Bus Ticket Back for Hari Raya

Student : "Cikgu, have you bought your 'balik kampung' bus ticket?"

Cikgu: "No. There is still time."

Student: "Cikgu better buy now because I heard all the bus tickets to north and south has sold out."

Cikgu: "How could that be? It still 3 weeks to Raya. Normally they have extra buses for festive seasons. This year will be the same."

Student: "This year ticket prices is officially 30% above the normal price but my friend was charged 100% more as there are no more tickets available."

Cikgu: "Every year its the same. The government say there are ample buses and bus operators are not allowed to raised prices. However certain culprit will increase their fares in the black market. If only the police will spend less time doing escort duties to VIPs and more times catching these black marketers."

Student: "I think the JPJ should also do their duties. I don't see them catching those illigel ticket sellers."

Cikgu: "Well, if I can't get any bus tickets, I will just spend my Raya in Klang Valley this year. Only that the festivities is much less. No Raya songs and open houses. "
