Here's a little post on the quirkiness of the 'Malaysian' way of doing things. To start things off, here is a scene that I managed to snap a photo of when caught in the jam and the heavy downpour. The poor workers were patching the tarmac when it poured from the heavens. You must admire them for being able to work under such dire conditions. I am not too sure about the safety aspect though...

At least this this less hilarious than IMHO what I saw in Adelaide. When I was there last summer (summer down under) I was told to observe a particular work site when we drove past the site. One glance and it looked perfectly normal, just like any worksite. Only when prompted to look again did I get the hilarity of the scene. There were six people on a work site. Fine, you may think that with that large number of workers, things must get done pretty quick, but wait...Only ONE person is working on the machine, the rest were, well observing the guy. Perhaps two were observing the guy on the digger whilst the other three were observing the two observers. I guess they must be strong proponents for slow and steady wins the race...
