Thoughts for the day: screwed up worldIt's funny how things on traffics work here:
First up, new highways and all, they build.
Then, they fix a new traffic light.
Slowly, cars begin to increase in amount.
Surely enough, people start breaking the laws. (Jump traffic light, cut queue, etc)Come on!!! It's Malaysia!!! If nobody cut queue or jump traffic light, where can proudly tell people how we drive de? Even aussie PR says that driving is stressful here.Nopes... You don't see increased law enforcers, you don't see people getting summoned for such ruthless acts.
INSTEAD you get a new pathway FOR people to cut your queue, FOR people to disregard traffic light.... and even to go against the one way street.
So I ask, is it that once you are lazy/can't contain the people's barbaricness, you start to make things go their way? Then why should people obey any laws in the first place? I ask you all to break the law do what you want!!! They will change the road to your preference anyway...
ANOTHER CASE:A carpark has been changed into a night market where majority of malays go. Ok, fine la... You want have fun then have fun la. But every blardy night, the roadsides are parked full with cars. Imagine, a two lane became one lane, a previously broad lane where u can fit 2 cars became a narrow road. What can weak citizens do about all these? Nothing. Wanna know why?
Here we have a "polis bergerak". We ask that they summon the one and only big bus that was parked there. This picture below shows you how much space was left on the road.
So, can a normal car fit into a space where it could only fit two humans? And the road was already narrow with cars parked at both sides.We obviously can't proceed. Ended up we have to reverse all the way towards a main road, with the help of the police stopping all those cars speeding at 80km/h. So yeah, you think the bus got summoned? They took out a paper, look at us go, then they left the bus. After that night, there was no more "polis bergerak" there. So, what does this tell innocent and powerless citizens like us?
I want to believe in justice, I want to believe that the bad will be punished, I want to believe that no one is above the law, but in truth, it's all just "I want to believe".
ONE MORE THING TO ADD ABOUT THE DRIVERSThey can never wait. You line up at the traffic lights. The left side is going straight, traffic light turns right. One self centered idiot who has no mother or father to teach them starts to get out of the line, goes the straight road and signal right next to the first car at the traffic light. AND THE BEST THING IS, they don't care if they block the cars behind. they cut.. just cut like that. So all these obey the rules people lining up at the traffic light end up delayed. Malaysians will tell you, "aiya... normal la... complain so much for what?" and then follow the car and cut queue.
Or maybe elsewhere in the world also you will find such problems. The more people get education, the more they forget about morale. The minds have only room for themselves. Jams, how they happen? IF everyone stick to their lanes, stop cutting and all, you think there still will be jams?
