Jam on the Bridge!

I was sitting in the car on the way to Penang just now. There was a massive jam towards Penang! It was a bottle-neck situation, where about 7 lanes became 2? I was stuck there for almost two hours! We only moved 100 meters in 30 minutes! It seems that there was a power cable on fire, and it was clogging up the WHOLE bridge with cars! You can read about it here or here. And guess what, I never made it to Penang!

We wasted RM 5.60 on toll, and made a U-turn back. By then, the jam was already spilling out all the way to the North-South highway. I pity the people at the back, they would be wondering why there is a jam. Wasted time. Wasted petrol. Next time, wanna stage such a havoc, go la stage it on April Fool's day...

While I was in the car, I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if all who were stuck in the jam together could talk? After all, aren't we all Malaysians? Even if there were foreigners around? Aren't we all humans? And don't humans like to talk? But sadly, it's just a dream. I believe no one in the right mind would do such a thing? We let our differences come between us; races, the way each of us think, and so on...

Ah, if we were truly a society of such, I believe that the country would be a better place. Ah...
