2020 remains as a dream
2 weeks of holidays at home in KL is
over. Lazying, doing nothing for 2 weeks was therapeutic. There was
time for reflection.
I have been overseas for many years
now. KL is developing at a scary rate. So many new highways and
flyovers, I nearly lost my way in my own backyard. Unfortunately, the
near first world infrastructure is still being abused by Malaysians
with 3rd world mentality. Illegal parking, aggressive
driving, lawlessness on the road.
KLIA has a pickup zone with 3 lanes,
however, illegal parking along the pickup zone cause the traffic to
stand still at times. The traffic police were seen smoking nearby,
but no action were taken against those cars illegally parked. Such a
contrast to airport in first world countries.
The day I fly out from KLIA, I arrived
more than 2 hours before departure time. There were 2 long queues at
MAS check in counters. It took me more than an hour to check in, even
though KLIA is no where near it’s maximum capacity. I wonder if it is
inefficiency or poor management? Can’t remember queuing up that long
in Heathrow.
By election in Ijok, politicians are
still harping on same old issues. Journalists interviewing the
politicians are far from being critical, or are they just being
“berbudi bahasa”?
Back under the blue sky in Sydney, life
is so much more simple when you are an outsider…
