Cows on the roads.

In my earlier post, I have grunted that all the sign boards on the roads, in Malaysia, are in the Malay language, disadvantaging the foreign visitors, workers and tourists. There is no change yet. Foreigners are still free to interpret the information and instructions on the sign boards as they wished.

Well, still talking of the roads, have you driven on a Malaysian highway? Of course, you would have since they are so convenient. Along the highway, you would have surely noticed a yellow sign board with a cow's picture in black. You would have expected to see the text underneath the picture of the cow to say 'Be careful of cows on the road' or something like that, in Malay, of course (and you would have hoped someone would translate that to you). But what we actually see is just this; 'HATI- HATI MEMANDU' or when translated into English, that will be 'DRIVE CAREFULLY'. Looks like they are telling us 'You cow, drive carefully!

Actually, the letterings would have been enough. But they chose to have a picture of the cow along! Ha ha! You get it?

May be they could be right! Many drivers in Malaysia drive like cows on the roads, especially on the highways! Proof? All those accidents happening daily!
