone call from a moron (99% are Malaysians) and the first thing the person on the line says is:
“Er… hello… who is this ah?”
Now I’m a patient guy, but some people deserve a smack in the head. You don’t call someone and ask THEM who’s on the line… my usual response would be:
“Why are you calling me if you don’t know who I am?”
Some Malaysians have near-zero phone etiquette. I don’t care if they passed their SPM or have a double degree in Physics. If the phone was the only thing we had to survive 99% of Malaysians would be dead by now.
Imagine calling the police station and asking them “Who is this ah?”
If you’re calling someone, I assume you know who they are. If you’re not sure it’s the person you want to talk to, say “Can I speak to XXXX please?” or at least say “Is this XXXX?”. I should probably write a book called “A Malaysian’s Guide to Staying Alive While On The Phone”.
I’m serious… sooner or later I’m going to shoot someone.
Anyone interested in a JV

Dear sir,
Very sad state of affairs, this telephone etiqutte tragedy is as old as or can be dated back to 80s when Civics Education / school administration & management changed to Moral Education, taught by / missed by / remote controlled by these new administors and managers.
2. Numerous complains have been recorded and highlighted, no avail.
3. The re adddress could and would be, the people who are receiving the calls on the other end must be made more WISE to teach / correct.
Thanks.
