My letter’s published

The Star (my favorite local newspaper here) published an article on Super Travel Systems on June 22, 2008. In this article it highlighted the excellent public transportation systems of five cities, namely Portland (Oregon, United States), London (England), Curitiba (Brazil), Paris (France), and Hong Kong. It then invited readers to write in about their views on the state of our local public transportation (in a word: awful). So I wrote in, and here’s my two cent’s worth.

Bad news for Penang

Just read in today’s The Star that the Federal Government has decided to defer two major projects for Penang: the Monorail and the Penang Outer Ring Road project (PORR). And the reason for this decision? “Soaring costs.” So why the hell didn’t they do it years ago? And if they “defer” these projects to 5 or 10 years from now will the costs decrease? Will the traffic madness decrease? Give me a break! They might as well use the word cancel instead of defer.

The short-sightedness of politicians is something that makes me want to throw up. I guess it’s the same all over the world. And it’s always the citizens who have to suffer and pay the price for their dumb decisions.

Alright, end of my rant. Enough of this political BS.
