The Ten Millionth Passenger on the KLIA Express
My friend was on the KLIA Express the other day, coming back from the airport to KL Sentral. The train was packed at mid-morning, something was unusual. My pal and his traveling companion managed to get a seat. Even though the train was already filling up, but the train didn’t budge.
After awhile, my pal found out the reason.
The 10 millionth monorail passenger was somewhere on the train. I’ve been hearing about this on the radio. Apparently the winner will win free airplane tickets to New York or something. So these officials came on and got everyone’s details. They even too a mugshot of everyone holding up their names on a large sign in front of them. Like they do in prison (but without the side profile).
My friend won’t know if he’d won in the prize (results will be announced much later), but he got a cool pen. The organizers are probably going through the photos to pick the hot babes and hunks to appear in the papers as the winners.
Getting just the pen is not as fabulous as flying to New York to see Central Park or the Met, but at least if he needs a pen to sign his credit card slip at the supermarket, he can use his FREE pen.

I took it once, and it was really pleasant. Only downside is if Sentral does not have a train that takes you to the next stop - taxis there are notorious for overcharging. In fact, someone’s just wrote a very angry letter about this to The Star a few days ago!
