M'sian netizens bash S'porean drivers for selfish behaviour

Malaysian netizens have been criticising Singaporeans for breaking parking rules in Johor Bahru, especially their inconsiderate acts of parking in handicap lots.

In a popular Malaysian forum, netizen 'ahlong7788' said he saw a Singapore car parked in the handicap lot in the carpark of Bukit Indah Jusco shopping centre.

He immediately took a photo of the car in the lot and posted it online.

It was clear that the lot was for handicapped drivers as there were symbols on the ground and signboards around the lot stating so.

'ahlong7788' said, "Don't tell me these Singaporeans don't understand English? When I was at the carpark, there were many other empty lots around."

"This particular driver parked in the handicap lot for convenience. That's so selfish!" the user exclaimed.

Following his post, many other forum users blasted Singaporeans for only following the law in Singapore and not in Malaysia.

Netizen 'nobodycareme' said, "They come to Malaysia to do the things they can't do in Singapore!"

Many others responded sarcastically that Singaporeans think they are highly educated but they cannot even understand simple English and symbols.

"They cannot possibly misunderstand those symbols and the signs. I can only say that they (Singaporeans) are seriously lacking in moral education!"

Other netizens suggested informing the management of the shopping mall about this incident so that they will be stricter in future about similar cases.

"The management should clamp the wheels of the car so that other drivers who witness this will be warned not to park in handicap lots in future."
