KUALA LUMPUR: Hip-hop music producer DJ Fuzz is a big fan of Japan, because its people are known to be disciplined and civic-conscious at all times.
Back from a recent holiday in the country, Fuzz whose real name is Farzwa De-Attaher Emir took to Instagram yesterday to express his awe on the civic-consciousness shown by the Japanese.
The 42-year-old musician said that commuters on light rail transit (LRT) trains in the Japanese capital of Tokyo sat quietly in their seats and did not fiddle with their handphones until they reached their destinations.
“People in Japan don't click at social media and neither do they play online games or listen to online music.
“In fact they don't like it if others talk or listen to music on their phones while on public transport. They feel that if one person plays a song, others will start to play other songs, and they'll end up interrupting one another."
Fuzz added that the Japanese valued respect for one another and would go all out to make sure that those on the same train do not get irritated by their actions.
“And their toilets are super clean, even public toilets. They're as good as new."
Fuzz also said that the Japanese were among the most punctual people he had met.
All meetings took place on time, and late-comers were not allowed to attend them.
“Discipline and civic consciousness is synonymous with their culture. They're a great role model country for all of us."
He said that travelling to foreign countries for holidays would help open one’s eyes and allow one to adopt the good habits of all nations, and emulate them back home.
