Last Thursday, I decided to go to Masjid Jamek to do some last minute shopping before Ramadhan. But before that I have to run to KL Sentral to do errand at the bank there. So I have decided to take Komuter to KL Sentral and then later an LRT to Masjid Jamek. When I was contemplating with this decision while driving, it was seems so straightforward and faster and easier....
So I went to park my car at Bandar Tasik Selatan and as the station is in construction, I have to park quite far from the station, the only available space and I was grateful I get the parking space.
So I start my long journey to the station and to KL Sentral....literally long journey....
I missed the train when I arrived there. So I have to wait for the next train. Not so many people there and I waited while playing Plant vs Zombie. After half an hour, still no train and I get bored playing the game. Opposite platform there are many advertising board " Rakyat diUtamakan Pencapaian Didahulukan". I had read all big words on the board and still the train is not in sight....huh...so much of Rakyak diutamakan...to get the simple train on schedule pun susah....Then the announcement came of the train delay, no reason whatsoever....
So on that day I have to wait for 1 hour to get into Komuter and reach KL Sentral for another half an hour.....all together 1 and half hour to get to KL Sentral! what....I wasted my precious time on waiting only....
Back in 2008 when I was working in PMC company building an office tower in KL Sentral, I used Komuter train regularly and that was my most tiring time in my life. A long process in station itself, train delay, waiting, standing in packed train, squashing myself to get into the train so that I don't have to wait the next delay train where condition was the same, all things of the pass....
So 5 year later the condition is still the same....status quo....what a disappointment....amidst with transport minister announcement on new train arrival

They did have new train....the one that came after such a long delay was a new train, sort of LRT style, but it never can mended my precious time lost due to their inefficiency.
