Same type of modified bicycles involved in the Johor accident… For context they were riding around Old Klang Road and stopped at Petron to pump and “fix” their bikes. Like are their parents going to blame the drivers when they actually get bang by a car??? The kid in the red shirt looks like he is only in primary school and he is out riding late at night along a busy road aren’t his parents even worried he is not home? This is exactly the type of upbringing that brings up more rempits Malaysia really should have a ruling where kids below 16 should not be allowed to be out pass 10 without Adult supervision

I wonder if he is still doing it. I feel like r/Malaysia should host litter picking events regularly for us Monyets to go out. Our Malaysia is quite dirty.

Politics Why are Malaysians so cynical?

84 Upvotes

[Apologies for the rant]

When I read social media like Facebook or even here on Reddit, it makes me sad to see the cynicism of commenters. It seems like no matter what the government does, there will always be people against it.

I see some good/neutral policies like:

  1. The PM going abroad to court foreign investments, people will blast him for "spending tax money unnecessarily".

  2. The gov keeping subsidised petrol at RM1.99 for 200L (despite other countries seeing spiralling oil prices), people will complain that it's not enough.

  3. The gov building public infrastructure like parks/train lines, people will be questioning which crony got the project or maintainence is bad.

I don't understand. Y'all want the gov to transform our country to a high-income, developed nation in less than 1 term. And even when we're making small steps towards that, people are ready to dump the incumbent and re-enter a period of political uncertainty.

Have y'all forgotten how people raise bendera putih during PN's time, or how 1MDB came to be under BN's time?

Y'all complain about brain drain and the apathy of young voters. I used to think about entering politics. I studied abroad and thought of coming back. But seeing how demanding and cynical our voters are, it makes me averse to this thankless job. I just don't have the fortitude or the thick skin to do it, which is why I respect our current PM for carrying himself steadily among the rakyat and foreign leaders.
