Just back from KL recently and here's what I've got to say... The authorities better clean up their act before attracting tourists for the 2007 Visit Malaysia...
1.The dishonest taxi drivers - why cant the authorities do something about the taxi drivers who purposely block the taxi lane infront of the Bukit Bintang Plaza, and wouldn’t use the meter to take customers?. Usually when their mouth open, they would say more than RM15+++, even for a trip around the corner! What will be tourists impression of KL when encountering these dishonest drivers? Are the authorities powerless against these errant drivers?
2.The darn LRT transport – why cant those urban planners plan properly and link all the stations to one another? For example, from KL Sentral, if you want to go to Bukit Bintang monorail, you have to cross over a road and get your tickets before you can board the KL monorail. By the way, whose idea is it for the line to be curvy? I was scared when there were too many passengers, the cabin might overturn!
3.The lack of aircon in many of the shopping malls and food court. Even if one is installed, it wouldn’t be cool (nada service kali)
4.The cleanliness of the city and the food is not cheap!
5.The darn traffic jam!
P.s. Malaysians told us that they don’t use the taxi because they know the drivers are “highway” robbers. They say they feel more happy to board a taxi in Singapore as they wouldn’t be forced to pay unreasonable price.
So, Malaysia need to learn more from Singapore in terms of urban planning. What’s the point of being jealous and critical of everything Singapore does, when what you do sucks? Singapore is clean, reliable and whose transport system not only connects but are also CLEAN!
We saw someone fighting near Bukit Bintang area, and asked the vendor, are the police around. According to the Malay vendor, only when there are chairs, tables or plates are broken, only then the police will act, otherwise… tunggu lah…
