@r00dran Thinking what you did is cool isn’t idolising but of course comprehension isn’t your strong suit.
English
MOVE ON. I am not a celebrity. I am a person. Like this guy. Like you. Like anyone else. I did what I did, so I can learn.
Me walking to Melaka is the least impressive thing I have ever done.
A man who breaks the chains holding his family back for generations? Immortal.
English
I want to take time out of my day to make an example of this point, and this guy.
Don't idolize me. Don't expect me to agree with you.
And please, don't say shit like you are disappointed. I never cared about your expectations. Or anyone's.

@r00dran Just disappointed in you really, nothing else. Thought you were a pretty cool dude cause of your walk to A Famosa. I’m not saying no one has survived but my point is it shouldn’t be a feat to merely survive. Do the research, not just the eye test.

@LOLsuprima @azrulmohdkhalib Menteri naik public transport.
Menteri pergi hospital kerajaan.
Menteri hantar anak ke SK, SMK.
That’s better.

@azrulmohdkhalib Haters will say “habis takkan Menteri nak naik Bezza?”
I say they can, and they should.
English
Would be great if our Ministers and Deputy Ministers would set an example of not using fuel guzzling vehicles like their Vellfires (why do you hve this anyway?), not using police outriders, & ensuring their drivers switch off the engine while parked.

“Free condoms?? What would I tell my kids if they saw those????”
Probably like “That’s something for grown-ups” if they’re prepubescent, or “Those are barriers to make some kinds of sex safer” if they’re a teenager. Just be matter-of-fact and developmentally appropriate. Jeez
English
@r00dran Lastly, no matter what people around him told him, he drove on his own volition.
He did that probably because he’d done it many times, just that this time it cost a father to lose his life.
Had enforcement been better maybe he wouldn’t have been so brave.
English
@r00dran I’m not denying that there are many issues within the Indian community, but there are also systemic issues.
You should read The Colour of Inequality by Prof Mohd Abdul Khalid.
English
"We" failed because for years and years, when the problems of the indian community were called out, words like racism gets thrown, indians who speak out get treated like pariahs (heh).
We failed because we make jokes about meleis, kelantan, and now it is reversing.

How did you fail Malaysia? Did you ask him to drive under influence? Did you give him drugs? This is not the fault of the community, as he doesn’t represent our community in part or as a whole. It’s sad that a life was lost nonetheless but what are you apologising for?

@r00dran I’m just curious why is she apologising on behalf of the Indian community.
The issues within the community are a result of decades of marginalisation.
But the issue of road safety boils down to the behaviour of road users and lax enforcement.
So why the racial tone?
English
We failed because most of you machas and machis personally have driven drunk, or let someone else do so.
Its funny, you see people generalizing men or women about some things, but this doesnt apply? Be honest with yourselves.
English
@IDs_XX Drugs are illegal so not really part of the conversation.
Alcohol is legal and if you’re serious on clamping down, we can start with enforcing that 9pm rule and contraband alcohol that is cheap and too accessible.
Two birds one stone again - More duties and better controls.
English
@impavi7 If alcohol brings that much money, don't you wonder how much the drug's revenue would be?
English
It is a “we problem”.
Enforcement is bad cause we enable it by paying bribes, owing favours or doing anything to avoid fines/punishments.
Thus, people think with money they can get away with anything and laws no longer apply to them.
That’s why Malaysia is called Bolehland.
The Sardonic 🇲🇾 🔻@IDs_XX
Cute how you try to make this as a "we problem". Drunk drivers and drunk driver enablers like yous are the babi.

“I am bamboozled, flabbergasted & discombobulated by a cattywampus cascade of shenanigans: an operatic brouhaha of malarkey & kerfuffle, led by a lollygagging nincompoop & his flibbertigibbet accomplice, whose pumpernickel-brained tomfoolery made all skedaddle”

@IDs_XX Lastly, on money, for the government, money is very important.
Under 2026 budget RM 3b is:
- 50% of MARA 2026 budget
- 1.25x funding for FELDA, RISDA, FELCRA
- 3x funding for enforcement work & JENDELA
- 4x funding for boosting tourism
- 12x funding to UDA for wakaf land dev
English
@IDs_XX In fact I would go even further and correct reckless behaviour by banning lane splitting and ensuring rider-pillion insurance for motorcycles. We need to be harsher on weaving and overtaking at double lines.
I want to make roads much safer not just rid them of alcohol.
English
This death was the result of one individual’s actions that was probably emboldened by lax enforcement.
If we’re apologising for crimes of Malaysian Indians maybe start with Bentong Kali.
English
How did you fail Malaysia?
Did you ask him to drive under influence?
Did you give him drugs?

Sorry Malaysia. As a Malaysia Indian!! We failing you. Till this type bastards exist. Our Indian community and Indian names will be prosper. Sorry Malaysia. Salam Takziah kepada Arwah
English
@IDs_XX More stats to show you that most of our road deaths are caused by the behaviour of road users.
Behaviour on roads can be better with better drivers ed (no more lesen kopi) and enforcement.
Better enforcement is killing all birds with one stone.

@IDs_XX RM 3b supports a significant portion of our public transport system or 1 month of petrol subsidy.
It’s a lot money and unless there’s an idea to replace that, let’s talk real solutions.
It seems like you’re a mission to ban alcohol rather than making roads safer.
