Motorcycles out of KL City Streets

It is high time for the government to start looking into eradicating usage of private owned motorcycles of certain engine capacity like those "cup chai"out of Kuala Lumpur City's streets, at least for now. Until our transportation system has grown to become efficient, we then can banned the usage of private owned motorcycles below 1000 cc altogether.

Statistics have shown that motorcycle riders are the highest casualties on Malaysian streets. If these segments of society can't think for themselves and mostly having no regards for their own life and safety, perhaps the govenrment should interfere and ensure they opt for public transportation. This will not only save lifes hanging free on two wheels without any full protective shell as well as reducing traffic congestion, unruly riders, and the "mat rempit" phenomena.

Motorcycles are the transportation mode of the past.. it is visioned as being a popular mode for the third world countries..

We Malaysians aspiring to become a fully developed country by 2020 wouldn't want to see our streets polluted by these "cup chais"like what we see on the streets of Hanoi, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and many other ASEAN countries.

We Malaysians aspire to find our streets to be efficient, safe and sytematic like developed countries in Europe, North America and even our neighbour, Singapore.

These small engine motorcycles are just plain nuisance on the streets as well as an eye sore. They gather upfront in flocks up ahead in traffic lights, maneuvering dangerously as they speed off. They rode irresponsibly and oblivious to their surroundings whilst motorcyclist parked incessantly anywhere, be in on the road side, pedestrian's walk and even in between parking spaces meant only for cars.

We see this everyday, yet the authority and government is not doing anything about it. As if they condone these sort of vileness.

Wake up Minister! wake up society! wake up people of Malaysia! We are better than this!
