it's definately the same spot on the two pictures, but probably, the 1st picture looks like the bustop is new, the paint markings on the road is fresh and the phone booth looks kinda old (blue one)..
the 2nd picture looks like the road has taken some toll to it. the markings are faded and black.. and there's a New phont booth (red color)...
so my take is that the bus company took down the old bustop and is going to build a new one there...
lol

seems like a bit of a hoax... for all you know this could be one of those pictures that the before and after pictures got switched? i don't see the markings on the ground that well cause the picture is too small
Malaysia, truely Asia! lol.
Is the thread starter going to answer Mr.Soft?.
Yup I noticed it. What's wrong with that?.
Before picture -> No phone booth
After picture -> New phone booth
I guess the busstop was stolen after the phone booth was installed?
James et al:
Yes, this is a legitimate news item from The Star (Malaysia) newspaper (published yesterday).
As Suren pointed out the same photos are in the Today Weekend's news article (published today).
I believe the 1st photo was taken by the company when the bus stop was first constructed, and the 2nd one was taken within the past week when the bus stops were discovered as being AWOL (hence the road markings are worn, and a new telephone booth has been added).
What really surprised me is that this particular (and maybe the other 3 as well?) bus stop is in the city centre and not at some lonely stretch of road. Very daring! Probably people thought the thieves were legitimate workers. For all you know, all you have to do is to drive some Blangladeshi workers around in a lorry and ask them to cut-and-cart one bus stop after another. They wouldn't even know they are committing a crime!
