Tribute to the 'greatest' species of drivers in the world (NOT!)

I have been toying with this project for years. Today, after yet another incident of being pushed around on the road, decided that it's as good a time as any to start ! The fact that today coincided with the first day of the government's 'operation' to plant plain-clothes enforcement officers to check on and punish errant bus drivers (finally, real action at last) also makes it an auspicious day as well.

So, what is this blog about, more to the point, what is that title all about ? What makes Malaysian drivers so great ?

Well, it is a dedication to myself and thousands of fellow suffering road users like myself. You all know who you are. Everyday we take to the roads to get to work to earn a living. And everyday we get pushed around by almost everything on the road : motorbikes, heavy vehicles, traffic police escorting so-caled 'VIPs', and other cars on the road. I am sure you, like me, have lost your temper countless times. How many times have you wanted to get down and bash that idiot in the face ? We don't of course, because we are a sensible lot and we know violence leads nowhere (doesn't make it easy though at the heat of the moment).

Well, I have always been taught, since young, that the 'PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD'. Since I am quite well versed with the pen, so what better way to vent my frustration and anger than to pen it down into a blog.

How will I do it ? Well, since it IS my personal blog, I am afraid only my own tales will be featured. Obviously it will be from my perspective and point of view. But give me time and I am confident I will prove how I am able to expand it to all sides of the coin.

As I have been toying with this blog idea for a very long time, I have taken lots of photos with my handphone. At one time, this was the only way for me to relieve my frustration - take photos of the culprits, with the intention of putting them into 'print' on the web. Well, so now I finally do it.

So, to all those people who have been driving like you own the road, whether you know it or not, this blog IS dedicated t you : The 'Great' Malaysia Driver, and I might add, the rudest, most kia-su drivers in the world !
