What's Going On?
Malaysians...
I was queuing up at the monorail station the other day when suddenly this fella rushed up behind me and delibrately cut my line. Oh alright...in KL these days.There isn't actualy a 'line' for everyone to queue up. People here in KL are super friendly and tend to get very close.
Too close in fact.
Everything!
Yeah
We're one big family.
Malaysia Boleh.
*In fact while i'm typing this out while waiting for the next train to come, people have just pushed themselves in front of me and countless people cut my line*
(Oh, if you are wondering. Yes, i'm writing this on my pda while waiting for the train)
Yeah, some of you may suggest that i'm too kind and not aggressive enough by letting 'these' people cutting in front of me. The advice most people give me is that I be on my toes and do what pregnant ladies who are about to give birth do best : pushing like there's no tomorrow.
However by doing that, it would make me on of 'these' people and then causes a chain reaction creating more of 'these' people. The vampire of bad habits for Malaysians at work eh?
Plan 1 : Failed!
Oh! The next train is here. Lets see what happens.
Hmmm..
Unfortunately this yellow line's sole purpose is be some grafitti to decorate the floor.
Swt!!
It's not that I'm angry with people cutting my line.
It's just that I feel people here gotta learn how to be more considerate towards others.
Much much Muchhh More considerate.
Kinda sad watching what happens.
Ok, let me paint you a better picture on what happens in a typical train station in KL :
Even before the train arrives, everyone crowds around the entrance of the train.
Then they block anyone who wants to come out by rushing in like mad bulls.
Hence these people clog up the entrance.
Then the people who actually want to go out has to push like crazy to get out.
And of course the people inside will want to stand near the entrance of the train because its easier to get out. Leaving the inside of the train empty.
Sort of like Mc Donald's McFlurry Ice cream : Lots of ice-cream on the outside, empty inside.
Later on, people outside will try to (again) push their way in while the guards outside blow their whistle trying to help them help themselves.
Its crazy I tell you.
I’ll just stand back and watch.
Where have we gone wrong?
People getting insulted for buying original DVDs. People cutting line without feeling guilty.
And don't even get me started on who people drive and the customer service here.
Is our education system really doing what its supposed to do?
Are we really going backwards?
Think about it.
Oh well, common sense isn't actually common here.
