The people in Malaysia are not proud of their work. It's only a means to the end. Kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang (to live from hand to mouth). The don't take responsibility for their work and are not proud of their job.Cikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703811281283628115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-36971171669176096512009-07-20T19:21:19.650+08:002009-07-20T19:21:19.650+08:00reminds me of the joke where a banker collateraliz...reminds me of the joke where a banker collateralize his ferrari to the bank for a small amount of loan, coz the interest is cheaper than the parking fees hahaaxatomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204036397941804617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-59415136251983557902009-07-20T17:50:02.644+08:002009-07-20T17:50:02.644+08:00An alternative like Perth is to limit parking spac...An alternative like Perth is to limit parking spaces in the city.

The same applies to the fact that you mentioned the significance of having a matured and operational public transport infrastructure. These comparison are always used by our gov to justify price increase for tolls, utilities etc. Its rubbish.<br /><br />Btw, I find that no one actually comments on your blog. I find that a bit funny as the titles you post are actually interesting points for discussion.dominohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214924621592474890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-33288883628221955762009-07-20T13:47:48.950+08:002009-07-20T13:47:48.950+08:00One has to take note that you cannot just compare/...One has to take note that you cannot just compare/analyse the parking rates or any rates for the matter without taking into consideration the earning/buying power of the people. Same goes for the availability of public transport. That is what our gov always does when they try to justify a price hike of utilities/petrol/tolls etc.<br /><br />Btw, I just realised that no one actually comments on your blogs? Any reason that you know of? Because most of the topics you post are good discussion areas.<br /><br />Thanks.dominohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214924621592474890noreply@blogger.com
