“I have been on many modes of transport. I have been on trains, ferries, planes and even double-decker buses. But when I think of my favourite mode of transportation, my mind automatically pictures my bright red skate scooter. I got my skate scooter as a gift on my 11th birthday and I’m still using it until today. Although a skate scooter may be small and not so efficient, it is useful in many other ways. A skate scooter is a smaller version of a motorbike, excluding the engine plus the fancy gears and gadgets. But just like a motorbike, the best feeling is when the wind gushes around your skin. When I’m on my skate scooter, I feel as if the world around me doesn’t exist and it’s just me and my skate scooter.” — Anesha Gnana Kumar, 15, Petaling Jaya
