This is the continuation of my previous post. There are even more intolerable acts that i realise after my trip to Kl recently.

4. Jumping queue

How i wish i have a hammer in the hand and hit hard on those "queue jumpers". I went on a trip to Genting on Saturday. So obviously there were a lot a lot of people. Somemore , there was a huge group of tourist from India , as many as a thousand people. So we expect the cable cars to carry passengers to their full capacity. And the queue was extremely long. Look at the photos , there were thousands of people waiting for their turn. And the law abidding me had to stand there for an hour before my turn came. I am not grumbling , as everyone (pardon me , most of the people) , the young and elderly , were all doing the same.
BUT , there were just some shameless , annoying , disgusting , non-civilised people who jumped queue. The heat and humidity was enough to give discomfort to everyone , and to see such inconsiderate act was just too infuriating. If it were parents carring young children or the elderly , we can still accept it. BUT it wasn't. First , i saw these 2 strong , hefty , healthy young men jumping the queue. Then followed by a young couple. What's wrong with them?? Shameless morons...
5.When using public transport...
How do you know you are in KL? Use the public transport. That's what struck me when i first stepped down. KLites are just soo kiasu when taking public transport. It was pre merdeka. Obviously there were throngs of people using public tranports. And civilised people know we HAVE TO QUEUE. And we have to let passengers inside the train come out before we enter.
BUT again , there were people who just tried to squeeze in once the door open. They were not the very small size type (ehemm...) and just imagine the resistance they created for the people coming out. Isn't it easy for a one way flow? And once they have entered the train , they will just stand right at the entrance stone still, not budging in a little bit further for others to enter. Can't they be a little bit more tolerative? And i had to wait almost an hour , missing a few trains before finally embarking on one.
