TOURISTS and IMMIGRANTS
I've dealt with so many tourists going around everywhere,locally or in other countries. I sometimes am a tourist myself. I think that at some point, there are some unwritten rules that one should know or be aware of when travelling to a foreign country or state. First rule being, understand the laws. What are the dos and don'ts. Don't just waltz into a place thinking that you can do whatever the hell you want. It's disrespectful and disgusting. If I go to a foreign land, I'd make sure I don't get into any trouble coz the last thing I'd wanna do on a vacation is to get deported.
That's not the case with foreign people who come into this country though. I used to deal with shitloads of foreign tourists from mostly asian countries like China and Korea and they annoy the shit out of me. Not all of them, but the larger number of them. I hate tourists that travel in flocks. Why do they do that? So they'd appear in buses. And then, I've also experienced smelling pee in the public parking area when going to jetty to catch a ferry or a boat to the island. Are these people raised in farms? Do they not have bathrooms where they come from?
I have also witnessed Korean tourists just not following instructions and smoking where there was a huge and clear NO SMOKING sign was. I swear that if you are too stupid to read, the sign spoke for itself. When I think about it now, I should have pushed him overboard coz we were on a boat.
Then, there are local tourists. People from this country, travelling to different states. It's one thing to support the tourism. It's a whole other problem when every public place you could ever go to is trashed with trash. They literally eat and drink and leave their trash everywhere. How do I know they are not from the same state? This sudden amount of trash piles up everytime a long holiday happens. We were trying to enjoy ourselves at a so called secluded peace and quiet area where the locals of that particular village know but when we got there, it was packed with cars whose license plates are either from KL or Selangor or that other state which isn't an actual state.........Putrajaya.
I don't know why people don't know this but if you have trash like from eating a picnic or whatever, you need to dispose it into trash bins or place them in a bag and find a proper place to dispose them. This happens everywhere in KL. Cars parked especially in public parking areas would just leave their trash there in the parking lot when they leave. They don't bother looking for a proper disposal area. It's very unbecoming, inconsiderate and to a certain extent, retarded.
Let me tell you something I saw while walking at the beach recently..........So, the monsoon is almost over and everytime the monsoon season comes by, trash from the ocean gets pushed ashore. Sometimes, I'd find trash from other countries like Vietnam or Spain when I pick up trash by the beach. It's just a safety precaution I practise because I don't want my kids or anyone to get hurt from walking or playing by the beach.
Anywho, there's trash washed up ashore and I witnessed people having a picnic in the midst of the trash. I'm not making this shit up. They literally place their picnic mat onto the ground and have a picnic by the beach surrounded by trash. Are they.......unaware? Ignorant? I can't find the right words for this specific group of people........it's just .......strange.........Are they also the same people who'd leave their kids diapers lying around by the beach? God knows!
The other group of people I really dislike in this country are immigrants. Legal and illegal. First they come in as tourists. Then, they play the same game every other illegal immigrant is playing in this country. They leave the country and re-enter to renew their almost expired passports. I once spoke to an immigrant living in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. She's friends with my sister. She's from Spain. She said she can't afford to live in Spain coz things are too expensive and that it's difficult for her and her family to live there as Muslims so they decided to migrate.
Here's the best part, they came in as tourists. I asked if they applied for a legal green card or whatever. She said no. She'd just head over to Singapore to renew her passport and re-enters as a tourist. Oh! It's that easy?! Wanna know what else is funny about this? She and her family are renting an actual house in Taman Tun. Hell, there are plenty of immigrants renting in Taman Tun. I doubt if all of them are legal.......
So, they become legal or illegal immigrants right.......and then, comes the pandemic and boom! We all gotta get vaccinated. But not these motherfuckers. Some are just against vaccinations for whatever reason and others are not even legal so they don't use the MySejahtera app to be held responsible for their movements throughout the country. How do you even track people movement at this point?
If you know someone who is unwilling to get themselves vaccinated but is moving around town liberally, hanging out in cafes and stuff. Or even visiting a homestay in a different state, would it be considered harbouring illegal immigrants? Or is it withholding information for the safety of others?
I don't know at this point..........all I know is that if you visit a foreign country or state, could you please be less of an asshole and get yourself equipped with at least some form of information about the local laws and practises first? I also think it's kind of a global law to know that you gotta put the trash into trash cans no matter where you go. It kinda goes without saying..............
Humans disgust me. They bring nothing but destruction to this world............
