Malaysia is a totally differant ballgame. Corruption at the Government level , down to the police department dictates the reason I like to have as little to do with them as possible.
If you dont mind, I would rather leave things at that, until I can come up with statstics, and facts.

IMO, both are about bribing the right officials. For instance, in Malaysia, you get pulled over and they ask to see your fingers. That tells them how much you have to bribe them. That or they threaten to take you to the magistrate and it is a weekend or you can pay the fine and they will take care of it for you, "Gentleman to Gentleman".

In Malaysia, you might be better served if you change your name. You already have the religion so change the name and you can get further ahead.
