Malaysians are generally are polite lot. If you are not driving that is.:) They are friendly and usually try not to offend. Perhaps you have had a bad experience at MCdonalds.MAybe the staff involved was not properly trained.I vist Mcdonalds outlets and most of the time i am quite ok with their service.In fact the joint where i frequent the most always gives me the good morning sorta greeting.Having said this,your level of customer service is definitely no where near to overseas.This is very much the culture thing.As for people staring at physically deformed people..Well you cant help it can you?This is definitely not polite and to some extent it has to do with upbringing of the individual rather than the society as a whole
