The Public Transport issue

Assalamu alaikum and hello to all

The public transport issue is a bane so twisted and crumpled that many policymakers would just chuck it off if possible. Rapid development of industries and its subsequent population outgrew the development of infrastructure (and culture) so much so that our cities are turned into a townplanner's nightmare. As city dwellers most of us waste precious age and risk equally precious lives to commute in inefficient white mammoths called the public transportation.

The situation is exacerbated by the National Automotive Policy which has made Malaysia the leading passenger car market in the ASEAN. The vicious cycle has every other Malaysian driving to work as which is a reason / caused by the inability of public transportation to make a decent profit.

I am all for spending my taxed money to improve public transportation in Malaysia but I do not intend to finance it blindly. There has to be an end to unaccountability for public spending. The buck should stop at the top. Period.

Wassalam and kind regards
