The proton saga of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The cars are so small that they cant fit more than 4 people in a taxi! Taxis are dirty and drivers do not want to use the METER (ehhh... sounds familiar la in Brunei.... BUTTTTT at least in Brunei our taxi is huge! heehee)
The Malaysian Government should just ban that old Proton Saga running in KL - making places congested saja...
Malaysia - Look at Thailand and Singapore - Drive a TOYOTA.... its probably more economical and environmentally friendly - haha

80% un-used budget???
80% of B$1billion budget for IT infrastructure in Brunei not used in the last 5 years?
Wow, I didn't even know we still have that much. Why not they used that $$$ to improve the internet connection... the prices of these facilities should be cheaper now that US$ is going down and we can be a "Smart Country" as Singapore is "Intelligent City".
I nearly had a laugh when I read that University of Tanjungpura students visited UBD to look at its IT infrastructure. Sorry to say that our IT infrastructure is terrible compared to those in Singapore or UK universities. Even Unimas of Sabah is bigger than UBD. KK is possibly the biggest city in the Borneo Island now.... Should our planners do something drastic now?

Been a Long Time... What does ERP means?
When was my last visit to update this blog?
Can't remember.... anyway, I learned a new term from Singaporean taxi driver recently.
To the Government, "ERP" means "Electronic Road Pricing" but to ordinary Singaporeans its "Everyday Rob People" - this is quite true as drivers who had to pass this road toll do not understand why they are charged for something they had paid for already... i.e. ROAD TAX.
To add to the injury, car prices are so expensive, as well as the Certificate of Entitlement... then the oil or petrol prices is at about $1.90/litre now... we in Brunei should be thankful that its just 53cents per litre while diesel is just 37cents.
