Kepong to FRIM: Satu Malaysia!

April 29, 2012

We couldn't find a direct bus that goes to FRIM so we took KTM to Kepong. We have a no-taxi policy unless we have no other choices or we are running out of time. Drivers were quoting RM15 per trip from Kepong to FRIM and we couldn't find anyone to share a taxi with us. What to do? Bargain and push our luck.

RS: 8 ringgit boleh?
Driver: Ok lah.
RS: Thank you! You are a good man.
Driver: Ok lah I see you also Malaysian.
HM: Malaysia boleh! (Strike while iron is hot) You never go protest ah? (We were in KL on the day of Bersih 3.0 demonstration)
Driver: I wanted to but I need to work lah. You? Where you from?
HM: We from JB. (Pls don't ask which part) You? (Change topic)
Driver: I'm from KL lah. Ok we are here. This is FRIM.
HM: (Phew) Thank you so much! Satu Malaysia!

Bersih 3.0 was held in KL on 28 April 2012 to call for free and fair elections in Malaysia.
Satu Malaysia (or One Malaysia) is a slogan created in 2010 to promote ethnic harmony, national unity and efficient governance in Malaysia.
