Use Pedestrian Bridge For Your Safety, Please...

With Malaysian drivers' attitute on the road speeding as if they are on Formula One racing circuit fighting over the championship with Micheal Schumacher, it's almost impossible for other 'normal' road users to feel safe on the road, especially pedestrians *like me!*

In fact, we are putting our life at danger each time we cross busy roads in big cities. Any time, our lives can be taken away.

So the government actually spend on building pedestrian bridge for pedestrians to use when crossing busy road. Not only we feel safe, but it saves time without the need to look "left right and left again..." That's what we learn in primary school anyway.

To build a pedestrian bridge is not cheap! It costs RM500,000 for an overhead bridge. Imagine RM500,000 we can buy two Mazda RX8 or perhaps a Semi Detach house at Kuching. With half a million ringgits, we can also fund many poor families. RM500,000 can be put for better social welfare fund.

However, our lives are more important right? Our lives worth more than RM500,000. In fact, can say it's infinity value! So we can't blame the government for spending RM500,000 for building a pedestrian bridge for the sake of the public.

BUT!

When does spending RM500,000 is a waste?

Take a clearer look of this photo below!

I came across this article in The Star today.

Can you notice something wrong?

Few pedestrians actually cross the road WITHOUT using the newly officiated bridge! What a waste... sigh!

People spent RM500,000 on a bridge and even had all those ministers officiated along with lion dance... but it's just a waste when we typical Malaysians just ignore our safety and prefer to risk our lives by crossing the road. Can't we walk a little far by using the bridge and we actually keep our body more fit?
