Learning from others

Many years ago, in the 80s, when I rode on the MRT in Singapore, I was so impressed by the almost seemless connectivity between North-South and East-West lines, that when I rode on the LRT in KL, the contrast couldn't be more glaring as I had to exit one station, walked to another in the vicinity, buy another ticket to ride on another line.
Years later, our transport minister finally realised his & his predecessors' folly at the disconnect of the whole system.
Too many crooks....err.....I mean cooks, spoil the soup, I guess, but we all end up slurping the unpalatable stuff.

Mun,

are you relieved?

I took the MRT from my place to Bukit Bintang and I must say the new stations look like nice and modern. The connecting link from Plaza Rakyat to Merdeka is convenient though quite a distance to walk but no big deal, good for exercise.

Mun,

I can imagine the inconvenience during a breakdown.
