Concentration? More like a distraction...

It seems that the Traffic Department of Malaysia has once again proved itself worthy of the title "n00b"...

Sometimes when I pass along an Electronic Traffic Infromation Board ( I made this name up as I don't know the exact name for it, and it's the new toy for Malaysian traffic, a gadget just to inform about the crappy traffic jams in Kuala Lumpur), I will find this message posted on it...

"Sila tumpukan perhatian and kepada pemanduan"

it's in Malay, the official language here and when translated, it becomes...

"Please concentrate on your driving"

Now, how are the drivers gonna concentrate on their driving when they have to be distracted to read this crappy message ? It sounds more like a mere joke then a propaganda message...(which in turn becomes a distraction because the drivers are going to laugh on the spot... and accidents happen, you know...)
