Suddenly something came out in my mind when i was in my small little hometown, named Segamat, situated somewhere in the north part of Johor. What made me worried about is the future and the development of my hometown. Many of my friends already went out of this small little hometown to other cities (such as KL, Selangor or urban area) or country (Singapore) to find a living, sadly i'm one of them. Maybe, it could be said that 9 out of 10 people went out of Segamat to find working and career apportunities in other cities.
Through my observation, in Segamat some of the mamak stall or cafe only serve one or two tables of customers, even during weekend! In contrast it is a big difference in KL/PJ where cafe or mamak stall are crowded with people and traffic around the mamak of cafe is horrible. The outflow of population is getting serious where the younger generation refused to stay in Segamat for career development. It could be one of the reason why the KL city is getting more and more crowded and the traffic are getting horrible day after day, regardless of how many flyover and roads being built and expanded, still the traffic jam in KL could not be solved.
Maybe some of my friends really love to stay in Segamat, however the lack the working opportunities or they cant find what they want here have prevented them to stay and work in Segamat.
Segamat is a place where i was born and have stayed here for more than 18 years. I love Segamat and my family especially the peaceful and slow pace of living lifestyle. I just wished that someday in the future, we all the 'segamatian' could contribute something to our little hometown to make it a better place.
every where in the world is the same.. most of the people move to to city .
ReplyDeleteyeah, u are right this is somehow the global trend where ppl tend to move to city to find a living.
