Suck Chair 2

Saw this not-so surprising picture on The Sun front page today. The traffic jam happened on yesterday morning at Cheras Highway, heading towards PJ. It was mentioned that the jam lasted for a few hours. It was easy to claim that the jam caused by the huge influx of people going into/away from the city to work after a long Hari Raya break.



But what is in my mind is, whose responsible is it to prevent or minimize such a thing? The authorities do not see the need to solve the traffic jam at all, and it is easy to 'blame' it as a thing that is 'fated' to occur. The developer or highway companies are only good at coming up with ideas to open a new stream of income, in the way of making more toll booths but not at all innovative to prevent traffic jams from occurring. They are happily collecting the money, while seeing others suffer in their cars.

If this picture shows the LDP highway, my car will definitely be one of those among the crowd. Wonder if I want to complain, who should I go to? Ministry of Works, Ministry of Transport, Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Housing & Local Government, our State Government or my MP?
