1 Malaysia (by kMuru)
I went through a very instinctive process before taking this photo, almost as if subconsciously I saw this moment in my mind. I guess it was the red colours arranged in a grid and the partial highlights. The focus was the 1Malaysia logo, which is a public relations campaign by the government of Malaysia to foster ethnic harmony and racial unity.
Taxi culture in Malaysia is rather interesting because at one end it has been subject to some intense criticisms off late in regards to fare payments, the rude behaviours of taxi drivers and on the other end, there are pleasant drivers who can seemingly give you a running narrative of the country while swerving through the traffic.
So, when they are not on the job, what do taxi drivers do?
They rest, with the engine off so they don’t waste fuel and with the door open so they don’t get baked in the heat.
They sit around waiting for customers.
Some also check the city scene out, maybe trying to spot some of the latest fashion trends to incorporate onto themselves.
