Keretapi Sarong 2024 – Calling for Cities Around the World

This annual event is where people, anyone and everyone, come together on the public transport and wear sarong in any style they want. Modeled after No Pants Subway where they wore everything but pants, ours is where you put on everything AND a sarong!

**Announcement. Secret is out. Meeting points for #KeretapiSarong KL 3pm 26 April: Bangsar LRT & Dang Wangi LRT station. SPREAD THE WORD!**

To have an idea, check out RA’s YouTube and also Facebook for some pictures and videos from the last two years.

We’d like to invite you regardless of where you are to take part as well. Scroll down for the list of cities already on board.

If you’re interested to set up your local Keretapi Sarong chapter, then get in touch with us via FB. Here are some steps that you can begin taking already.

  1. Find some friends who’s as fun as you are who’ll want to take part.  There’s no minimum or maximum. Last year Mansourah, Egypt did it with about 6 awesome people.
  2. Plan a date, time and location you want this to take place. Keep in mind it need not necessarily be on a train (though that is preferable). We’ve got the Ohio contingent doing it on a bus.
  3. Let us know the details and we’ll create an Event for you on FB that you can Share with your friends and family.

Feel free to PM us here. We’ll help you make your local chapter happen! If you need sarongs, then let us know, we’ll try our level best to…maybe send you some?? 🙂 Apa lagi? Jom bersarong!

Escalator Police: A Documentary On the Left Side

There are many things about our country that we complain about, and most of these things are out of our immediate control. But what about the things that are? Simple things like holding the door open for the person behind us, not littering in public areas, or even standing on the left while riding the escalator (so as not to obstruct walking traffic).

Whether or not you choose to dedicate your entire life to teaching these simple things, or just practising it whenever you can, is equally important in enacting a positive change within our country. That was what we were inspired to achieve through this video project while having a little fun with it. This ‘documentary’ was made to highlight some of the things we Malaysians are often ignorant of without being too overly PSA-ish.

It was a fun two day shoot in making this video project happen with the many people behind them. A big thank you to Rapid KL for allowing us to shoot the video at their numerous LRT stations and BAC College for allowing us into their classrooms. Not to forget the many hearts, hands and minds behind the production of Escalator Police – A Documentary On the Left Side.

Thanks for watching.

Selamat berpuasa, selamat berbuka, selamat berPARAM

RandomAlphabets is back with ParamKL 2023! In this latest edition, we’ve teamed up with the boys in red, FriedChillies.com, to expand our reach to TEN Params this year. We’re bringing tupperware to more and more people (about 2000 more by last count!)

So far we’ve been to Bangsar Telawi (where Marina Mahathir, Ella and Chef Wan gave us their thumbs-up) and Setiawangsa Param. We’ve been interviewed by Malaysia Tourism TV and Astro Awani, and handed out about 400 tupperwares to Param aficionados of all shapes, sizes and appetites. Check out the poster to see where we’ll be next, and come by and say hi!

We’ve stuck to our goal of reducing wastage of plastic bags and wastage of food at Params. With our new and improved compartmentalised tupperware sponsored by FriedChillies.com, we’re trying to make a difference in terms of how people treat plastic.

A RA tupperware is not just for Ramadhan, it’s for life!
