Gonna start an ongoing thread of motorists and the like encroaching on pedestrian spaces to document them. Maybe someday i’ll get around to compile and do something about it.
Will tag them all under

when i'm somewhat enjoying this cool rainy weather but then see news about the floods in the rest of the country, i cant help but remember this scene from Parasite. a blessing for one could be a tragedy for another
I try to take the train whenever I travel and i've always felt that generally, they're pretty inaccessible. Usually next to large roads or highways. Pedestrians would find a hard time to get there. So I decided to do a little research. Here's a longgg over-ly complicated thread
I need help sir. Our wages have been stagnant for years. CEOs are overpaid. Billionaires are not taxed fairly. Trees are being cut for profit of the few. All of this is causing me and many others mental stress. Can I reach out to you as you said in this tweet?
Mental health awareness is an important issue and we need your support! Kempen Reben Hijau yang diterajui YAM Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan bertujuan memartabatkan kesihatan mental sebagai tanggungjawab bersama. ⠀
If you need help, dont be shy and reach out. We are here to help you.
Jalan Raja Abdullah. Take the LRT to Station Dang Wangi. Go to the exit towards the right. Say hi to the cat before crossing the bridge if she's there.
Menteri Australia kena tangkap jalan2 pergi pantai dengan keluarga terus letak jawatan. Menteri Malaysia semua SOP dia langgar bukan letak jawatan, terus darurat tutup parlimen.
Bezanya mula kat kematangan pemimpin dia. Baru lah rakyat nak ikut matang sekali.
Terkini. 2 Okt. Kes baharu
#COVID19
hari ini paling tinggi dalam sejarah iaitu 287 dan semua kes tempatan.
Tertinggi, Kedah (129), Sabah (113), Selangor (31).
Dua kluster baharu di Selangor, Seri Anggerik (Hulu Selangor) dan Seri Setia (Gombak).
Tiada kematian.
that's crazy, all this while all the structures built on Bukit Bintang sidewalks are illegal and unlicensed?
though tbh they're far from the biggest problem we have in the area or in KL
Now show this to every malaysian who says that malaysia is too hot to walk and cycle and live without a car. It’s not the weather. It’s the city design.
He didn’t predict anything though. All he did was criticizing how things were done during his time. The sad reality is that things haven’t changed since then. :/
Till this day there are no EVs under RM100,000. So a rich asshole driving a Tesla Cybertruck can get parking exemption but a poor freshgrad driving an Axia doesn't?
Been staying in KL for a bit and was just observing things. Despite the billions spent on MRTs, the lack of investments in busses and the over investment in highways mean a 15 minute car drive can take 1 hour longer via public transit.
Complete policy failure by all govs.
there's a group of people who have never even seen RM10,000 in their lives. There's another, tiny and treacherous group who sees RM50,000 every month. Guess which group is more likely to be fined RM10,000
I get that we’re desperate for glamourous high tech jobs to brag about. But theres literally no reason to drag down a legitimate and dignified job that produces our local cuisine.
Should we only hype up croissants and diss roti canai?
MRT Kajang Line Stations power ranking.
Thought it would be fun since the launch of MRT Putrajaya to look back at the previous MRT line. I've visited every single Kajang Line station, so now lets see which are the best and which are the crappiest.
A ranking thread.
Property cost is only around rm1600 but renters have to pay an extra rm1000 for supposed value created by the landlord. Then malaysians wonder why houses are unaffordable.
they raid the factory but never arrest the factory owners. factory owners don't have to pay workers' wages. they find new workers to exploit. cycle continues.
Wth man. You see when you put people who never take public transport in charge, they come up with shit like this. Less frequency means more time and more people spent waiting at a platform or a busstop. Leading to more congestion and less social distancing. Come on.
Antara SOP yang diperketatkan untuk mengurangkan pergerakan (bermula 25 Mei).
✅Operasi perniagaan bermula 8 pagi hingga 8 malam.
✅Pengangkutan awam 50% kapasiti dan kekerapan dikurangkan.
✅80% pekerja sektor awam bekerja dari rumah.
I didnt plan to tweet this video. Was just testing out TikTok but I was just shocked at the kind of responses I got there. Completely different circle so I wanted to compare the responses from Twitter. Cant believe i’m saying this but Twitter is a more positive space than TikTok
Writing this to document how stupid TnG, our trains, our busses and how they all come together to make Public Transport absolute shit based on my trip today.
Melaka is arguably the cradle of the modern Malay culture. And you decide to build a theme park based off the culture of colonizers instead of leveraging on our history. Another white elephant in the long list of Malaccan white elephants.
There’s something fascinating about malaysians seeing obscene wealth and instead of sowing discontent and questioning injustices, they idolize and dream they have a chance to join those ranks.
MEX is an example of the destiny that every highway will eventually fulfill. No matter how smooth traffic is when a highway opens. It will eventually lead to traffic jams when it meets capacity. We can build more highways until we run out of land or we can focus on real solutions
A car-centric society is a curse to elderly. You go to singapore and other cities with good universal accessibility then you’ll see how the elderly thrive. They just whizz around in their mobility devices, get on busses and trains that accommodate them. Independence.
Kadang pernah terfikir jugak.. Kita akan hidup sampai umur berapa dan tak menyusahkan anak-anak ke kalau tiba-tiba kita uzur tak boleh urus diri sendiri nanti.. 😔
Here is MRT Mutiara Damansara.
Something that has been bothering me for a while with our urban planning regulations. Despite having a house literally in front of an MRT station, because your neighbourhood built walls all around it, you have to walk 18 minutes to get to the MRT.
Stop what you’re doing now and stand for 12 minutes. Then tell me if thats a long time or not. You can maybe tolerate this if you dont often take the train but some people face this everyday. And this isnt the worst case scenario.
The British colonized Malaysia for over 200 years. By that very definition stole our freedom from us for that long. Calling a Brit who disrespected local laws and people a 'patriot from Malaysia' in the name of freedom is just insulting.
Full vaccination means getting the second dose and so far only 434,301 have that. This means out of 8,834,824 only 4.92% has been vaccinated since February in 2 months. At this rate it will take ~40 months or over 3 years for us to be 100% fully vaccinated. We’re very screwed.
This fucked. JnT breaking the law of supply and demand purely from their greed. When there’s so much more demand for labour(komisyen) from higher quantities of parcels you should increase the pay rate not decrease it
that's why if jalan rosak, taman terbiar, kereta parking haram bukannya kerja your local Adun or MP untuk settlekan. Ahli majlis yang kita tak kenal dan tak pilih punya kerja. so local elections when?
Train ticket ETS yang RM60 per head pon families cant afford, imagine HSR. The real question is why do malaysians after 60 years of UMNO rule still need to migrate to KL for jobs? Lagi 13 negeri apa cerita.
Keadaan di Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan. Kesesakan trafik yang teruk
Dulu BN mempunyai pelan untuk menangani masalah ini. Projek HSR yang jelas menguntungkan rakyat telah menjadi mangsa PH
Malaysia perlu kerajaan yang kompeten dan berwawasan. Jangan kita ulangi kesilapan lampau
Through the MRT project, Pavillion receives direct benefits from two stations, Pusat Bandar Damansara and Bukit Bintang. The cheapest house at PBD is over RM900k for a studio. Now they get free shuttle busses in Bukit Jalil. The public is subsiding the rich.
Selamat Hari Wilayah everyone. It’s a day to commemorate 50 years since when the citizens of Kuala Lumpur lost their right to vote for their own government.
11 minutes frequency on a weekend. Trash frequency. Sums up how the gov only sees public transport as a means to commute to work. Otherwise they think its just a recreational tool instead of a necessity.
We will actually have 237 train station including LRT3 and MRT2. Soon we will have 11 train lines too. And most stations now are designed just as modern as Seoul’s here. What’s missing is accessibility and the rest of the supporting policies that will ensure transit will work.
This is just so sad 😣 inaccessible public services coupled with irregular public transportation. Possibly one of the many who fell through the cracks because of our misplaced priorities
A friend of mine in Canada is getting a shot of a job in Artificial Intelligence.
Her expected pay: C$100,000/RM300,000 a year.
Her experience: 8 month internship + masters.
And people ask why malaysians are demotivated and would like to move out
Remember, new houses built in Johor arent for Johoreans or even Malaysians. They’re built for Singaporeans and mainland Chinese because the gov does not give af about the rakyat
PNB 118 merdeka tower something. Putting a 600m skyscraper in the middle of a historic district full of small heritage buildings will forever scar the local landscape
Bangunan apa di Malaysia ni yg anda rasa perlu dirobohkan & bina/tak perlu bina semula?
Perlu dirobohkan sebab hodoh, dah rosak menanti rebah & lain-lain.
From one has been national icon to the latest upstart. Dayabumi was supposed to be the landmark skyscraper to project Malaysia’s progress. It now lies desolate while we’ve moved on to KLCC, TRX and now Merdeka. We keep building new stuff and abandoning the old. Will we ever learn
My first time bringing a bike board the MRT. Thanks
@AskRapidKL
for the consistently broken elevators and escalators. Also thanks to
@MRTMalaysia
for building a reliably unreliable piece of infrastructure. Don’t keep it up.
“Pedestrian culture is not suitable in Malaysia! We’re not like western countries where the weather is cold”. Says some people while insisting that blazers and ties are appropriate formal dresscodes in blazing hot tropical weather.
To be specific, this isnt from KTMB itself but their workers' union. Meaning the actual people keeping the trains running are endorsing Loke. not necessarily just the big top executives.
Memang function betul
@anthonyloke
ni masa jadi Menteri Pengangkutan dulu.
Ucapan tahniah daripada KTMB kepada Anwar Ibrahim sebagai PM pun mereka sempat rekomen nama dia untuk jadi Menteri balik 👍🏼
No amount of menu Rahmah campaigning can change the fact that the average cost of goods has gone up. The only thing that hasnt gone up to match that is minimum wage and median wage.
Imagine being proud of the tallest escalator in KL at 20 meters only for it to break down forcing people to walk down and then being forced to wait 12 minutes for the next train on a busy weekend. Good job
@AskRapidKL
@MRTMalaysia
. Thanks. God save us all from MRT2 and MRT3
If you keep needing to chop down healthy decades old tree because it doesnt fit your infrastructure then maybe its time to rethink your infrastructure instead?
It’s massive shame that this beautiful park is fenced and gated off by
@DBKL2u
limiting free access, congesting its few entry points. Unlike the real Central Park where residents and visitors get free access all around its perimeter.
Disebabkan mogok, penerbangan dari Berlin dibatalkan.
Bila flight cancel, habis huru-hara plan untuk Misi Pelaburan dan Perdagangan ni. Apa plan B? Kita naik kereta api.
Alhamdulillah, walaupun mengambil masa lebih lama, perjalanan lancar ke Hamburg.

After observing a couple of cities in SEA. KL is really not that bad. Drivers here are used to pedestrians waiting so they dont slow down. But usually if you hold your hand up they’ll actually stop for you. The worse to me is Singapore and Penang. They dont give af
we will see more cases of people this old being forced to keep working in the coming decades. all because of yidin and zafruls reckless EPF withdrawals.

Kalau dalam electrical engineering, ada belajar Kirchhoff law dan Fleming's Right Hand Rule.
Tapi kalau yang ni, Gustav Kirchhoff dengan John Ambrose Fleming pun boleh pening tengok ni.
As of 2020-2022. Starting salary at TM would be around RM3500-RM4000.
Starting salary at a local Japanese speaking job RM6500-RM8000.
Starting salary in Japan >>>> RM10000.
Japanese itself is a pretty tough language though.
Decide from there.
Look at how massive those roads, interchanges are and then compare with how small the houses, apartments are around it. I say again, KL is not packed and there is land for homes. The gov just decided to build oversized highways instead.

He is not wrong. The area where I consider to be core Kuala Lumpur is actually very walkable. With the only exception to me being most of the area around Jalan maharajalela and Bukit tunku. Ironically i feel that theres still room for more people to live here.
KJ is not campaigning to be the local mayor of Sungai Buloh where he can have the freedom to directly serve at the local level.
He is campaigning as a BN candidate to gain votes to form a government at the federal level. So yes essentially a vote for KJ is a vote for Zahid.
It's so annoying to see all these 'affordable housing' in the middle of nowhere with no public transport access. sure the price is 'affordable'. but then needing a car easily adds RM700 for the loan, gas and maintenance. We dont have true affordable housing.
I studied overseas. And frankly i’m embarrassed to talk about careers and income with non-Malaysian friends. We graduated from the same university, same courses, same struggles and now working similar industries. But somehow my labour is worth less than their minimum wage.
Taiping Lake Gardens is the best public park in Malaysia AFAIK. Beautiful lakes and century old trees. Well maintained grass. Extensive pedestrian paths. And very importantly no bullshit fences blocking people from entering no closing hours. Everyone has fair access to it.
Bak kata a friend, the Malays were never one monolithic entity with the same values across the board. Malays are a diverse bunch. conservative, islamists, westernized, liberal malays exists back then as they do today. it's just different periods have different dominant groups.
‘Feel good’ stories of Airbnb and property ‘investors’ no longer make me feel good. It usually means one less affordable house for a family in KL. But to each their own i guess.
please people. this is not normal. it became normalized by the lack of job creation outside KL, low wages, low housing density and high housing prices. All to the benefit of capitalists and the top 10%
Topik hari ini:
Berapa jarak ke tempat kerja anda dan berapa lama masa diperlukan untuk sampai ke tempat kerja?
Bapa mertua saya setiap hari berulang dari Seremban ke Kuala Lumpur. Sejam, jarak dalam 70km
Rasanya ini normal untuk sekarang.
Anda pula?
RM50 billion in debt just to get a line with weekend frequencies of 10 minutes. But i guess i have to be a financial expert to question what went wrong.
Singapore has ~189 train stations.
KL actually has ~191 train stations including KTMs and BRTs. When MRT2 and LRT3 completes we’ll have 260 stations
But you would never say our public transport is better than SG.
Bad planning, Jibby’s corruption, car-priority and other reasons.
We really gotta stop building our stations in the middle of nowhere and next to massive highways. Better yet, we take down massive highways that do more harm than good. Then we really have to address on how poorly designed our cities are at maximising space for people not cars.
