Nice to see there are also bus fans in Malaysia. I am an avid collector of model buses but sadly there is no representation of any model of a Malaysian prototype in my collection. I naturally look forward to seeing at least one in my display cabinet. Anyway, your RapidKL shot is excellent, so is the text. Keep up your good work!

Peter, no wonder the RapidKL rep was so cocky last Sunday. That’s because BEAT is perceived to have no political clout. We have got to have political backing…

Peter:
If only there are politicians who are serious in supporting our cause without ulterior motives. As it is now, they have gotten all the good publicity by publicly issuing statements to support us but have done nothing more to improve the situation. Likewise, RapidKL has gotten all the good publicity regarding accessible buses in the press but in the end, wheelchair users still left high and dry with buses that we cannot us.

Yes, for show only…
