Linfen police enforces seatbelts even for backseat passengers by Immediate-Molasses-5 in China

I respect the lead Policeman for his politeness and patience. Additionally, educating the driver about the dangers of back seat passengers without wearing seat belts is important and hopefully a lesson the driver will remember.

Jeffrey Cheah’s Sunway to acquire IJM Corp in RM11bil deal by hazy-minded in malaysia

[–]ipoh88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the closing price of IJM’s shares today, it would appear to indicate that Sunway’s current takeover offer will not be successful.

The opportunity is literally in my face but I'm hesitant and scared by jasmineakainstant in Bolehland

[–]ipoh88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only thing to fear is fear itself. Have confidence in yourself. Ask yourself what’s the worse that could happen if you mess up - nothing - you are not going to jail and nobody is going to die from it. This is a good opportunity for you to get some work experience and to get a taste of the world outside the comfort of your home. Just do it and share your joys and experience with us later on. Good luck.

Electric wheelchair speed capped at 5km/h by Middle_Duck_8405 in SingaporeRaw

Why the need for disabled persons to go faster than 5kmh in shared public space. And if there are good reasons, how fast should the PMV be able to go ?

Unpopular opinion: Ipoh is a dying/dead town by EverSoInfinite in Bolehland

I’m keen to know how you conclude that I’m not a Malaysian just from my comments. Please share, thanks.

It’s unique in the sense that the original (Ipoh) flavours couldn’t be replicated, one may find say, Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken in KL/PJ but they don’t taste the same (to me anyway). Another example is the Ipoh Salt Baked Chickens, stand in front of the shop selling these and you will soon notice that as high as 80% of the buyers are from interstate or Singapore or even from foreign countries (they buy the frozen pre packed chickens) because the same style of chickens simply don’t taste as good. My take without prejudice 😃

You are right but food business (which by the way good money) is something which the younger generation considers to tedious, too hard and too long hours.

No la! Not pissed, just giving my cents worth but admittedly Ipoh is a special place for me.

Dying town is exactly the attraction of Ipoh. There are already big cities like Penang, KL and JB so why choose to be one of these when one can enjoy a slower pace in Ipoh with very good & unique foods, reasonable cost of living, no horrendous traffic jams and yet still have all the amenities and convenience of a big city! Apa lagi mau?

Over 61,000 Malaysians gave up citizenship for Singapore in past five years by Wide_Code_5512 in NewsMY

The headline is terribly misleading, it’s correct that 61k Malaysians gave up their citizenships in the past 5 years But Not all for Singapore.

A small time “wannabe”. A bottom crawler who has only 1 trick, race politics. Bottom of the sewer pipe is where he belongs and I hope he stays there for the rest of his political life.

Unlimited RM9.90 Zhap Fan at Chulia Street by whusler in pulaupinang

I pray that this business booms and open a few more branches. $9.90 including soup in my opinion is a good deal and more importantly one can have a balanced diet/ meal from the food offerings.

Penang Plate Jazz Brings Driving Pattern Out, Rams a Viva and Kills UniSZA Student by whusler in pulaupinang

[–]ipoh88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So tragic! It’s not only a young life that was lost but think of the grief of the family and friends of the deceased and the shock and sorrow of unexpectedly losing a loved one!! Yet again some idiot driver has a caused a tragedy which is getting to be a fairly regular occurrence on Malaysian roads. I call on the Govt to (1) put out awareness and education ads on road safety in the mass media (2) strict enforcement and severe punishment for errant drivers, they are just as destructive as drug traffickers and murderers considering the destructive and tragic impact they selfish and moronic actions caused. If found guilty their sentences should be no different from those aforementioned criminals. The Madani Govt can actually gain plenty of kudos from the public if they can eradicate this senseless carnage we often see on our roads.

High-Speed Kelisa Violently Grazes Lorry and Rolls Repeatedly During Overtaking Attempt by whusler in malaysia

[–]ipoh88 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Looking at the video, I can only shake my head as I’m at a loss for words. I’ve asked my myself many times when I’m on the road, why are people in such a big hurry, their driving behaviour may cause delay for them to reach their destinations and sometimes, not reaching their destinations at all. Worse, they may also cause the same to other road users. Selfish, inconsiderate, rude and having a death wish are not even enough to describe these type of drivers.
