Courtesy in KL dropped again

The latest appraisal by the magazine shows Kuala Lumpur almost at the bottom of a list of Least Courteous Cities at number 34 out of 36 major cities in the world.

1) A casual toss of a cigarette butt out of the window, a surreptitious flick of a candy wrapper into the corner when no one is watching.

> Yes, seen many time while stuck in the traffic jam or speeding the highway. Some even throw orange skins out especially during CNY

2) The idiots who rush into the lift as soon as the door opens, without giving the occupants a chance to exit.

> Yes, the last time happened was 2 months ago....when I even rarely go out of outside. It happen my place. Three  young morons just stand outside the life and blocking my pathway of exit...who insisting I let them in first. Seriously???

3) The shopper who changes her mind about buying the packet of choy sum in a supermarket but is too lazy to walk all the way back to the perishables section to return the item, so she stuffs that package into the rack at the nearest aisle.

> Yes, each time I go to groceries...seen many unwanted goods even the perishable/frozen ones just simply place into the rack before the cashiers. 

4) Diners with kids who drop food on the floor of a restaurant, leaving behind a mess. It's something they don't do at home but eating out gives them the licence to act like slobs

> Do not't expect the fella to clean up, but at least some of courtesy to inform the waiter/waitress about the mess. Most of frequent I seen is McDonald sundae plop on the floor and everyone stepping on it.

5) Kevin Mcintyre, a Scottish expatriate working in Kuala Lumpur, said he missed his stop on the train because people were rushing into it as he was trying to get out.

> Experience once during after working hour...everyone were pushing each other from in and out. Why those people rush in when the train is fully with people tend to get out from the train. It does prolong the time and the close train shut up. Because of that...I missed the train 3 times and late for my appointment...thats was the last time I take the train. Actually those LRT staff should make announcement before the train arrive as reminder to the passengers to let the other passengers to exit first before getting into the train as Malaysian need to be told what to do for now....

The things I have not seen but I have done so far...yet some people asking why I'm nice when not needed to be. Well... I choose to be la...and make me feel happy and unselfish time to time. To me, some people consider nice to strangers are odd. Seriously...it is who you are....you should not categories who you should be nice or not.

1)  Signalling to the driver who is looking for a parking bay where your car is parked so that he can take your spot.

> Done many times to others as I get so annoyed with those people who walk coolly into their cars and pretend you are invisible when you looking for a car park like mad person.

2) Picking up an item for the stranger who dropped it.

> Some people are grateful and thank me for picking up. Some people just take from me and say "Ohhh" and walk away.

Shooting spree

Businessman shot 4 times by gunman KUALA LUMPUR:
A 53-year-old coffee shop owner was shot four times while waiting for his workers in front of his premise in Happy Garden, Old Klang Road on Friday. Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid said the victim was smoking a ciggerate in his car when a man in a Proton Waja pulled over and fired four shots at the victim in the 10.30pm incident. All the shots hit him. It is learnt that the victim despite being injured in the shooting managed to get the registration number of the get-away car. The victim however stopped his car when the suspect who realised  he was followed, reversed his car and fired another two shots at the victim before speeding away. It is not known if any of the latest shots hit the victim. The victim was sent to University Malaya Medical Centre by his workers for treatment. Wan Bari said the case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for murder attempt.

This case happen just few block away from my home. I even had my dinner at the cafe 2 months ago. The ground floor is the cafe, while upper floor is flower decorating classes by the same owner. The owner is chatty and extremely friendly to all his customers who come to his shop to eat. I cannot believe someone attempt to kill him, I wonder why this criminal action taken? As from the neighborhood, everyone knows he is nice chap. Just a shocker....as people easily offend and will make crazy action...what for??? What is the valid reason for all this?? When this incident happen, a friend happen to be there. When he saw what happen, he ran for his life as he fear the shooter will return. He is still traumatized from it as he is just pass-by at the wrong time and place. As I know, more shooting cases also occurring quite frequent lately too. Why cannot talk out man to man? Why need to hire assassin as the solution?

KL crime rate (continuation)

"According PEMANDU, Malaysia's index crime has dipped 10.1% to 63,221 cases between January to May 2012 from 70,343 cases recorded in the corresponding period last year"

Well, if you calculate a rough estimation how prone the crime ocurring in Malaysia.... where we just assume 5 months =152 days, which means  416 crime case per day and also indicate roughly 17 crimes happening every hour. If compare with last year comparison, it is only reduced 2 crimes hourly. Does this really us feel safer and relieve? Hmmm.... >,<  

Well, at least we know how bad is the crime rate in here now in figures




and they also mentioned "The Global Peace Index has rated Malaysia the safest and most peaceful country in Southeast Asia, the fourth in Asia Pacific and the 20th in the world.

It is because Singapore imported weapons, heavy weapon and high military capability are rated higher index compared to Malaysia. This could just mean Singapore spending more money on their military dept. We should look on how the peace index are computated before claimed the safest country

Debate

Too bad, there will be no more debates. However it is expected after seeing the debate. As not many capable ministers in Malaysia are good in debating.

KL crime rate

Lately in KL facing a high rate of robberies, not those snatch and run anymore. Now it is bodily harm the victims before robbing. The rate of the crime is increasing yet the govt mentioned our country consider safe compared to Singapore. Really shake head on this statement. Seriously, the election is coming....yet the politician not really bothered about the safety of the people with constant robberies. I almost been rob before, it is traumatizing even after incident over. I screamed for help while my colleague was rob in front of my eyes.  Later make police report over the incident, they told us...the many case happen like that. To be honest, when it happen...people might tend to watch and stay away while occur.  Well, what to do....most robbery cases are not disclose nor publish in the newspaper. The news lately covering about politicians  prefer to create bad imaging on their opposition and bickering at each other.. As a citizen, it is sad state, extremely embarrassing and disappointed  on them. Oh please, stop actings like kids and start to act like a adults taking care of the children (citizens).
