Why Malaysia is always be mistaken as Thailand or a country in Africa?


Travel Info
I have a friend who was lived in U.K for more than two years, he told me that many of his friends there do not know where Malaysia is and even worst, they event don't know that there is a country between Thailand and Singapore.

Travel Tips
Many in South East Asia don't know what countries make up the Scandinavian countries? Or where Belgium is. My point: "ignorance" is everywhere. UK is no different. You'd be surprised white Britain don't even speak proper english.

Personally I feel this kind of knowledge is next to useless. Why is it nescessary to know where Brussels is? It means little for a Malaysian accountant in Kuala Lumpur. Likewise a sales person in London would not need to know where Kuala Lumpur is located either. Knowledge if it serves no purpose is useless.

What? There is a place between Thailand and Singapore? Really?!?

The Brits are bad at geography - just watch any quiz programme on TV and see how many people get the geography questions wrong!
Unforgivable. I think everyone should know every country, its location and its GNP or they are not worthwhile as human beings.

Usually it's the Americans getting cracks about being bad with geography. At least it's nice to know that the euros aren't keeping up with it either....

means they dont bother to learn geography. i agree with 2nd answerer, it's not worthwhile a human being for not knowing the existence of other country.
