informal informer

a.k.a makcik2 tren at the kl train stations. E.g:

"He's late again. Heard his head got disconected at the Putra station"

" Yeah he's done it again. He crashed some indonesian woman at the segambut track, and the incoming train picked up the poor lady and send her off straight without stopping to the Bank Negara station, where the 911 waited."

"If he comes on time, I'm sure he'll be able to keep all of us happy."m

Aaaah. They refer to the commuter train, affectionately as 'he'.

I'll get near to them as possible to hear their latest gossip about 'him'.

After all, knowing the reasons for anything would keep most people occupied and, forgiving.
