Roads and Highways signboards in Malaysia, Complicated Puzzles

By signs people started to communicate from long ago. As we go further, we expect to have a better and less complicated life wherever we live. Unfortunately, in Malaysia the highways and roads signs are so complicated. Nowadays, the majority of countries all around the world have their signboards in two languages. English is almost common language they use as one of the languages. In Malaysia, all signboards are written only in their Malay language which makes it really difficult for foreigners and tourists to find their way easily. A signboard with lots of information not even helps you to find your way also it distracts your attention to your way while driving. The exit signboards are located almost 10 mtr before the exits which makes it very difficult for drivers to get into their desired exits and directions. And missing such exits pushes you to drive a long way to find another way back to your way. As you drive in the highways and roads, you may see your address in the first signboard but as you go further with wonder you find out that your address is disappeared from the next signboard. Suddenly you will find yourself spinning around yourself to find another signboard stating your desired address. Moreover, you never know if there is a U-turn ahead. Most of the times, you will be confused about going over the bridge for U-turn or just go under the bridge??
These are the main concerns of all residence in Malaysia. Many people have complained before and still there are more to complain. It is our responsibility to say it over and over again, hoping for a change. We look forward for a day that government takes a serious action about this important issue.
