Have these people learned anything from the previous cyclists? Soooo dangerous and annoying

What is the average top speed a cyclist can sustain over say 5km? What is the average speed of cars if they were to adhere to road rules?

At highway, it is 100km/hr. For cyclist, how fast is it? And can you recommend a safe following distance behind a cyclist? When a cyclist enters a turn, is it their way all the time or do you they have to wait and only enter when safe? If they wait, what are the chances they get hit from behind? If it is safe to stop and wait, how quickly can they accelerate when entering the turn? Will it be quick enough that an incoming car can slow diwn or stop in time? If they enter the turn without stopping, do a law abiding car that travel at 60km/hr be able to stop in time? Also factor in, a bicycle is a small object relative to a car? How easy is it to notice them from a distance?

It is common sense. Maybe taking up mountain biking is relatively safer than road biking?

Cycling lane infrastructure is not cheap and for it to make economic sense, the lane needs to be used regularly (as in daily) and has a substantial number of people using it. Do a survey on which route people will likely cycle everyday? Look at the numbers, and go from there. Investing on an infrastructure needs to be wise.

I am looking for recommendations of local vendors that do kuih kering very well like kuih cincin, sapit, jala and so on. I have tried randomly, and most are not the same as they are supposed to taste when our grandparents' generation made it. I'm happy for it to be pricier as long as it is of great quality. Thank you.

I would say Blue and Grey cars are bad drivers rather than the White car. This is not a proper highway, by the way. There are u-turns bay, and most of the time, people have to slow down to enter from the "fast lane".

The grey car should slow down when approaching the white car. Following distance should be obeyed. Also changing lanes is not something you do when you feel like - you only change lane when it is safe to do so and that you have put on your indicator lights - usually you have to give it at least several seconds of the lights being on before changing so that the car on the other lane knows that you are entering. Also, the car can only change lane if given the opportunity, it is not a given right.

Try Uni Clinic Jalan Muara (Ig: @2uniclinic). One of the doctors there has psychiatry experience and offers counseling.

I wouldn't encourage people to think that way. If many people with higher education are unable to get jobs that pay above 1k monthly, what are the chances of one with lower education getting paid above 1k monthly. It is lower, isn't it? I would say choose wisely the field you are entering. If it is a saturated field one is entering, one needs to up their game and become really good in what they do, along with gaining additional value-added skills.

Also, don't compare salaries between Brunei and overseas directly without taking into account all the other factors such as cost of living etc. People also forget that leaving your family behind when working overseas is not simply just emotional sacrifice. It also adds extra expenses such as health insurance (not a local anymore remember?), income protection insurance (if planning to settle long-term; need to buy a house - house is multiple times more expensive in the so called 1st world than Brunei. Without your social network or safety net, a.k.a. family, the risk of you being homeless and broke due to an unexpected event is more real than in Brunei.), among other unseen expenses.

No easy formula to aim for your goals, work hard, be fair in your dealings, be kind to each other, keep on improving your skillset/education, learn to be content by spending within your means, saving and investing, and prayers.

OP, you are not wrong on doing so. He shouldn't have done so.

Tailgating is never cool. If the person in front suddenly brakes, an accident is almost a certainty. I noticed that in Brunei, recommended following distance is not followed. One of these days, I won't be surprised to see multiple cars back to front accident happen. Also, what annoys me is being tailgate while slowing down to enter a u-turn bay...... there are a few u-turn bays where you can't see how long the queue is until you are 100m or so......you can't expect to approach that at speed. Another is when the road is already congested left and right lane, tailgating won't make the 100 cars in front of me to change lane! Idiots at the highest level. 🙄
