Here’s a great way to avoid traffic jams – take the gridlock guesswork out of the equation by leaving for your destination earlier. So says Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, who explained that motorists should learn to recognise the peak and non-peak hours of their route to avoid the perennial issue, The Sun reports.
“We will usually say that we were late as a result of the traffic condition. If we know the time (peak and non-peak hours), we should come out earlier. We must know how to manage our time,” he said. He added that people should use public transportation when moving around in the city.
Tengku Adnan said this while addressing the Dewan Rakyat in response to a supplementary question from Teresa Kok, the MP from Seputeh, who asked if the KL City Council had a proper development plan to avoid congestion in the city.
She was comparing the city planning in the capital to that in Selangor, where each of the local councils were provided with guidelines as a measure to control traffic flow. To this, Tengku Adnan responded that the development plan in KL was “better than Selangor.” Do you think it is? Share your thoughts on the matter with us in the comments section.

Ministers should stop using outriders
Yes, they should practice what they preach.
Another absurd statement by Minister who wants to legalize Rempit.
The truth is, the Ministers and Polis have no idea about traffic jams because they BOTH abuse outriders and sirens. By right, outriders are for ONLY 2 people. The King and PM. Even Ministers should not have outriders
Lately, there has been so much abuse. Everyday, nearly every Minister or Deputy or PDRM officer abuses this privilege. Everyday you can see countless times this happening all over Klang Valley. The Polis also, don’t use Polis cars with Sirens. They use normal cars and put that blue siren to go through traffic.
Another conjob also is the banduan van and the polis escort. One day I folled the Banduan van (lorry) with siren and escort and finally they ended up at the warong. The PDRM guys were having kopi and wanted free outrider sirens to go through the morning hour rush jam.
Another drama also is the Minister or the big shot in the Lexus LX570 who goes aroundwith sirens and have his outriders kick cars. I am an old man of 80 yrs old and I take a while to move my car suddenly during traffic. Outriders kicked my car until got dent.
It is high time the Ministers, Deputy and PDRM come down to earth. Show by example. Abuses, kicks and going for breakfasts using sirens is not a good example to show the rakyat!
Do you know in the UK, full Ministers actually take the tube to work? I lived in UK many years. Every other day I have sat beside full Ministers in the tube (London Underground). No escort. No bodyguards.
Many times, the Minister even stands if the train is sardine packed.
Stop your police escort then I dare you!
Polis already warn the rakyat, if you block or don’t give way to polis outriders or escort, you will be prosecuted. They will say u interfere with their work and duty.
Our ministers wouldn’t dare to rake public transport!
… since they seldom do any right decision for the people.
Know why people don’t like your “self-praise” statement and “blaming Rakyat” statement… Rakyat still need this dumno Minister?
Maslan would be so proud of his friends
Jabba the Hutt strikes again! Looks like he is trying to replace Maslan 3.85 in our hate list.
Good advice from a person whom does not use public transport and whom do not need to wake up 2 hours before going to work.
All thinking with their butt only. SEDIH….
Lemak bodoh! Boleh balik kalo waktu kerja ke?
Another example why Rakyat wasted on paying taxes including GST for monthly salaries to this dumno Minister… and the ministry. Someone please send him back to school !!! Old is not an excuses to make foolish statement…
To avoid jam, can go home earlier?
Oh gosh, this guy makan gaji buta je..
Who do not know avoid peak hours, but the office hours is almost the same for all!!!
Mat rempit also can be legalised, why not the government related offices working hours change to 3pm-11pm? lol
why do you ask a dumb stupid person that question? for sure you will get a dumb and ridiculous answer…mangkuk menteris everywhere
head full of fats..
Hahahaha… Thanks for using jokes to cover up.. Hahahaha..
Sincerely,
Almighty Snack Bar aka ICES
cut the horsesh*t and try navigating without police escort then come back to tell me about leaving early for your destination.
You too can have police escort. Not that expensive.
Mr Minister, please practice what you preach and lead by example.
One of the main problem is there’s too many cars on the road. Just look to your left and right while driving, significant number of cars with only 1 passengers only.
Avoiding peak hours will only solve part of the problem. Many other issues are still unresolved, like indiscriminately parked cars, car changing lanes so many times, inadequate public transportation etc etc
Human factors plus external factors.
Every year Malaysia registers half a million units of new cars. In 5 years that number is 2.5 mil. Where do all the cars go?
Yes we all got nothing else to do in the morning…..no kids to send to school ……. just like “Tengku” so free
Another brainless person who does not use his brain to think before he speaks. Wait he does not have a brain. My bad.
Kuala lumpur supposed to be under pakatan rakyat every election this stupid umno governent should be ashamed cause they lost their vote. Just let this pakatan rakyat.manage the city may be its lots better .
this cow’s brain minister should be fired ku nan or whtever your name is you should drive to work and dont used the police or escort to beat the traffic idiot will forever be idiot
Ask him what’s the development plan, he ask you to come out ealier. Speechless.
Development plan…..what development plan ????
Oooops. Tomorrow have to call for emergency meeting.
Next day meeting ….
Chairman : Hari ni, kita nak discuss traffic plan. Sebelum kita mula, mari makan kuih dan nasi lemak. kopi pun panas dan sedap…..
After 1 hr makan,….aahhh dah kenyang. Ooops ada meeting kat putrajaya. Kita postpone lain bulan, ok.
Mesyuarat bersurai.
Tell that to those staying in USJ leaving their homes at 6.30am
Minister with brainless is advised to keep their mouth shut.
Everyone know the benefit of early out, but not everyone can go to work earlier due, most of the parents have to fetch their kids to school or nanny, you can come out early to work doesn’t mean kindergarten gate open earlier for you.
Don’t simply talk without using brain to figure out the root of cause, it just reveal your stupidity to the public. Ku Nan!..
If having children is such a disadvantage, why did you have them? Instead of sissyfying your kids let them be independent. Let them ride a bike, walk to school. Is that so hard?
Bodoh betul la kau ni. Dah ada anak belum? If you have, you will know what tontonjoker mean. There’s no problem to early out to office to me as early as 530-6 in the morning, that before i have child. To send your 4 years old child to nursery as early as 530 in the morning? gila ka? ask the 4 years old kid to ride a bike/walk? And no nursery and kindergarten here in Malaysia open up as early as 5.00 am.
Agree. My 6 months old daughter already can prepare her own milk. My 7 year old son already can ride a bike in the middle of USJ traffic jam in peak hours.
In the name of independent, I seek your consideration to think on their safety & security…. unless u don’t have any of them.
Hmm… I wonder which school you went to. Hopefully not the same as KuNan’s school.
If your kids is two years old…. You can ask your kids to walk to kindergarten… stupid
Are u nut? If the school is located more than 1km away from your house, would you let your kindergarten kids walk to school? When you have kids, make sure you train your kids to walk to school even for 10km away!
Poor policeman will not understand you, cos they have sirens…
Malaysia really has lots of brainless people. Let the kids ride to school or leave them there even if the schools are not opened? Please keep quiet if you don’t have brain.
Stupidity have no cure… It’s a disease
sorry boss, today i will late to work because nowaday start from 6am to 1pm already become peak hour. Menteri ask me travel on non peak hour!
Isn’t he staying in Putrajaya?
Most of the time politician do not think when they talk. If now 6.30 am is not peak hour and everybody go to office at 6.30am.then later 6.30 am become a peak hour.
if all leave earlier…the end result is the jam starts earlier :D
this is really, not the first time some ‘minister’ reply with such stupidness. how are you going to go out early to send kids to school when school has not opened yet?? at my kids’ school even teachers are late because of jam!! *sigh* there are only two types of ministers left in this country. stupid and moron.
Your task is to send your kids to school. What difference does it make if it’s open or not? Can’t the little sissy wait?
With the crime rates nowadays, you are not worried leaving your children to fend for themselves? Wait, I forgot. You don’t have any children of your own yet and frankly you should keep it that way, forever!
As above
If PKR or Teresa Kok doesn’t know, Selangor has the WORST road condition in the whole of Malaysia!
Politicians from both sides are a load of rubbish!
Thank you Ku “Captain Obvious” Nan! Just saved my day on traffic jams!
I’m curious to know if we listen to our Minister’s stupid comment too often will it damage our brain & make us as stupid as them?
Early – I used to start at 5.15am to avoid jam for 25 km along PLUS and Lebuhraya Persekutuan. Bea realistic YB.
Come out earlier, go home later. Problem solved… in minister’s way. Now, tell me, if they deserve their pay?
Some/most cannot leave early because of school, school-bus and nursery hours. Like ministers, we don’t have “drivers”.
Ask his children to take a bus instead of using luxury car.. Then make a public statement..
Ask ur wife to take let on peak hour..
i used to leave home at 6.50am to beat the jam, then it became 6.45am and now 6.30am. according to his “advice”, i think one day i will have to leave before 6.00am
Go out early and go back lewat skit…br xjem..
If go out normal time still jem..mean jln mmg jem..menteri jem
Why not gov ppl woke up early to avoid traffic jam too? Everyday I saw a black proton perdana aka Honda Accord always road opening by police. Want us give way to him. He sure wake up early avoid traffic instead of wasting our tax money to do this
I can start writing a book ‘ when a politician open his mouth…’ any takers?
How about ‘Collection of Comedy Quotes by Malaysian Politicians’? It will stretch to volume 10 and you will never ran out of materials due to the healthy supply of “funny” politicians we have.
having tummy like pregnant woman u better dnt even take bicycle must go for walk 2 hours a day in this hot climate and v rakyat knows v well wht v should do to avoid jams.
what i should write more …………………….yukkkk
Selangor’s way to solve traffic problems? Build dangerous one-way loops. And add more road bumps than u can throw a stick at. Oso dun forget to sprinkle the roads with potholes and deep manholes.
Wonder where did he put his brain. Hmmm. Seems a lot of minister wants to jump in Ahmad Maslan route
Who determines peak-hour? The commuters.
If all commuters go out early, the traffic jam (peak-hour) will just be earlier.
Based on your genius brain logic, a better solution would be camp in the office.
Mind you, I leave home at 6am in the morning to avoid jam. But it is not the solution. Go figure out yourself after removing the fat and cholesterol from your brain.
Sorry. ..too late to remove. Already choked up with lies & stupidity
Even a fool look wiser if he keeps silent…
To the ministers,
Please don’t use your outriders and drive the car yourself to work in the morning for 1 month. Then only you deserved to speak on this issue.
If you prefer to use the public transport, by all means use it. BUT no escort or cordoned area with huge VIP entourage with you.
If David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Boris Johnson, Ed Miliband and many more other British MPs and PMs can do it, why can’t you?
Oppsss, traffic will start soon (4pm), should be smart and go out early (11am). Thanks Mr. Minister
how early Mr.Minister Ku Nan should we coming out? 4 a.m?….
the guts of him to call us the paying rakyat to wake up earlier
heres the scenario
minister works at 9am (assuming they even work at all), they wake up 8.30am, 8.45am leave their mansions with outrider, 9am sharp report work with 15 minutes on the road
rakyat works at 9am, we leave for work at 7am!! fight through the stressful traffic for 2 hours while giving way to these useless ministers and arrive at office ngam ngam 9am otherwise we gonna get sacked by our boss who pay us peanuts
-BigBalls-
good idea!! make sure you don’t use traffic police to clear the jam for you! and go out earlier, follow what you suggest or else you are worst than junk!
ministers should car pooling to go to their office!!
wow! U r so so wise, u should call yourself Tengku “Stephen Hawking ” Adnan. According to a wise guy like u, to avoid traffic jam, go to work early and come home late.
Stupidity is not a handicap. But this Minister is both.
kunan kuman… federal highway,sudah jam masa tak menentu… kl area lagi x payah cakap.. you ade bawak kreta sendiri ke.. atau mamat bawak kreta awak.. ade ke kaki kau penat picit break ngan minyak.. ade ke kau terkejut giler bila tiba tiba disemput dari kiri ngan kanan.. klu x tau, cuba la dulu.. jgn suruh kite keluar awal.. jgn asyik suruh rakyat itu ini macam taiko..
Disemput? What is that?
From the same “genius” that came up with:
1. Outlawing “food help” for the poor / homeless in KL City
2. Legalizing mat rempits’ races ON THE STREETs
i’m so… underwhelmed
He is an embarassment to the country. His lack of intelligence is legendary..
kepala hotak tengku adnan berjambul lapan.
Ku Nan pergi kerja ada orang escort, boleh keluar lambat. Lagi setengah jam mesyuarat baru nak keluar rumah.
Cuba Ku Nan keluar awal, tanpa escort.Baru tahu rasa macam mana.
Macam mana Ku Nan boleh jadi menteri? Otak kosong betul. Sepatutnya menteri kena selesaikan masalah, bukan menambahkan masalah. Menteri sepatutnya berkhidmat untuk rakyat. Bukannya menyusahkan rakyat.
This is the guy that uses a “fake” tengku for his name, right??
After what he have said (which is stupid, silly and downright offending), Now I am really believing this tengku is really a fake.
Malaysia govt ministry never short of these jokers…..
Stupidity is a MUST when applying for a Minister post in Malaysia.
Being arrogant and ignorant will be bonus.
If you’re the boss senanglah. Can come late to work and go home early. Us regular people can’t do that. Suka hati punya statement ni. Try coming back to earth…
What you guys expect from a man who’s married to a Virgin from Hell?
How long more do we need to pay taxes and gst to subsidise the salary of this useless minister ? In fact all of them in the cabinet should be wiped out. The longer they stay in power, the worse off we are going to be. By the way, country does not belong to them!

step 1. no escorts for all government officials.
step 2. take away their drivers
step 3. take away their official vehicles.
let this useless ministers take the bus, taxi or trains to wherever they want to go.
so easy for them to say this and that.
Truth is: Every BN politicians – have lost touch with reality. They sit far away from every day life – smothered in luxury and wealth stolen from Malaysians.
They do not understand reality and they will ONLY lecture from atop of their comfortable lives.
Malaysians who continue to support the pathetic BN government – like stupid Coolie- are too stupid. You are destroying Malaysia with your Inabulity to think.
