A netizen has claimed that Malaysian bike-sharers have more class than the Singapore riders for taking better care of their shared bicycles. The netizen shared a couple of pictures from the Bukit Bintang area in Kuala Lumpur which showed the bikes parked neatly in a bike sharing facility.
Who say Singapore first class country. Bukit bintang KL more neat and class with bike sharing facilities. No scattered and throw anywhere. All clustered together.

He said that the bikes were not parked errantly like in Singapore. Local social media users had in the past shared videos and photos of how some of these bikes are parked, in a disorderly manner, in Singapore.
YOG commemorative park now turned into bicycle dumping ground 😡Hey oBike Singapore, ofo Singapore Mobike Singapore, when did you guys turn the Youth Olympic Park into a designated bicycle parking area?

In October last year, local shared-bike app developers like Mobike, ofo and oBike said they would start using geofencing techniques to combat errant bike-parking by the end of last year.
Yes I agree
because more than half of singapore population are not singaporean 🙂
It’s true , I can bet most of the users are not local
Even so I do see Singaporeans parking not properly though. Not always because of foreigners
Not only that, some users wasn’t being disciplined at young.
So true, I saw most are not Singaporeans.
Ong Jia Cheng, I think what they are trying to say is, not that Singaporean do not use the bicycles but majority of the users are foreigners, the only reason I can think of is, majority of the Singaporean are too lazy to cycle under the hot sun, they prefer to take public transport. ☺️
Ong Jia Cheng Maybe this is because of the design of the parking area. More important is that they are many instances where the users take bikes home for their personal use.
This kiasu attitude will, in, no time, force the operator out of business and then everybody should be very happy.
I have seen many bicycles at the void decks and in the park without the seats!
Wong Ah Hock Not really. As far as I see, besides selective areas like Tuas or Changi East or Senoko (industrial areas), most people are Singaporeans. Even foreigners park their bikes more properly than us…
Very true. We can’t deny that
Netizen should move to Malaysia and never visit or live in Singapore if he is so petty about “bicycles”
Some people have the money but no class
And it’s true,, so buck up Singapore
Yup SINKIES sucks!! Bad attitudes. Am ashamed!
Undoubtedly true! Witnessed so
Many seats of shares bikes been taken out for personal selfish reasons and dumped the shared bikes along highways at drains and you guys must have seen the couples throwing the shared bikes into the drain posted recently! Utterly hopeless behaviour!!!
Listen
Nobody uses them in KL.
Only place is inner inner KL city.
Anywhere outside its car or motor.
Cycles are just too dangerous anyways.
Agree, beside safety reason, cars n motorbikes are so affordable in Malaysia.
Yes.
Pay RM3k and you get a motorbike that you can use for at least 10yrs
Aiyah..photo taking time put nice nice. After that same lah… If not worse.. My opinion only.. hehe
This I totally agree! Having witnessed it while living in KL for 3 months
Eh… But most of the users here are foreigners leh.
Correct ma
Very true
Since there bitching going around, ok let’s shall we? Whatever it is our $Sing is 3X bigger than your Ringgit dah!!!
Dropped liao 2.9 or smthg hehe.
Lol you forgot the many bikes that were brought back home. GPS and locks removed. Go check it out
Cant say he is wrong
Bikes are parked neatly in SG as well when the bike company resupplies a location.
It’s mostly foreigners who use the bikes here. In Malaysia, it would seem like they got more class as their bikes are properly placed but that’s because their roads have potholes everywhere, can’t even cycle safely so actually nobody is using the rental bikes lah!
in malaysia everyone has a car la !!
Do you have to be so frank?
Malaysians are also friendlier than most Singaporeans, in my personal opinion
It depends on how we are brought up…in my opinion. Could be wrong.
Hamirudin hmm I think so too. Singaporeans were brought up in a crowded and fast paced environment, while Malaysians were brought up in a less crowded, slower paced environment
True.Too fast. And many are not able to cope with it.
These bikes are a bad idea. It looks bad seeing them all over the place…. Trashy!
next time tell these malaysians to wear their ic on their chest….so we know its them lor
Those parked neatly done by bike company. You think users will park like that? Never mind sg or msia….wait long long….
Once again great fucking article XDXD wtf
These days when you talk about singaporeans, there are those true blue and those newly tagged on
True blue Singaporeans are those born and breed here… Should I say that?
And newly tagged are those foreign influx?
That is because Malaysia has less Chinese PRC there.
Ini Semua POYOoooooooooooooo
Honestly, I prefer all these shared bicycles startup shift to Malaysia, they have a bigger n more civilized market, according to this netizen.
This one i agree.
Nobody rides the bikes so what you see in the picture is a parked bike from day 1 till now
Is it too expensive to rent it?
Many people have their own vehicles to get around over there.
I wish there is shared bycicle service here in Tokyo..
Do they have a foreigner driving around to collect discarded bike for free too? LOL
Ok lor. So don’t come here lor
Why u want to compare.
U know Singapore more atas. U want to boost up your confidence ar.
I don’t believe it, I think the rest of the world has better class then Singapore, not just Malaysia.
Because Malaysians damned lawa what.
http://says.com/my/news/obike-bicycles-found-damaged-parts-stolen-dumped-in-water-like-rubbish-klang-valley
I rest my case.
True. They have more class in many ways. Stealing lunches. Breaking up families. Outwitting the PAP Govt. Swee boh?
Most users are foreign workers. They dump the bikes every where. They think Singapore is their backyards. It is time that Land Transport Authority & NEA do their works.
In Malaysia there are more Hongkee and Taiwanese Malaysians and more to come
Peter Chua is right man!
Singaporean as usual, live in denial mode
Like Malaysia so much , surrender your citizenship and go migrate to Malaysia then
Besides , who wanna ride a freaking bike when cars are much cheaper there ?
Cause singapore is hell
Wah parked so neat. I think no one is even using them at all. They rather use their motor bike (kapchai) and also most user in Sg are non local.
ouch … that hurts deep
I think we don’t protect our own bad behaviors of irresponsibility. It is fact that we Singaporean has this bad habits of selfishness. You can really see all type of bicycles being thrown around bus stops, HDB blocks, even nearby private condos. Accept our mistakes and try to learn from it.. But very doubtful we’ll change as most of today’s youngsters are being brought up just like this. Let those who throw the bicycle anyhow read this and try to change their attitudes.
if you use e bike in Malaysia .you may get robber anytime . and for lady u may get rage ,,
Malaysian 95% got cars, motor….who want to ride around use bicycle..
who says we have class to begin with! just look at those who so call drive expensive cars. alor of them have this “bang me if you dare” attitude. don’t signal, abrupt lane change etc…
Bicycle parking as a yardstick for class grading..
Instead of giving excuses for the lack of class amongst singaporeans, perhaps we can strive to do better? It really does not matter if Malaysians have more class or less. It matters that we have no class.
That’s because nobody uses them.
Ang Siao Yin lol!
I agree
True that there are more foreigners using bike sharing. Park here and there irresponsibly. Unlike our own locals, singaporeans who were caught destroying the bikes and local couple who were caught and stomped for throwing the bikes in the drainage longkang. I agree foreigners who parked and threw on the ground are much worse
Many here have less common sense to act in s good manner. We see this in bike rentals, car parks, roads n hawker centres Etc etc. The misacts are family driven values that were misadopted from western values n self importance shown by the elites n ruling class.
Yes most sporean abide the laws!
The bikes are parked there most of the times.
Owning a motor vehicles is very cheap in Malaysia that you don’t need a bicycle.
So you see , they are there everyday in the same manner as nobody use it.
