A Malaysian man’s Threads post comparing Malaysia’s pedestrian walkways to Singapore’s has sparked a lively national debate online.
A Malaysian man recently suggested that Malaysia can learn a thing or two from Singapore in terms of urban development and management.
Posting on Threads, the man claimed that Singapore’s approach — from managing its airports to maintaining its public parks — is among the examples Malaysia could look to in order to improve the country.
However, one key issue he highlighted was the lack of proper pedestrian walkways in Malaysia, comparing their condition to Singapore’s better-maintained infrastructure.
“But why doesn’t Malaysia want to learn and implement what Singapore has done — providing user-friendly, covered pedestrian walkways that are well connected to various locations?
“How much longer will Malaysia continue to struggle to implement something like this?” he wrote.
In the comments section, the man also suggested that the Malaysian government can start improving pedestrian sidewalks in rural areas then progress to bigger cities.
