I can’t understand Malaysian teenagers sometimes who like to put their cars in workshops to make unnecessary modification. Two friends of mine from New Zealand asked me why most cars in Malaysia have had their exhaust pipes modified, even though the cars themselves are old.I find it hard to comprehend too. As far as I am concerned, Asians easily feel inferior and they tend to find ways to fulfill their self-esteem. Even though they can’t afford to purchase their own sport cars with good horse powers, they still feel like having one. So, they modify the exhaust pipes to create the sound of a sports car that attracts attention when cruising down the road. Legally speaking, car modifications are subject to JPJ approval but I believe JPJ does not have any control over car exhaust pipes long as the noise does not disturb others. My friends find this a very funny and interesting occurrence in Malaysia. According to him, New Zealanders don’t modify their cars in such a way; they either purchase a new car that comes along with the modifications or leave the car as it was originally. Human-beings are sometimes difficult to comprehend…...
