Saya Anti Rasuah [Tidak]

Listening to...Welcome to the black parade - My Chemical Romance

Really good song huh.

OK...a most interesting happened. So yesterday, for official work reasons, 4 of us trudged along to Taiping. Somewhere around Merang (or was it Berang?), we were pre-warned, there would be a speedtrap, so slow down. But guess what? Haha, yea, my colleague, was caught speeding so we were pulled over. The cop came. Usual la, the whole bribe thing.

Funny thing was, after we gave him the $, he even volunteered to provide extra value added services, telling us further down at which point there would be another trap, so be careful. Haha..what a good police force we have! Now THATS customer service.

Some other funny stories...

- I was stopped and requested for a bribe by a cop wearing a "Saya Anti Rasuah" badge...(might as well have said "Saya Tidak Anti Extra $"
- A colleague said her boyfriend didnt have $ on him when he was stopped, and the cop offered to, and really did, escort him to the ATM.
- Once, when stopped for speeding, I immediately paid up, and the cop, who was impressed by my efficiency and all, even praised me: wah dik, u manyak sporting ah!

In a way, I feel that cops shouldnt be taking bribes for traffic offenses. Seriously. That will just fuck the roads up more. And people shouldnt offer. But when it comes to speeding on a HIGHWAY, like the North South, and when I am caught for 121kph, and also 127kph, I am glad that we have this system for us to escape. Coz otherwise, it would be so unfair - anything below 130kph is really slow on the highway anyway, and I was caught for 121kph! So...for certain instances...bribery really is a good thing.
