Radio Station Dilemma
People often ask me why I rarely listen to radio in the car after working hours (6-8pm). Seriously, you can’t blame me for that. I mean, what choices do I have? Should I listen to the station whom male DJ pretends to be sensitive via talking using his feminine voice at 988? As a public figure, doesn’t he realized that he is a terrible example and role model to our next generation? I know he isn’t a gay nor that girly after working hours. His so call ‘public stunt’ to raise his popularity is totally selfish and unacceptable. Its simply disgusting.
What other choices do I have? My FM enjoys having their audiences “sing” during these hours. I wish they are entertaining but unfortunately it often leaves me no alternatives but to switch station.
Last but not the least, FM 88.1 and its ‘Beh-Tahan’ program during these hours. If there is something that makes myself “Beh-Tahan” for the day, that’s by listening to this stupid program.
In conclusion, just turn on the USB or CD and avoid all unnecessary frustration.

Signal
If I were being asked to give an advice to foreigners planning to drive in KL, I would have advised them to be extra cautious in the usage of signal. Signal prior to changing lanes or directions are not advisable. As a matter of fact, one should just assume that the signal light isn’t working at all. This advice is recommended by someone who has been driving more than ten years overseas and in KL.
The point of signaling, after all, is to ‘signal’ to adjacent drivers of your intention, therefore not do anything abnormal that could lead to unwanted results. In KL, however, once a driver ‘signal’ his intention, the adjacent drivers (or motorbike riders) will some how feel that their territory are being threaten (like a dog’s natural reaction when another dog pee at their grounds). As a result, they will accelerate (even the motorbikes) or change to the lane before you do. If you were to proceed changing lane after your signal like what you do in overseas, the end results will be disasters. On the contrary, if you don’t signal before you change lane, you will find it a lot easier. The adjacent drivers will not be offended because you did not give them enough time to react and they will be able to ‘forgive’ themselves for not defending their territory. And this is how it is done in KL.
