Gord's Guide to 'Ah Beng' in Malaysia and Singapore

La La Zhai- A breed of Hongkong and Japanese Pop Culture

In Malaysia and Singapore, there's a special breed of male from people of Chinese Origin called the 'Ah Beng'.
Among themselves, they would identify each other as 'La La Zhai'.

To some, 'Ah Beng' may be a derogatory term to call them. To me, 'Ah Beng' deserves such term. It made them sounds like a group of very unusual and peculiar people.

True enough, Ah Bengs have very unusual taste and styles. Being overexposed to Hong Kong fashions and cultures through television, they at times, looks like a Hongkie, and sounds like a Hongkie.

They watched too much Wah Lai Toi and TVB.

It made me want to say , all Hong Kong males are AH BENGS. YES.. I repeat... ALL HONGKONG MALES are AH BENGS. Don't believe me???? go see the movie 'Young And Dangerous'...

What's so nice about being HONGKIE anyway????

Some small group of Ah Bengs have even more peculiar culture.... They Bloody want to be JAPANESE.
They wear pink color Hello Kitty on their shirt. They even look like some character out of Japanese Manga.

So...What's so nice about being JAPANESE anyway????



////////// What's so nice about being AH BENG anyway????
I can never understand.

They would wear striking colour clothes, preferably with imprints of Dragons on it.
Regardless of whether they wear shorts or long pants, it's always accompanied with a pair of sandals.

'Zhng My Car' Culture

Ah Bengs also like to 'pimp their ride'. In their own terms, they call it 'Zhng My Car'.
They like to modify their cars irrationally.

They'll remove their Silencers and replace it with NOISEMAKER exhausts.
They'll change the wheel rims to a much bigger diameter rim...yeah..... All Ah Beng loves 'Sport RIMS'.

Occasionally, the richer Ah Beng will install ridiculous Turbochargers that is out of the capacity of their cars (eg Kancil) to handle. YES.....like they would say ..."Eh, wanna see my TURBO ar???"

All their cars are tinted black. It's so dark, you practically can't see the driver from outside.


Regardless of whether their cars are Kancil, Wira or Mercedes Benz.... they are all TUNED BY RAZO...
Don't believe me????? you go and see the label of their cars...
///TUNED BY RAZO/////....... Yes... KANCIL ENGINE TUNED BY RAZO.... only in Malaysia and Singapore.

They also have 5Zigen and Evolution advertorial on their cars at all time.
