Yeah, almost everything in Malaysia sucks, maybe except food. For infrastructure, our transport system really sucks, the roads are bumpy(when they repair roads, they didn’t ever repair back to the original flatness). I seldom see bumpy roads in the whole of SIngapore, yet in some residential areas in Malaysia, almost all the roads are bumpy. It is damn irritating when travelling on bumpy roads. Furthermore, when I heard that one of the ministers asked us to use LRT to commute to avoid the rising petrol cost, I really wanted to curse him. Are the ministers in Malaysia so stupid and unknowledgeable?
We only have LRT in one state in the whole of Malaysia.
I live in Ipoh and many of us in the states other than Selangor cannot enjoy the LRT system. I will reconsider the comment if this guy manages to build up a LRT system in the whole of Malaysia.

Agreed, the only way to bring Malaysia standard to another level is to stop subsiding petrol. But, there always a down fall with such plan. Because Malaysian are not ready to accept that yet. With our living standard right now, we can’t afford the inflation anymore. Besides increasing the 40% petrol price, are there any better way to prove the country standard?
