mansae :
I've worked with many Malaysian Chinese before and they are truly people who love politiking in the workplace. Typical behaviour include going all out to suck up to superiors, back stabbing coworkers at the same level (despite even being lunch kakis and seemingly close) and bullying those under them. Many Singaporeans have the false impression that jhk are humble, naive, easy going just because they come from a poorer country. These are usually people who have never worked with one. JHKs have way more tricks up their sleeves than naive Singaporeans who grew up in sheltered environments. They are people who go all out to defend their ricebowl unlike sheltered Singaporeans. Wait till you work in accountancy where there are plenty of jhk. They're the most toxic people to work with, arguably worse to work with than prcs.
share with y'all a funny story:
I worked with a bunch of jiuhus who ganged up and were downright mean to me and but when I got promoted to their HOD and got to do their appraisals and decide their pay raises/bonuses, suddenly 360 change and go all out to por me, everyday help me dabao food, super attentive to my needs, make me handmade gifts for bday etc. That's how 2 faced they can be. If I didn't know them earlier, and went in straight as their HOD, I wouldn't have known/imagined what their true characters were like.
