KUL: Keep Left

They drive on the left side of the road here. When a North American or European is walking (say through the convention centre) and approaches someone walking the other way, they will naturally keep right and successfully avoid walking into one another. Malaysians keep left, and also avoid collisions. However, when a Malaysian approaches a North American or European, they both start angling the same way. And each keeps trying to get out of the other's way, but they both keep going the same way.

I haven't noticed this as much in other places like the UK or HK.
