it's been a while since i blogged, or should i say complained about the world. :)

so, after almost half a century - ie since independence - Malaysia has finally decided to do something about the state of public toilets in the country. read all about it here.

in my opinion, i think that it is a waste of taxpayers' money when they launch campaigns like these. if the people are retards, there is no point in campaigning when it is obvious the message will not get through to those people! campaign after campaign have been launched, but there are no results!

that is the problem with the country. there is no maintenance. they get all hyped up about a project, and 5 years later you will see everything go down the drain. and then! the government will spend billions to repair the infrastructure and crap.

take a look at Jalan Wong Ah Fook. they spent so much to "beautify" the street, with gaudy looking shit all over, and do you see anyone locals there? hell no. the place is the place for foreign workers. the banglas, indons, etc congregate there. and from there, they would target for potential victims.

another thing, cabbies in Malaysia do not go by meter. Proof? here you go. and from that article, it seems that they're not ashamed about it. dishonest? yep yep yep! and they're trying to draw tourists to the country, how?

and JB is going crazy as well, increased snatch thefts which, i think is due to the increase in foreign workers and illegal immigrants. hello, police force? tidur kah? i guess the police is very slow to react, but that's better than doing nothing. at least they're finally doing something. read about it here. sigh. i guess the paranoia and sleepless nights will come flooding back to me when i return to JB.

with all these dirtyness, dishonesty, and insecurities, they want to attract tourists to the country how?
