One type of rice feed hundreds type of people



LRT is my major transport from one place to another. I observed a lot of people with different type of personalities from all walks of life. Citing a few examples …

Passengers will take their own sweet time to get off the train during rush hours and those boarding the train will all block the entrance when the train arrives and rush to get in when it's so obvious that you can't get in if they don't come out!

After getting off the train, they will all rush for the elevator when the sign clearly stated 'DISABLED ONLY’. The way I see them rush for the elevator door before it closes can qualify for a 100 meter dash in the athletics event which will makes Malaysia aka the Bolehland to gain few medals at the Olympics. Those disable persons (mostly blind people) will have to use the escalator, as the lift is usually full with perfectly normal human beings.



Next …

The company which runs the LRT systems have to placed all kinds of pictures and signages so that those mentally retarded (MR) people will understand the simple rules of letting the people get off the train before they can board!


First they colored a yellow box on the entrance platform so that those MR people will not stand there but obviously this is no use. Then they installed spotlights to shine on the train entrance platform so that MR people will not block the entrance and queue by the side and again not working. After that, they placed A3 size pictures showing how to queue by the side and not block the entrance and yet those MR people will do exactly the opposite. Finally after wasting all the resources, they decided to hire human beings holding loudspeaker to shout at them for not queuing up!

On the train …

Once they found a seat, these people will treat it as if their house sofa where basically the whole leg is stretch out so that you will need to cross over their leg to find a standing spot or get off the train. I once purposely stepped on this girl out-stretched feet when I was getting off the train and I feel so good to teach her a lesson!




If there are no seats available, these people like to find the nearest pole and slump their whole body against it and don’t give a damn of the rest of the passengers who is holding the pole for balancing.

On handphones …

When they speak on their mobile, they basically shouted on top of their lungs and forced everyone within 3 meters to listen to their conversation (hello, wei)! Or they will play with their ridiculous ringtones and irritates everyone around (that includes me of coz).

The best one so far is a young malay couple who blasted their phones with the muslim prayer rhymes to remind other races that it’s their prayer time. And it lasted for a whole 5 minutes with those brainless cow holding up their handphone midair and look at everybody. How pathetic can that be? For goodness sake, they mean to tell me that the muslim brothers and sister don’t know their prayer time and need someone to remind them?? What do they expect them to do? Kneel down and pray on the darn train! Duh ...




Can you imagine how many people with low mentality around us? Sigh ... no wonder Malaysia is so way behind in development ... with these type of people how to go further? We are lucky that we don't go backwards like Kelantan who practices absurd rules and regulations!

As the Chinese saying goes : Yat Yong Mai Yong Pak Yong Yan ... hmm how true.
