For me, I rather see the all elected reps take public transport. Let them stand side by side with the Bangladeshi worker or the old Indian lady. Let them hear young school boys cracking jokes or see cigarette smelling pakcik smiling happily.
Try praying daily that there won’t be traffic jam, the bus will arrive on time or won’t break down along the way. Try worrying that no pervert try to act funny with female passengers or some mentally disturbed person don’t sit next to you.
So, between Proton or Camry, choose the bus.
One thing though, the Proton rep said that average car traveling distance is 20,000 to 30,000km. I drive at least 50km per day. And it took me 9 months to reach 20,000km. Any assemblyman worth his/her position should be doing at least 3 times more traveling than average people like me.
So, which car would it be?
