Cabbies against coupon system

Cabbies against coupon system

The cabbies in Johor Bahru's Larkin station is complaining about a coupon system to be implemented soon (ala airport style). They claim they use meters for all this while! What kind of bull shit this is???? It's a known fact that taxi drivers in JB (especially at Larkin station) do not use the meters and instead impose a flat rate on passengers, normally at exorbitant prices. A non-local is easily fleeced by these unscrupulous taxi drivers. I fully support Larkin's proposal to implement a coupon system and call on the JPJ to carry out stricter enforcement to nab errant taxi drivers. They have been terrorizing commuters for long enough!

Of course, there are a few taxi drivers who actually use the meters but they are few to come by!

If electricity was not made

Imagine if Thomas Edison has not invented electricity....



In our daily life, we take electricity for granted. In Malaysia, we are blessed to have continuous supply of electricity. Sure we have supply interruptions occasionally... but that actually hardly happens nowadays. Thanks to a strong and reliable grid system built by TNB and supported by the IPPs!

Imagine life in countries where supply outage is a daily affair. Few hours of darkness each day.... power cuts in the evening on a hot summer day and at night in a cold winter night!
