Comment on Minister using Public Transport

Okay first of all wanna specify that I am here not to comment about politic but is just my view on what Y.B. Dato' Shahrir, our minister which handle internal trade development and protect consumer rights department (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna), have to say about the public transport that government has provided to the people for the last 50 years of independence.

According to Sin Chew Daily’s report, he tried to taking the train to work and in these two day of using public transport to work, he came to a conclusion "what the people said in the newspapers are true all this while" because he himself find it inconvenient.

As a minister, I am glad that he took the effort to do this (experience) himself and discovered lot of problems that we consumers have been facing since like god-knows-when and the newspapers been reporting all these inconvenience and complains for like also god-knows-when and how many thousand million time and the media sometimes even asked random public to comment on public transportation and they were aired on tv.

“Minister, don't you watch local news?”

According to Sin Chew "部长亲自体验，发现民众的批评不是无的放矢"。 Seriously, they dunno about how we feel about the public transport provided in malaysia all this while? they think we are happy and satisfy with it all this while? they think it is sufficient and at least a good grade for our public transport? people's knowledge improves by the day and education keeps improving, information can be excess easily all thanks to advance of technology. But our public transport is only just ‘nice passing grade’ (maybe even ‘fail’ due to the drivers’ attitude and timing and all other factors) and the

Internal Trade Minister dunno about it?! O.o *unbelievable*

I am sure people who always drive on the road has experienced this before. Suddenly you see all the police motor bike pass by and siren or gesture ask you to move one side and then slowly you see all the big big cars with dark tinted window passing by and the other car need to slow down and let them pass even when it is in a bad jam situation we need to do it and this make the whole thing/incident god damn frustrating worse....!!!

(u know what i am talking about) *shake head*

Are we lesser mortals than the big shots/guns? Isn’t that, in a democracy, the rakyat is the boss, and government servants are just that, OUR servants? So what makes these ppl have more rights on the road than us?

hmm...another thing is that we all know that our car windows, there is this certain standard that we need to follow or else I think you are like god-damn free and got nothing else better to do because I am sure the police will stop you to one side of the road and have a short and sweet conversation with you (in Malay language,we said - tak ada benda buat, sendiri cari pasal...!!!) but do you think all those ministers’ cars with dark tinted windows follow the standard?! (may be they do follow the "standard"... i wont know... but it looks like very the dark lo...)

anyway... hope this time after Y.B. experienced the public transport and know what is the problems that we public face daily. Hope he will do something about it instead of just experiencing it and comment; and then say will discuss with the transport minister and will get a solution but this will remain only at PR level (public relation).
