I thought the same thing when I came to Japan. I thought at least 90% of Japanese smoked, but it's actually a lot less (apparently). Around 40% for men, and less for women. It's just that with little control, cigarette smoke manages to take up just about every little space around it. It only takes one smoker to ruin your meal at a restaurant. Or one guy riding his bicycle and puffing on a fag to annoy everyone he rides past. Here in Japan the smoking regulations are getting more strict, but so far I haven't heard of anyone getting a fine for smoking in a non-smoking area.</p> <p>Check out this site: http://www.who.int/tobacco/communications/events/wntd/en/ AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!</p> Does KL really have a smoking majority?

BN will still win… hopefully the people don’t get punished for going against their “MASTERS”. Who’s the “government servant” in the end?

I am certain I didn’t vote to let somebody else control my life.

At the moment, we must not kid ourself that the opposition parties are big enough to form the government. It is a step by step process which they themselves acknowledge.

The BN politicians keep harping on the oppositions’ limited ambition just to deny 2/3 majority as a sign of weakness.
