...heck, if you do, who the hell cares??!
Penang is full of bloody KIASU drivers. I really don't know what satisfaction people get from cutting traffic ques and sticking their "arses" (car's butt) right in front of you. Who the hell do they think they are la? Everyone ques patiently, and often times, if you see what causes the que, its these bloody KIASU drivers who wedge their way through at road dividers, setting a precedence for other bloody KIASU drivers to follow, and cause traffic to slow to a bumper-to-bumper crawl.
I will use today's example. All Penangites know jolly well that the road branching off Macalister road adjoining Scotland road is a 2-lane road. Towards the Western Rd-Scotland rd junction, pedestrians either take the left fork to get on to Scotland Rd, or the right fork to get on to Western Rd (Jln. Utama) after the Penang Sports Club.
Despite quite an obvious divider in the road separating both lanes, we still have to deal with these bloody KIASU drivers, who drive on the right lane all the way, and then towards the fork dividers, cut into the left lane, as tough it was their bloody right of way, to get onto Scotland Rd! Now you tell me...won't you be bloody pissed?
Decent drivers que up patiently, while these handful KIASU drivers screw the roads with little or no guilt whatsoever by their que cutting and worse still, inching towards decent driver cars, forcing them to the curb of the road.
Cutting lanes, jumping ques, beating traffic lights...these are all symptoms of road bullies. KIASU drivers who think only of themselves, and of getting their way everywhere and everytime...you can imagine what they are like just by seeing their perangai sial on the road.
I was so pissed while driving today, i actually called the No. Aduan LPKP on a bus and taxi, that shoved their arse right into my face at that particular junction. Guess what the response? "Nombor yang anda dial, tiada dalam perkhidmatan". Crap! Why the hell put up those signs on commercial vehicles, when the freakin line is not active???
Sitting in my car, fury, reaching boiling point, i actually started to write down number plates of cars who jumped the que and tried squeezing their way onto the correct lane, by pushing others out. I sure as hell had a good mind to send a letter to the newspaper, with those number plates, asking them to publish the car plates.
I know, i know, i am over reacting. But hey, how can you expect me to stay as cool as a cucumber, when these KIASU Kongs (as in KIASU King Kongs) get away with it ALL THE TIME? Sorry la brader...if you think i'm this docile female creature who would just sit back and be patient all the time...sorry la...my patience wears extremely thin when it comes to racism, favourtism and kiasu-ism.
I mean, how many of us choose to keep quiet and accept the fact there are kiasu kongs out there? We give in and give in and give in ALL THE TIME. What kind of example are we setting for the yonger generation? Both parties i mean...
KIASU Kongs are setting a terribly bad example for the younger generation...it infuriates me further, when i see the KIASU Kong driver actually has kids in his/her car!!! What are they portraying to their kids??? As for drivers like me who silently curse and swear at KIASU Kongs, honk and glare at them, what benefits do we get from that? Nothing...its still boils down to giving in!
20 years of drilling through the education system...call it whatever you may...civic conscious classes, moral classes, human value classes...all down the drain, the moment a precendence for KIASU driving is set on the road, by these bloody KIASU Kongs. I can't blame the educaion system alone...i have to point out the kind of upbringing of these KIASU Kongs.
As crude as i may sound, i dare say, for me, KIASU Kongs are totally brainless, takdak akal, bodoh bahlul creatures who are obviously not educated (altough highly educated) creatures who just kill the living daylights out of decent, educated pedestrians. No point earning so much money and parading around in a Merc, Beamer, Nissan, Toyota, 4WD, etc...if you are not courteous and decent on the road. Having said that, i must admit that these days, Kiasu Kongs are not limited to luxurious imported cars, but also the economical local cars as well...from bikes to trucks...
At the end of the day, it all boils down to upbringing and character. Its really a sad state of affairs to see what kind of world the younger generation is growing up in. Sorry, correction: It's really a sad state of affairs to see what kind of world WE are bringing up the younger generation in.
Okay, now that i have let out all the steam boiling in me, what say, you and i make a pact? Let's strive to be decent courteous drivers on the road, and do what little we can, to practise road ethics as best as we can. And by that, the next time i catch any of you (my dear friends) having traits of a KIASU Kong, you sure as hell can be sure of getting a glare and pinch from me...and depending on the severity of the kiasu-ism, a long lecture on road ethics. And, you can bet your arse, on me, doing just that!
PS: Some of you might be shocked at the so-called vulgarity and crude language used in this blog...but like i mentioned earlier, racism, favourtism and KIASU-ISM gets on my nerves, and when it reaches boiling point, all hell breaks loose! :) Have a good day folks!
