1. They don't want to walk up the escalators but refuse to stand to the left and give way to the people who wants to.
2. They don't to use prepaid cards or monthly pass but when they queue up at the counter they block other commuters from passing through to get to the turnstiles. 3. They prefer to crowd the door of the LRT/Monorail but do not want to give way when commuters wants to get in or out. |

QUOTE(empyreal @ May 4 2008, 10:51 PM) 4. they are too poor to buy cars. plebeians. Yeah, many Malaysians are too poor to buy cars but they still buy anyway and parked it on the pedestrian path because too poor to pay for parking. Whenever toll operators announce increase in toll rates they will complain because too poor to pay toll. |

QUOTE(malaysianPotato @ May 4 2008, 11:02 PM) It's part of the local culture. It's the same on the road, ALOT of people can't be bothered to signal to change lanes, obey speed limits, give way, or do anything right on the road. Complete lack of discipline, manners and respect for the road and the people on it. The same can be said for just about everything else in this country. Yeah, I noticed that too. Can something be done to change this culture? Why can't we be something like in Japan? Oh, I guess the Look East policy we had a number of years ago during Dr M doesn't work.Unfortunately, you are. |

QUOTE(dopodplaya @ May 5 2008, 12:37 PM) hmmm, just telling you guise my personal experience, this morning. I think it is some kind of phobia that some of these people are suffering from, I mean I am taking the train from the first station (there is always enough seats for everyone) and yet you will someone cutting you off to rush in (it happens all the time to me). It even give me the idea of this term...When I line for the LRT, and I was in front, there is one akak tak sabar-sabar nak cut line. There was only three people, me, that akak and another sister there. The train was slowing down, and she bumps to me like the she going to miss the train so bad. I mean WTF, the train has some more spaces for 3 or more people, she is like very rushing to get in. Apa la, just 3 people waiting for one train door. Still want to cut line ka? Seatophobia - the fear of not getting a seat... |
