Driving in Malaysia ... Part III

Number 6: Holes and Road Humps
Driving in Malaysia often reminds me of playing a PC game, namely Sim City II. As a mayor of the Sim City, I can choose to reduce my budget in Roads in order to achieve a budget surplus. The downside of doing so is that my entire city will be filled with Roads with Holes. That's a game, a good one as a matter of fact. In real life, I am experiencing it every day. There are incredible amount of holes on any roads in Malaysia.

I think we all agree that speeding is a major issue for any country. Building a speed hump could be costly in some situation. For example, there are 20 speed humps in a short 500 meter road just outside my office. You can imagine the frustration I have to go thru everyday. Sometimes I question the purpose of speed humps as cars in Malaysia really couldn't drive fast with all those holes everywhere. On second thought, maybe the politician deliberately making sure we have all these holes so that Speeding issue can be reduced :) Bravo! You guys are doing a great job! :)
