Looks of Our Country. Salute Please.. Be Grateful About It.

On Friday, last 2 days, Tee Siang, Hon Wai and I went to Subang together by car. Tee Siang was the driver while I was the director as I know the way better. He was driving carefully all along. There were many lorries and as a result most of the light vehicles were on the right lane, so were we. After we past one of the traffic lights, there was road block. Some of the cars in front of us were being asked to pull over while we were let go until we came to the last officer which is in Sarjan rank. We were accused of bypassing vehicles using left lane. We were so confused as he kept saying "You potong lane". We were on the right lane all the time, how could we be bypassing vehicles using left lane? We only moved to the left lane when we thought one of the officers asked us to go to that lane. 4 out of 5 officers let us go. But the last ask us to pull over. Does it mean that the other 4 are blind that they didn't see us bypassing vehicles by left lane or what?

He took the driving license and start recording what he has to record. We waited for more than 15 minutes as we tried to be sure of what we have prosecuted. While he was doing the explanation which none of them are useful, he asked another car to pull over. A Honda City was pulled off and was allowed to go in less than 10 seconds. Do you think recording driver and car details only take few seconds? I didn't even see the Honda driver taking out his license. You know what it means. Maybe the officer know that the driver has extra coffee so he asked the driver to give him some. Or simply because he ordered some coffee and the driver was there to deliver. Well, this happens all the time. The officers are working hard under the hot sun. We should treat them some coffee as an appreciation for their hardwork. They deserve it.

We were simply accused of commiting a fault that we ourselves don't know. He told us that if we don't admit that we are wrong, it is ok, don't pay for the penalty. There was a section where the driver has to sign as a declaration that he has prosecuted the fault. He strongly opposed to sign, which is a right thing to do. He didn't do anything wrong, he don't have to sign. Without any further conversation. We were allowed to leave. I think there is something wrong with the sarjan's eyes. Or he was just very thirsty. If thats the case, sorry, we couldn't help.

Another story of our 'respective' law enforcement officer happened on the same day.

At night, I went to KL for dinner. KL that time was very very jam as a result of in-operatable traffic lights. 2 traffic police officers, with their Honda motorcycle parked in the middle of the road, was directing the traffic. Most of the times, the presence of these officers means worse condition. The condition would'nt be as worse as after they showed up. You will get what I mean after I tell you the whole story.

Vehicles from other lanes were directed to move until the road became loose, while only 4 to 6 cars from our lane are directed to move. See? Out of 4 lanes, more than half the number of vehicles from the other 3 lanes were directed to move. Only 4 to 6 vehicles from our lane were allowed to move. They have been doing this the whole night. No wonder it was so jammed.

The most interesting part is. Both of them ran away in the middle of their operation. Leaving the screwed up condition of the road behind. Traffic lights weren't back to normal at all and they left. After they flee away, car started to move on their own. Traffic started to flow smoothly like it is supposed to.

From this incident, I can say that our law inforcement buddies are so 'responsible'. They messed up and they left. So what are they hired for? To mess things up? We pay them for that? They use our money to buy a Honda motorcycle for them to look cool?

This is how our country is being run. This is how our country grows. Slowly and steadily. "Malaysia Boleh!" Definately can.
