>Seven reasons why we are not �world-class�
>Mohammed Shakur
>KL
>
>2:49pm, Wed: My brain was exhausted after answering one of the most
>difficult online polls (conducted by one of our local major newspaper
>publications) I have ever encountered for years. Despite most of the
>questions that were somewhat easy, one question was really mind-boggling,
>which goes something like, "Is KL world-class?" I had to pinch myself once
>just to make sure that I was not dreaming.
>
>Is KL world-class? This is just like asking if our M-league is on par with
>the Italian Serie A league.
>
>As the answer space was limited there, I list here seven defective habits
>of some Malaysians that make KL and Malaysians far from �world-class�:
>
>Habit No 1 - Inability to use public toilet
>
>It seems that some Malaysians can't even pee in the toilet bowl - let alone
>flush the toilet after use. Take a look at our public toilet and you�ll
>know what I mean.
>
>Habit No 2 - Reckless driving
>
>If Proton and Perodua were to cut their production costs (especially with
>the upcoming Asean Free Trade Agreement), I would recommend one sole
>suggestion - take off the left and right signal lights off! I guess the
>give-left/right-signal procedure does not even exist in some Malaysians�
>dictionary of life.
>
>Once, I nearly rammed upon an Isuzu Trooper (on the PLUS highway) after the
>pakcik driving it suddenly swerved into my lane when I was travelling at
>110kph. The authorities also need to realise that a person who drives
>recklessly even at 60kph is more likely to face an accident compared with a
>person who drives cautiously at 250kph (this is proven by German
>researchers, by the way).
>
>Habit No 3 - Sibuk (Nosing Around)
>
>Ever tried wearing or doing something different and get yourselves stared
>at like an alien? It happened to me a lot of times - the most memorable one
>that was at the Los Angeles International Airport, when I had to perform my
>Zuhur solat in the international departure hall. Guess what happened -
>while I was not even bothered by the WASPs (white Anglo-Saxon Protestants),
>African Americans, or any foreigners, I was stared at by a whole bunch of
>Malaysians who looked as if they had not seen a person performing solat
>before!
>
>Habit No 4 - Practising double standards
>
>Even though we are a so-called 'merdeka' country, there is still a
>colonised bunch of Malaysians walking proud in the land. Let me narrate one
>of the most recent incidents from a couple that I've been through. In my
>search to find a decent piece of neckwear, I decided to visit Starhill in
>the Bukit Bintang area in KL.
>
>Upon entering a famous fashion house boutique, I was not even greeted (let
>alone given a smile), even after smiling to the sales assistant. Five
>minutes later, a Mat Salleh gentleman went in, and immediately, the same
>sales assistant greeted the gentleman, "Good afternoon, Sir; how can I help
>you?"
>
>Habit No 5 - Imitating/Replicating
>
>Ever come across blonde-haired woman with black eyebrows? Look further -
>just take a stroll on the famous and 'chic' Jalan Telawi 2 in Bangsar and
>you will come across a number of wannabe blondes. Plus, has anyone realised
>how innovative we are in replicating? A look at our streets will show an
>abundance of Mitsubishi Lancer (Wira) and Daihatsu Mira (Kancil) replicas
>on the street. By the way, for all you guys out there, don't assume that
>installing a three-inch diameter tail pipe on your Lancer/Mira replicas
>permits you all to drive like Mika Hakkinen on the roads!
>
>Habit No 6 - Cutting queues
>
>Sometimes I wondered whether we have been taught to line up or take our
>turns in anything at all. The 'queue-cutting' disease not only infected
>those infamous bus stops or supermarkets, but also the classy five-star
>hotels. Just go to any buka puasa buffet in any hotel in town, and you
>would see how kiasu some bunch of Malaysians are even when they know the
>food is more than enough for everyone.
>
>Habit No 7 - Disorganised and uncoordinated
>
>Have you ever come across anywhere else in the world where a four-lane
>'highway' would be reduced to a two-lane road in less than 100m without any
>warning signs? Or road conditions that would make even Tommi Makkinen (of
>the Mitsubishi World Rally Championship team) think twice about driving
>with his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII? To experience this, please take
>the Jalan Damansara route from KL to Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Then you can
>appreciate how 'skilled and experienced' our engineers are in planning
>construction projects.
>
>In short, we are far from world-class standards. We can be proud with some
>of the best and latest infrastructures, but it is our principles and
>mentality that matter the most. Just take a look at some cities at Europe.
>Although they don't have the most sophisticated buildings (most of their
>buildings are hundreds of years old), they are still considered
>sophisticated and world-class, for the culture and mentality of their
>citizens.
>
>I may be no better than any of you guys, but if we want to be world-class,
>think about all these small but significant habits that could be changed.
>It is the small changes that would eventually result to big changes - let
>alone any reform in our thinking and principles that we readers have been
>arguing about in our letters!
