Malaysia - UK: Cultural Diversity (part I)

Living in the UK is very different, not just the language and the people but the cultural and lifestyle is all significantly distinct. I would describe those differences in a series of entries, beginning with this. Just to compare, and maybe giving some idea to whom might be interested to come here in the future. It' doesn't mean that any place is better than the other, but we learn from the best and try to adopt to get better.

One of the obvious difference is in the UK, there are spread of power in many of the stuff: business, politics, etc. Electricity for example, is distributed to the household by several companies with the popular are E.On, N-Power, British Gas, Scottish Power and EDF Energy - to name a few. On the other hand, in Malaysia only one company is providing the electricity - TNB (at least  for peninsular Malaysia and some part of Sabah). With multiple of options, you can make you informed choice, whether it's to be price-based, service-based and other reasons. On the other hand, having only one company doing the job, you cant really do much - just pay the bill at the end of the month and complaining when  they decide to increased their rate :-)
