i see a whole bunch of selfish people. Why didnt they say no to LDP ?
I would see what quality of life they have when there isnt LDP.

These people are only thinking for their own self. Welcome to Petaling Jaya , land of the selfish people.

i like to correct that statement. It is not selfish orang kaya , but more like Selfish individuals. Whether rich or poor , it's the same. I have been living in Petaling Jaya for 35 years of my life , and i can tell you that majority of the people living there are self centered.

Again if you got rob there , no one will come to your aid. It's a fact. This is more prevalent in places like Bandar Utama & etc.

i begged to differ. I only stated this example , as i have previous experience on it at Bandar Utama. i was living there many years ago , when i was much younger , and an old lady got kidnapped in front of my house. Not knowing what is happening , i tried to get out of my house with a steering lock as protection to try and lock the old lady house gate , to see what is happening.

Guess what , my entire family pull me back. While this is happening , i saw my entire neighbour , made out of people in the mid 30's and mid 40's , family people hiding in the house grill watching this event for 2-3 minutes till the lady got overpowered and being kidnapped.

Next came the entire neighbours , out in the streets after the event , b****ing about it... When my sister and me suggested that we saw a crime and let's make a police report .... guess what - all of them run in the house.
We made a police report , and came a police patrol car picking us up to make a report.

And guess what - right when me and my sister enter the patrol car and begin to move , i see in the rear mirror the neighbours begin to come out again and b**** in the middle of the street.

Luckily end of the day , the old lady was okay. Police found her at Tugu negara. I came back and lambasted to them , on their selfishness. Guess what they told me - Young man , you do not have kids , you don't understand. They might have knifes.....Told me that next time i will understand...

My reply to them - let's hope that your mother will never have to go thru the same ordeal.

Fast forward 18 years later , i am a married man - with kids. Now guess what , i will still do the same and lock the gate. So i really don't understand the selfishness. Not helping is one thing , to b**** about it , while not willing to report police is the highlight of it.

So if any of you was living at BU 1 , in the same street as me about 18 years back , shame on you if you're the one my story talks about.

p/s - even my family is the same. What ya think! ?

I have experience at Subang Jaya, SS 18, where my wife formerly lives. She has a Malay uncle neighbor with 2 sons. One day, our old iswara alarm went off, and out came the Uncle and his 2 sons with sticks. Saw us there , waved and went back in. Sad to say, the Malay Uncle was the closest to a civic minded and unselfish neighbor I had.
You can say I have bad experience, but having the odds of neighbor which throws dog poo on your car, build a unbreakable divider in the middle of both houses so you cannot park your car there , kill your plants by watering them on purpose ( flood it) when the neighbor are gardening lovers are quite some experience I had. You cannot blame the odds I've faced.
The odds are there is so many selfish people around, and it happens to congregates at PJ. You can deny that fact, but it is. Face it. I am a Chinese living at PJ for 35 years , and it doesn't bring me any good for stereotyping it. Obviously there are people outside that category, but the odds are low. Real low.
I may have bad sentiments, but it obviously stems from bad experiences, one too many.

Of course you can argue to till the cows come home , as there isnt a census nor statistics taken on this subject. ( Unless some people nothing better to do comes out with a survey ).

Norm , as people get selfish , but it's only much more apparent in PJ. Hope one day someone is really nothing better to do and take a census over it. Then maybe it will prove it.

This is to all reach the Mahathir vision of connecting all. Lolz.

people protest cause they are only looking out for their own interest. This is what we call selfish in earthly terms.

And they justify this by saying , "if it pass your house , bet you would do the same."

They forgot that not all people are the same. Only selfish people thinks the rest of the world are like them , hence the need to protect themselves more ( Selfish 101)

yes , i concur. A government needs to do things for the greater good.
Imagine the government didnt make a hard stance on LDP. you will be driving on single/dual lane roads everyday.
Life's a b*t*h , sometimes it bites you in the a*se , but that's life. You win some , you lose some.

What it means is , stop complaining about it , and learn to navigate along it. You can do some greater good , by not complaining and start to go east coast to help in the floods , as you seem so passionate to fight for the people living there ( which got affected by it )

Maybe that should be a better cause to fight for.

I have never object whatever highway to be build , nor LRT/MRT's , as this are requirements for a develop integrated transportation system we are clearly lacking ( be it affecting my daily life at Subang Jaya last time , nor at kota damansara last couple of years )

good ideas. This are the ones should be mooted up. Cheers

What a good reply!!!! I am going to copyright it if you do not mind
Poor fella whom you replied too - kena cha tou
Cheers

their answer is simple , re-aligned somewhere else , anywhere else as long as "IT does not affect me " - See the main reason ? Simple isn't it. Remove the selfish attitude , and life is a better place to be.

You have to build a highway on roads / places , someone or somewhere is going to be shafted. People need to wake up on it , and accept the fact that they most important scenario to consider , is the lowest cost possible without sacrificing too much.

Once economic reasons are address , we can then think about the rest of the impact. However , people living in those areas affected can only think about themselves.

Nothing you or me say in this forum will ever change the way they think , coz they are selfish. ( selfish people do not liked to be called selfish - they will defend themselves. )

They will say - wait till it happens to you , then you will know.

Again , this is a preposition , where no one can answer. So suck it up , and life goes on. A highway is build in the area you are staying , and it's not to your liking. So shift. Period.
You can't change the problem , walk out of the jurisdiction , and your life becomes better.

You're right. I am glad about protest do gets some weights in. However it doesn't change the fact that people are only looking out for their own interest.


Never see the Damansara folks going to campaign for realignment of MEX highway last time , or any other ( coz it does not affect them )

If you wanna protest for the better of the people , do it all and don't be selective.
It's like if you're a environmentalist , you're going to campaign for things that affects environment , and not issues happening around your neighbourhood only.

People just have to sulk it up , when they are called selfish - and accept that cause they really are.
If we want to protest , better use it for things like Bersih rally or something for a better cause ( for the bettermen of Malaysia overall )
