Really pissed me off.
8 Sept 2009
We’re driving our car from Ipoh back to Penang and looks like as the day before, there’s “operasi” for speed trap at Taiping, both way (to north and to south). It’s pretty common for speed trap at Ipoh. So since we’re good citizen 
, we don’t exceed the speed limit which is 110.
But!! We were asked to stop by the side at the road block, and here comes the “drama”!
In disbelieve, we wind down our car window and here come the police officer, telling us that they’re doing operasi there because at Kuala Kangsar there’s death cases, and we’re over the limit “123″!! (Nice number, isn’t it?). He kept telling us our picture is very nice and if we want, we can take a look at Kuala Kangsar. Ok, we accepted the “faith” and thought this time sure RM300 fly away already lo. But!! he then say, “RM300, boleh bayar mana mana, macam mana, nak saman? mau tolong?!” (let me translate, “RM300, can pay at anywhere, How, wan summon, or wan help?”). What the heck! Then I knew already, it’s near to their Raya and they want coffee $$. We straight away say “NO, give me saman!”. He then take a look at the driving license and pretend writing things down and he say “ok, we’ll post!”. Another weird part, if they already stopped our car at the road block, they’ll give us summon on the spot already (Malaysian Style). But, this one he say he’ll post and asked us to leave. So, this is very obvious! They just want to get coffee $$ from us! Really what the heck~!!
I already have a bad impression when I come back here, and with this thing happened, it’s giving me even bad and unforgettable memory!!
Another thing is H1N1. When I back this week, no health declaration or anything is needed! I thought things are worst the weeks before I came back, and suddenly looks like even the least effort of health declaration is not needed to be filled up. And what are they doing to prevent it?! I really no idea. When I have my transit in Hong Kong, for those going out to Hong Kong, they still need to fill up the health declaration form. I agree that health declaration form doesn’t serve a BIG purpose in H1N1 prevention, but it’s a very small effort or least time consuming process. If there’s cases of H1N1 detected due to someone just back from some flights, you can at least used this to track down the possible infected people or informed them of the possibility of them getting infected and warn them to stay 7 days in quarantine themselves.
That’s why when I’m here, I’m more worried. People wear masks are pretty common here, which is expected.
With their work “efficiency”, I think it’s better you take care yourself is more effective.
