Tok Guru's Official Car

Salam...

When in KB, I can't say for the whole of Kelantan, one noticeable thing is the taxi. Most taxi models are the old Mercedes model. Maybe if these taxis were driven in the olden days, one would consider you to be in the upper echelons of society.

A family friend say, these drivers, usually as old as the cars themselves, will defend that they are always right if they bump into you from the back.

Surely, if they are allowed to operate, they are certified road worthy by the JPJ. But, do not be worried, you won't see this waiting for you at the airport.

Then, since this state is bordering southern Thailand, thus this view is quite common.

Logically, Indonesian and Bruneian registered vehicles are frequently seen in Kuching and other parts of Sarawak and Sabah. Generally, Bruneian registered cars are... shall I say, comparatively not cheap in the Malaysian markets. Such example, the Jaguar.

This is something rare to be seen, at least fo me. It's the official car for Tok Guru, with the registration number DAB80 and writen in Jawi, Menteri Besar Kelantan on it.

Being a leader with the rakyat at heart, I heard that he frequently commute using his proton saga. A humble man he is.

Whatever it is, a car still serves it purpose, to bring you to your destination. You still get to Pasar Siti Khadijah, or to Satok Market, to do your groceries, whether in a BMW or a Kancil.

Of course, if one can afford, its human nature to choose something luxurious. If you can't, just stick to the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.

Wassalam.
