Motorcyclists in Malaysia do ride faster off the traffics lights. But the actual numbers are far fewer than Vietnam. 2. The density (per resident) of motorbikes in Vietnamese cities are the highest in the world. Even India and China has less. Tina can attest to that. You can find private lone motorcycle riders offering taxi set services at every corner while in Thailand they are lesser but mostly operated by companies. 3. Organ donation while permissible by the official Muslim authorities in Malaysia, is very low at 0.1% as the majority of riders who are Malay Muslims are reluctant to donate due to many personal and communal reasons. 4. The bigger and more expensive motorcycles in this region are found in Singapore. Happy Ted. 5. In Guangzhou, China bans motorcycles in the inner city. Sorry Ted... Thought you might want to know.
