  • You’re absolutely right about what a joke of a country it is in a transit point of view, but i’m just not sure what’s the threshold of “functioning” are for each person. For someone coming in from, say, singapore, the public transit in kuala lumpur is laughable, but from my perspective of someone who lived in kuala lumpur about 20 years ago, comparing the transit to where i live now it’s day and night. I can go places in Kuala lumpur with the combination of train and walking, and we do walk a lot back then, but here? Cycling is simply faster than bus.

    Is it functional? I think yes. Is it bad? Absolutely. I think your issue with the transit system is the bus from what i read here, and i do fully agree with that. But if you live near train station and work/going places near train station, it would be the cheapest and best way to travel, and for that it’s absolutely functional.


  • Work permit is 工作准征, 许可is more like permitted, allowed. Permit(as in the document, license) can also translated to 许可证, but the lack of 证 here kinda change the meaning because that 证 is an indication of document. Also the background word hinted that this is some sort of work expo, maybe the system keep telling foreigner applying that they aren’t allow thus they need a placard stating otherwise.

    But idk, i’m not from mainland, maybe they use other wording for it. Also it doesn’t matter because i completely misread the purpose of the post.






  • don’t have a functioning public transport system anywhere, at least not 12 years ago, not even in major cities like Kuala Lumpur.

    I’m not sure where you get your info from, but Kuala Lumput and Greater Kuala Lumpur(Klang Valley or area surrounding Kuala Lumpur) does have functioning public transport. In fact it’s the only city in Malaysia that has a functioning and connected LRT/MRT/Monorail line. It also have the worst road system/design in the entire Malaysia from my experience.

    Public transit development are concentrated in that specific part of Malaysia because of how horrible car driving experience is, it can turn a 15min drive to 1 and a half hour, even with the abundance of highway that cut everywhere. The rest of the Malaysia just doesn’t want public transit, with plenty of nonsensical excuse.

    The current government reintroduced buses everywhere two or so years ago where the local government failed to give a crap, but it still not enough ridership to justify spending more of it because unsurprisingly, when cars are given the top priority and buses doesn’t have a upper hand, people won’t use it.

    I still remember when i’m a teenager i can just hop on a bus to go to school and back without being late, and going to mall for hangout just with bus but nowadays, bus are novelty. The whole budget cut to fund wastage is just pissing me off.
