Only a 2-yr old child was killed in the accident involving the Kancil and a Wira. I said "only" because a total of 10 ppl were involved in the accident. It's no less tragic though. For those of you who haven't ever seen these kinda things: squeezing as many ppl into a car or onto a motorcycle is a national pastime in Malaysia.
No sh*t it's dangerous! But when a family can only afford one form of private transporation, you'd always get ppl doing things like this.

Sometimes from a rich nation's point of view it's crazy but from a 3rd world citizen's point of view, this scene is normal. Squeezing as many people on a car is justifiable knowing that the average monthly wage is measly. Since it happened in Malaysia, then that's stupid, Malaysia ain't that poor! :)

manila: there's still poorer people here, just like anywhere else. But I guess it also sucks more when the public transport is not adequate so they are forced to do this.
ReplyDeleteActually, squeezing 8 people into a car could be quite possible. Especially if some of those people are small enough to squeeze into the area where the front passenger's feet are...
ReplyDeletestarry: sit in that little area. Holy shit...now that's freaking dangerous. :P
ReplyDeletewell I know of someone who did that and covered himself up with a towel to avoid getting into deep shit with the booze bus cops... lol
