What Happened To Overcrowded Malaysia?

Is it just me or has Malaysia lost its sense of traffic jams and overcrowded places?

The roads used to be full of cars to cause a massive traffic jam and now half of the cars are gone. I find myself as if I'm driving in Australia once again. What has happened? Is everyone leaving the country or just too lazy to go out? Gosh this is shocking. In a way it gives me a great sense of relief. Plus, there are more parking spaces at night when I go to eat at the popular SS15 and Taipan? What a relief. Nevertheless, I'm surprised!!! I've only been gone for a year and all these have happened? What's going on?

The shopping malls used to be full of people and now it's as if half of 'em went missing?! What has happened?! It was always busy and people were always rushing everywhere shopping or eating or simply walking?! I'm really shocked to know that they've all went missing?! Once again, it is a relief for me. I dislike overcrowded places, don't you?! Doesn't it give you a headache?! Nevertheless, what's going on?!

I've only been back from Australia for about two weeks now and this is what I see? I can't believe my eyes!!!!

Prove me if I'm wrong at other parts of Malaysia but this is what I see at my side.
