Well today was Chinese new year, and what is the difference between today and any other day? No traffic! Chinese families usually go back to there "Kampung" (that's village in Malay) for the long weekend, and traffic was just smooth in the nations capital.
I thought to my self if all the Chinese folks in Kuala Lumpur were to vanish, this is how it would be. All the roads would be jam free, and all the shops would be closed. Traditionally in Malaysia what race you were usually determined what type of work sector you'd go in. Historically Malay's have always been farmers, the English brought in the Chinese to run the mines, and the English also brought in the Indian's as cheap labor at estates.
Because the Chinese worked the mines they were usually at the fore front of a towns expansion. So in modern Malaysia the Malay's have been genetically coded to take everything easy, and try and live a relaxing life, the Chinese try and get into every and any kind of business they can, while the Indians still work at plantations, and factories. Now this isn't a generalization, I'm just looking at it from a sociological point of view. A person's hard work determines his/her position in life and that's a fact.
why am I even talking about this. I guess it's been along day, and at the moment, I'm just bored.
