Car consideration

Since my current car is quite old and some more it nearly met an accident over the weekend, I seriously about thinking of changing to a new car with better stakes in providing safety I guess. I've long been wanting to change it since some time last year.

Well, I heard from my colleague that Iswara Aeroback is selling at RM26,999 all in. The price is within my means and I hope to get it it a test drive. My ideal one will be a small car as it is easier to be parked. However, another friend said that local car is not durable and the trouble will come after 4 to 5 years. Well, that's far dowb the road and maybe I'd be driving some imported foreign cars then.

I like this new regulation

After the shock I had on saturday, I really welcome this move by the Road Transport Department. It will only implement from this October but I wish it can be earlier. I hope motorists here can cherish their precious lives. There are simply too many fatalities and there's a rogue culture among many drivers here that it is cowardly to give way to others.

In this new curriculum, learner drivers must show they have acquired defensive driving skills before they can qualify for a driving licence. Defensive driving would also include educating motorists to make way for pedestrians.

I fully welcome this move and even suggest the department to send drivers with poor records for 're-certification'.

Weekend's here again!

Yesterday I mentioned something about politicians might view blogs as threats and the next day there's a local politician speaking about this topic, as reported in this article, Be responsible, bloggers urged. Isn't it coincidental? I think bloggers are going to be in spotlight and who knows...... Anyway, I'm not touching about sensitive subjects so there's no worry at all.

Well, on to something more positive, I'm seriously considering changing my old and trusted Proton Wira to something newer and fresher. It's due to a big overhaul as I'm worried about its safety due to massive usage and it's more worth it to get a new one I feel. As I'm quite tight in budget, I guess I will still be shopping for a Malaysia-made car like MyVi or Savvy. Are there any newer models anyone can recommend? I'm looking for one about 1,300cc and I'm not very updated into all the car stuff.

Today is Friday again and I'm glad that weekend is near again! I hope this week there won't have any last minute weekend assignment from the company because it really a sinking feeling!
