The Trip to Kota Bahru

Its been quite sometimes I haven’t been to KB though I was born in KB. My parents have migrated to Ipoh where as myself, I have become the so-called permanent resident of Subang Jaya, Selangor. There are of course some differences, the most notable is traffic jam. The so many cars on the road and the traffic system is not properly managed. No police traffic officers or city council enforcement officers to oversee the flow. People just park cars where ever they like disrupting traffic flows. In addition, the roads are narrow and most roads are one-way as well as pedestrian crossing the roads with no over-head crossing bridges.

The driver took me to the Pasar Siti Khadijah, telling me I can buy what ever local delicacies from there. The market is dirty as usual and most of them doing business there are women. Where have all the Kelantanese men have gone, I was wondering….

The town is dirty as usual. Rubbish thrown everywhere and drains are cloaked. May be this is one of the reasons for the easiness for flood to take place. The meeting that was asked to attend with Tok Pa was regarding the development of Kelantan. One of the issues discussed was pertaining to the conduct of Kelantanese football fans burning chairs during the final match against Negeri Sembilan team at Bukit Jalil stadium.

The Kelantan Government under PAS rule doest not bring much changes to the state. Old friends whom I met say that the Kelantanese are happy under PAS rule. They don’t want to be rich but earn enough to support their daily lives. Anyway this is their personal opinion. As for me more needs to be done. Infrastructure facilities are so far behind. Changes required to take place fast if the state want to be on par as other states. Islam does not forbid its ummah to progress and developto achieve success in this world. Success in this world will bring success in the hereafter.
