The Transport Ministry says purchases made after the final redemption date are still allowed.

Minister Anthony Loke says over 2,500 people are expected to benefit from the scheme.

In the second quarter Malaysian regulator MAVCOM received 87% more applications for new routes than in Q2 2022.

Penangites want the state government to introduce congestion charges similar to that which is imposed in Singapore and Hong Kong.

I forgot to make this post, but do you know there exists a species known as priority seat gatekeeper aunties?

A few weeks ago, I heard an aunty speaking really loud about something someone tak tau baca She's old, (but not that old, probably in her mid 50s at most?) so someone asked her if she would like to take the priority seat, but then she said no. But she wouldn't let anyone else sit despite it's peak hour so there's one wasted space there.

What's your stance on this? Are regular people not allowed to use the priority seat no matter what, or is it justified as long as there's no one who needs it and you give the seat out as soon as there's someone who needs it?

Apparently one of PH's most successful initiatives but it is giving me "they are going to kidnap me" vibes for some reason. I will try it either this week or the next. Let's see if I survive 🤣

Not even from Penang but thought this was an interesting watch.

Previously not long after Anthony Loke become the transport minister, rapidKL always gave an explanation whenever an issue happens, and they'll always address the issue in a PR statement. But nowadays they just mention they'll investigate the issue and never come up with an explanation. Was all that PR game last time just for show?

LRT is a common public transportation nowadays. Many countries are building LRT to serve people's mobilization, including ASEAN countries.

Not Malaysia-specific, but extremely relevant.

A reverse effect to traffic generation is the phenomenon of “traffic evaporation”: traffic that disappears when road space is reallocated from private vehicles to more sustainable modes of transport like walking, cycling and public transportation. While traffic evaporation has been well-documented for more than 20 years, most decision- and opinion-makers are still under the impression that reducing car lanes will make traffic worse.

All this does not mean that cities don’t require adequate road connectivity among rural areas and other cities. But reducing road space for cars in denser areas while improving areas for walking, cycling and public transportation clearly does not produce the chaos many believe it will. It is actually a more sustainable and equitable way of improving mobility in dense and fast-growing cities

I haven't been to Penang in years but this entire walking video is such an indictment weh. (ETA: adding hashtags, to see if it gets fetched) #TootSEA #MYToots
