The "KELUAR" Sign

Malaysia is a prosperous country.
Whether you like it or not, or have any comments on how it’s being run, we cannot deny we actually have some of the most spectacular & interesting feats of architectural achievements.

One of the reasons for this is the regulatory enforcement requirements.

And I believe nothing illuminates in the most conspicuous way than a fixture which is compulsory: The “KELUAR” sign.


The “exit” sign is a must in all commercial venues.
It is powered by its own self-sustaining power source.
It is meant to save lives.


If only in life we can just “up & go”, then follow the sign which reads KELUAR…


It may sound as though it is being used as an excuse to run away from certain things.
But when the fire draws near, it may the only chance to ever survive that ordeal.

How is it an option?
Would the mere thought of self-preservation mean that the person thinking of fleeing is a selfish person?
Don’t he / she have the right to live?


I can see the KELUAR sign.
It’s been there all this while.
It’s just had a bulb changed.

And I am glad that even during a black-out, the battery has not run out.
Chances are one I am out; I would not look back ever again…
