Increasing of Public Transportation Fees

The issue of increasing a lot of public transportation is making citizens delirious, also the amount is increasing by 58%.

I also heard that students get 50% from the total that already added from the actual amount and the real price the students have to pay actually also added by 8% from actual price. The amount added is actually pretty higher than before, so isn't it the same if others just drive their own car that more comfortable and faster than ride a public transportation with the same payment that they fill their fuel tank and toll fees.

The government must know that the workers that ride the public transportation is the one that keep in move for Malaysia government, so they must care about them of how they work. 

In my experience, I've ride KTM so many times, until it makes me remember of the amount to make payment. Also, I thought that it was a suitable amount until my station, yet government increase the fees over 50%. What was that?! It doesn't make sense. For example, RM22 becoming RM50 and it wasn't price from KTM, that was the price from other public transportation

Can't government consider it back to increase it until over 50% ????

Vaping in Johor

Nov 29, The Sultan of Johor ordered a ban on vaping in the state and giving owners of vape outlets a month's deadline to close down. For me, it was such a great news to hear that since the smoke a bad for others even the smell has a nice flavour. haha >o<  

There was a group, Malaysia E-Vaporizer and Tobacco Alternative Association (Mevta), who wants to clear the misconceptions about e-cigarettes or vaping before imposing a ban. Also, they said, 
"We are proud of our multi-ethnic association that spans across all ethinicities in Malaysia and they has always respected the laws of this country, whether at state or Federal level, and is always open for all forms of cooperation, dialogue, and consultation with authoritative bodies be it with Istana, Federal or State governments. "
 I don't know why they state that they respected the law even vaping is not in the regulation. It just that Sultan Johor cared about his citizens and I don't see any wrong with banned vaping in line with that reason.

On December, 2, Sultan Johor already announce the banned on vaping in Johor. Are they know about the effect on vaping even good or bad side? because I think that it still similar with cigarettes, the using of chemical and the difference is the smell. In addition, the vaping smoke is thicker than standard cigarettes. So I think that was a good decision to banned the vaping, but why don't he also banned cigarettes? I was hoping that there will be a state that will banned both vaping and cigarettes.
