What Malaysians can also do about their pothole-riddled roads …
Malaysian roads are “famous” for its potholes, especially in the rural areas.

But there have also been instances in urban cities of potholes claiming human lives.

Perhaps frustrated rate payers and taxpayers can resort to what a frustrated Thai woman did to attract attention from her government.

This was what she did as reported by Coconuts Media:





Thai woman takes bath in pothole to protest bad condition of her hometown’s roads (PHOTOS)
A picture of a woman bathing in a man-sized pothole in the middle of the road in Tak province went viral this week. Apparently, her natural mud bath was for a good cause.The woman, who Sanook reported to be a 25-year-old model named “Palm,” decided to take a protest bath after having enough of the condition of her hometown’s roads in Mae Ramat district.




Palm, who works in Bangkok, said that she comes home often to visit family and has to drive through these potholes.At first, she planned on showing the pictures only to her friends as a joke and didn’t plan to release the photos to the public.

However, now that they’re out there, Palm hopes that they’ll get the attention of the government agencies that can fix the roads.

According to Palm, there are more than a 100 households in her district that require using this route and it would help them a lot if they were fixed.
