Watch: Mat Salleh Attempts To Pronounce Malaysian City Names, Hilariously Messes Up
We had our laughs back when the GPS voice navigation was new but this guy takes it to another level.
Westerners who have been to our country would describe Malaysia as a country with colourful languages. One Mat Salleh named David Zafer was so humoured by the name of our cities that he made it into a pronunciation challenge in Tik Tok. A Malaysian, @enna0op, found it soon after and now David has practically become a meme.

Surprisingly, he managed to pronounce some of the names correctly.
“He pronounced Semenyih accurately haha.”

Don’t get angry at him though, even locals have trouble pronouncing the names some of our cities. Of course, we know that he purposely exaggerated his pronunciation to spice things up.
