What is Ops Selamat ? An exercise is Data Collection? An exercise is roadblocks worsening the traffic congestion? I was stuck in a massive crawl caused by a traffic light where 90% load was from 1 direction, and massive minutes wasted by no flow traffic from the other 3 direction. Yet the JPJ officers on present did nothing. Boggles the mind.
Ah Loke Kor said,we have first class infra,but third world maintenance.How true.
Those in charge of traffic lights..counldnt give a damn.
All they want is their gaji.Pathetic.
Our new PM,perhaps u need to go undercover to see the shit around,thats needs cleaning.
If the mindset of malaysian driver remains, how to reduce accidents and fatalities. Even residential area also want to cucuk cucuk, tekan tekan pergi. Gila
