As a huge fan of the KTM (keretapi tanah melayu) train, that plys the peninsular malaysia regularly, i always opt to take the train down to KL from Penang, because firstly its a night train, and if i were to get a bunk, i can get a good nights sleep throughout the entire 9 hour journey. Long, yes but ...the beds are comfortable to sleep. NOT! when there are inconsiderate people on board. To all you out there.....you know who you are!

Please please close the door! when you pass each carraige. As i must shamefully regret to say that the train system in Malaysia has never been upgraded since maybe the time they first installed the tracks. Ok some of the doors between each carraige has automation features on then. (AUTO MATION) really means, that although it was designed for people to just step on the pressure activated switch on the floor, the door will slide open without having to lay a single finger on it. But ....actually this is what you get, a man (who works for KTM) standing at the other side, who will AUTOMATICALLY press the door release button to let you in and press the CLOSE button after you crossed to the other side. Well im not complaining ...cuz i still dont have to open and close it myself. It is AUTOMATED right.
Now the only part where i start complaining is when the f**ker...goes Ular...(snake away from work) and is gone for hours. Then there really isnt any one to open and close the door. So ....some stupid people, who only knows how to ..open the door. They will just continue walking to the other carraige, and wont care about the others ..WHO ARE TRYING DAMN HARD TO SLEEP....in the other carraige.

a TIP you must remember when you buy train tickets is....(im getting in to trouble for letting this secret out, cuz then ill get plenty of competition for my fav...bunk) to request that your bunk is in the middle of the carraige. Those bunks near the door, forget about sleeping liao. Youll need like a strip of sleeping pills to ....sleep through the racket!


So please. Some doors arent automated. All im asking is some consideration to close the door after you.
Its really evident ..that if you know how to close the toilet door...why cant you close the ..... carraige door.

cipet....
