Pengguna Motosikal Dikambinghitamkan

Oleh Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

Setiap kali Kuala Lumpur lumpuh, setiap kali Lembah Klang bertukar menjadi tempat letak kereta paling panjang, pasti ada suara berkata, “Motorlah punca jem.”

Benarkah? Atau kita sedang mencari jalan mudah untuk menyalahkan golongan yang hanya cuba menyesuaikan diri dengan sistem yang sedia ada?

Satu Cerita Ringkas Di Jalan Raya

Dua lelaki keluar rumah jam 6.30 pagi.

Seorang memandu kereta.
Air-cond terpasang. Kopi di sebelah. Dia seorang diri dalam kereta.

Seorang lagi menunggang motosikal.
Helmet dipakai. Panas terasa. Risiko sentiasa ada.

Kedua-duanya mahu sampai ke tempat kerja. Mahu cari rezeki.

Jalan mula perlahan. Bukan kerana motosikal. Tetapi kerana deretan kereta satu orang satu kenderaan.

Penunggang motosikal menyelit perlahan dan berhati-hati. Jika dia menunggu seperti kereta menunggu, mungkin setengah hari hilang begitu sahaja.

Jika semua motosikal bertukar menjadi kereta esok, adakah jalan akan lebih lancar? Atau lebih sesak?

Kesesakan berlaku apabila jumlah kenderaan melebihi kapasiti jalan. Sebuah kereta menggunakan ruang jauh lebih besar berbanding motosikal.

Malaysia antara negara dengan kadar pemilikan kereta yang tinggi. Bandar dibina untuk memandu. Pusat pekerjaan tertumpu. Pengangkutan awam masih belum menyeluruh sepenuhnya.

Dalam sistem sebegini, motosikal bukan punca. Ia adalah adaptasi.

Jika Mahu Perubahan, Ubah Struktur

Jika mahu penunggang motosikal beralih ke pengangkutan awam, pastikan dahulu sistem itu benar-benar lengkap dan praktikal.

Bolehkah semua orang berjalan kaki ke stesen? Adakah bas cukup kerap? Adakah kapasiti mencukupi waktu puncak?

Tanpa jawapan jelas, cadangan tersebut hanya kedengaran baik di atas kertas.

Penutup

Pengguna motosikal bukan musuh sistem. Mereka adalah sebahagian daripada ekosistem mobiliti negara.

Selagi kita terus mencari kambing hitam, selagi itu kesesakan akan kekal.

Sudah tiba masanya kita melihat masalah ini secara menyeluruh, bukan sekadar menyalahkan yang paling mudah disalahkan.

Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot

Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot Karamjit Singh – The Flying Sikh Malaysia Forgot The only World Champion Malaysia ever produced in motorsports… yet we let him drive Grab to survive. By: Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There are some Malaysian names that should live forever. Names that should be written in gold, taught in schools, and carved into our national memory — not because they were lucky, but because they fought the entire world and won. One of those names is Karamjit Singh . A boy who watched Ari Vatanen rally on a grainy cassette tape and told himself silently: “One day, I want to be like that.” No sponsors. No fancy cars. No government programs. Just a dream, a father’s old Peugeot, and a hunger that burned like fire. A Malaysian who literally outran the world While most of us watched racing only on TV, Karamjit was out there beating Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota and the world’s biggest rally teams. A...

Malaysia’s Silent Cancer – Are We Leaving the Nation in Such Hands?

Image
A Cancer We Chose to Ignore Malaysia is not waiting for an explosion. It is already dying of a cancer we refused to treat. Not sudden. Not loud. Silent. Slow. Deadly. This cancer has been fed by decades of failed policies, political games, race cards, corruption scandals, abuse of power, and a society that normalises shortcuts. From immigration leaks to the selling of government secrets and properties, the betrayal has been constant. Like all untreated cancers, it only grows. And one day, it will kill. Ministers, MPs, and the Politics of Betrayal Are we leaving this country in the hands of leaders who: switch education policies for votes instead of futures? divide Malaysians by race and religion rather than unite us? treat Parliament like a stage for shouting matches instead of reforms? survive sex scandals, money scandals, and abuse scandals with no shame? If this is leadership, then it is not medicine. It is poison. The Mirror of Our Attitudes The cancer is not only ...

Was He Caught Without His Pants: The Death of Fixed Deposits & The Rise of Thinkers

Was He Caught Without His Pants: The Death of Fixed Deposits & The Rise of Thinkers Sabah killed the “fixed deposit” myth, exposed greed and complacency, and reminded Malaysia that the future belongs to thinkers – not fanatics, not yes-men, not lazy doers. By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ When Malaysians watched the formation of the unity government after GE15, many finally exhaled. The gates of Putrajaya had new guards. The old empire had fallen. For a brief moment, people felt fresh air. Maybe this time, reform would be real. Maybe this time, it wouldn’t be about race cards, contracts and cronies. Today, that air feels heavy again. Not because Malaysians changed, but because the system refused to change with them. The clearest slap came not from Kuala Lumpur, but from Sabah – where voters quietly did the unthinkable: they ended the myth of “fixed deposits”. They caught PMX politically without his pants on . 1. The Night Fixed Deposits Died For ...
