Motor Bikes and Status

In Penang, more people use the bikes compared to that of Kuala Lumpur and Kuching. At the Komtar Car Park, I was able to see this characteristic. Penang people are more realistic, thrifty and perhaps poorer compared to other Cities.
In KL and Kuching, people are concerned with the status and perhaps safety, and they borrowed money to buy cars, ending up many became bankrupts and full of worries.
Sarikei people also use a lot of bikes and cars are used only during raining time, necessity and long distance travel. These people always end up free of debts and happy!
