    Here in Malaysia I always thought it was our third world mentality that caused drivers to speed up when approaching a pedestrian crossing, when in reality it was a leftover notion from our times as a former British colony.

      A lot of so called ‘third world mentality’ is just Victorian cultural norms that were imposed by the global techno fascists of the time (the British Empire).
