The correct way would be to wait for the green light to flash at the zebra crossing. Or you could take the pedestrian bridge. Or follow the Malaysian way, just run!
This morning, I witness the full power of the hand. Yeap. That's right. The hand is a very powerful tool indeed.
I was reaching a row of shop houses. There was no zebra crossing. No pedestrian bridge. No traffic lights. A hunched old lady wanted to make it to the other side of the road. The vehicles were moving on fast. Obviously she couldn't just run across. So, she held up her left hand.
She held up her hand and limped a step forward. She limped another step. And another step. The on-coming vehicles stopped one by one, no matter how fast they were moving. No one honked. No one flashed their headlights at her. She didn't say anything. She just held up her hand and limped her way forward. The surprising thing was, all the vehicles patiently waited for her to reach the other side before accelerating again.
Walah..how cool is that? Macam kena jampi. Hmmm....I wonder if my hand could cause such an impact? Can I raise my hand and walk straight across? I'd be lucky not to be run over. Or get a RM500 fine.
