So the holy month of Ramadan is here again – a month of piety, patience and humility. But along with it, it also brings 30 days of chaos and madness on the road, -- the traffic jams .
All of a sudden the number of cars on KL roads seem to multiply four folds ! Where were all these cars before these ? And this is not because people are all driving to the office because the trains would be packed floor to ceiling !
You may say that its because everybody goes back at the same time to catch the breaking of the fast at home. But , the jam starts as early as 3.00pm , and goes on to about 30 - 45 mins before the break of the fast !Thats almoe three and a half hours of traffic mayhem.
And all this is aggravated where there are Pasar Ramadan. Look at my housing estate, the the pasar Ramadan is smack in the middle of it and people who are in a hurry to get home, had to go through a maze of people and cars ---FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS ! Mind you , you mustn't get angry or lose your temper--it would be very unbecoming even to horn !.
Indeed the test of Ramadan is greater now.
No disrespect intended (Heaven forbids) , but I wonder during the times when people use camels and horses instead of cars, what sort of 'tests' did they face ? mmmmmmm......maybe no place to tie up your camels to ? inconsiderate riding of horses/camels ? Over dropping of horses/camels droppings ?
Anyway........Selamat Berpuasa to all Muslim community members !

second the motion! need to build and cement an 'infinity' wall for preventing anger mood to act during this ramadhan..weekdays need to face all jams and also, 'swarm' of people at the ramadhan market before reaching my house..huhu...what make the number of cars triplet during ramdhan, coz there are non-muslims who are busy body enough wanna go home early also to catch that Ramadhan market.. that's probably one the reason, don't ya think mr.tweaker?

I have to disagree on that. I don't think companies would allow the non-Muslims to go back early. In fact , in my company, only marries Muslims are allowed to go off earlier. Than the Muslim singles half an hour or so later. The non-Muslims go back normal time.
