I’m a resident of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. I’ve lived here my entire life, but lately I’ve been feeling a certain level of hatred towards Singaporean drivers.
Come into JB and confirm you’ll see someone pumping petrol shaking the car
You see, it has become increasingly common for Singaporean drivers to come across the border, fill up their petrol tanks, and then proceed to shake their car like they’re ‘piak-ing’ inside.
It’s a sight that I find incredibly unappealing and cheapo and it’s something that I have to witness on a daily basis.
They think by doing so they can get every ounce of petrol into their tank.
No one bothers about the rules here
The authorities here in Johor Bahru don’t seem to care about the issue and they don’t take any action when it comes to Singaporean drivers.
They only care about ‘kopi duit’, which is slang for ‘coffee money’ that they can potentially get from these Singaporean drivers and so Singaporeans here constantly break the rules because they think they can get away easily just by giving some money to these authorities.
So I’m left feeling incredibly frustrated and helpless because nothing seems to be able to stop all these nonsense happening in my country.
Dislikes most Singaporean registered cars inside JB
I’m sure that Singaporean drivers aren’t all bad, but the ones I’ve seen pumping petrol and shaking their cars like they’re ‘piak-ing’ inside are just too much for me to bear.
It’s also a shame that my home has become inundated with drivers from Singapore who don’t seem to care about the rules of the road or the feelings of others.
I just wish that they would show a little bit more respect and consideration.
Unfortunately, the situation is unlikely to improve anytime soon.
The Singaporean drivers continue to come to Johor Bahru to pump petrol and shake their cars like they’re ‘piak-ing’ inside, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
All I can do is hope that they can learn not to be so cheapo and eventually learn to respect Johor Bahru and the rules of the road.
