I am actually quite ashamed to have you find this embarrassing moment in Malaysia. Growing up in Malaysia, I found it extremely hard to adapt to this kind of situation and often I will do the same as you did. Give them a good stare to make them feel guilty for their irresponsible actions. I am sorry that you have to encounter this situation, but I guess they are the older generation that can't seem to get their bad habit to away from them.

I've read your partner's blog too and I found out that you guys are living in Malaysia now to start up a steemtruck. I guess Ipoh is not the ideal city that you want to live. I guess Malacca would be a better choice in terms of living condition, food, and transportation. Just drop me a dm on Discord if you would like to know more about the city :)
