Just recently, David McCandless from informationisbeautiful.net revealed a world map of what each country is well-known for. Many of them seemed like rather normal things but others were quite amazing.
According to the research data, apparently Malaysia is famous for rubber gloves. What other kind of rubber were you thinking of har?

David’s data sheet showed that rubber gloves were scored as what we were best known for in 2015. This was apparently due to the fact that the Ebola outbreak boosted rubber glove sales.
Since Malaysia has lots of rubber tree plantations, we have our own factories that produces rubber gloves. Most of these gloves are also exported to other countries.
But his source was probably not the best because he has obviously never heard of our dearest prime minister Najib Tun Razak, or our beloved first lady Rosmah Mansor, which is the talk of the town for any Malaysians.

All hail the mighty supreme leader Kim Jong Un!
