4 years to discover public transport inconvenience! What was he doing before that????

It's a shame that only after 4 years of holding Premiership had Badawi realised that the public transport are inconvenient to Malaysians patronising the mode of transport daily. There are so many reports, complaints including tabling in Parliament on extending the link but he did not get the thorough picture of why it was urgently required!

Amazing!

Was he simply entertaining Malaysians then when we complained about the public transport inefficient and inconvenience?

The members of public must be caught by surprise meeting the Imam of Islam Hadhari on the morning trains and can't blame if they were thinking "what the *#@&* he is doing on the train?"
Well it's nothing more then a publicity stunt to rectify his popularity and it's just for a couple of months before he dissapears into bewilderness again.

Wasn't this the same situation when he won the 2004 elections when he made a surprise visit to the Immigration Department and commented the same as today. We KL folks will see some changes to the transport system from today.

I would suggest that instead of just taking the train once, Badawi should try taking;
(a) travel on economy flights with members of the public wherever he flies,
(b) take Air Asia for flights later in the day to see it's efficiency,
(c) take public transport for events in KL or Parliament to see if he can make it in time,
(d) leisure days travelling should also be on public buses including express buses to gauge the safety and efficiency.

Mr PM, please don't stop after today's jaunt but continue patronising public transport and Malaysia will benefit much more from this leadership by example;

(a) Malaysians will be "closer" to you,
(b) we are able to experience the rush hours together,
(c) save the Government spending in having special motorcade and escorts,
(d) causing inconvenience to road users and promote safety when your motorcade weaves through the jam,
(e) ability to understand better the feelings of Malaysians and show us that you are not "sleeping",
(f) we Malaysians would like to tell you, "WALK WITH ME!" and
(g) patronize the cake sellers along and around the train stations to contribute back some money into the economy.

How about it? Any possibility?
