At a toll booth, both lanes had height bars clearly labeled "2.1 meters," yet it was obvious to the naked eye that the heights were quite different. Netizens couldn't help but joke: Is buying a tape measure that expensive? Or do different suppliers have different concepts of height?
Netizen @Edmund Lai uploaded two photos in a Facebook group. The first shows two height bars on the same lane, the taller one marked as 2.1 meters. In another photo, you can see the adjacent lane, where the left and right height bars are clearly at different heights, but both read "2.1 meters," leaving people truly puzzled as to which one is "2.1 meters."
This post sparked a lively discussion among netizens. One joked that maybe one was measured from sea level while the other was measured from the road surface, which is why the two "2.1 meters" are not the same.
Another netizen shared his experience, stating that he drove his 4WD vehicle loaded with a long ladder. He was able to pass through the toll booth height bar to enter the New Klang Valley Expressway, but when entering the Shah Alam Expressway toll booth, he directly hit and broke the height bar, resulting in a 200-ringgit fine.
