You know, there's one thing that Malaysians can never give up.....understanding the virtue of patience.Just yesterday I was at the Bukit Bintang monorail station waiting my turn during rush hour traffic. There were hoardes of people waiting. Every train that pulled up was full to the brim and the moment the doors opened,......well.....need I say more? It was like "Shop Till You drop" and "Every man for himself!!"
The line lost its order and everyone was ramming their way into the entrance and I was thrown all around like a rag doll. The next thing I knew, I was shit out of luck and right behind the line. I mean....go figure?
Gosh! What has happened to civic mindedness? Have we lost it all? I mean, there were tourists and I can bet you that when they saw the crowd storming the trains, it must have been like a refugee camp in disarray!!
Now I know why my students complain when they have to commute using the rail links. It's like a war zone out there!

Hey sir. Why didn't u tell me about this blog earlier? Yeah I do agree with you. It's sad that to say that even though human beings these day and age are meant to be more civilized, they aren't.
i remember this one incident my friend (can't remember who though) told me about, where there was this tourist who was waiting his turn to exit the train as it pulled into the station. but the moment the doors opened, those who were standing on the platform rushed in, without giving him much of a chance to get out. he was 'tsk'-ing and saying, "malaysia boleh" cynically. =/
