I don't trust police, they are just "licensed" ah beng

Got this letter in Malaysiakini...

Cop breaks the law in broad daylight

Son of a Police | Dec 24, 07 4:34pm

I agree with Sunny Lim's letter Some are indeed above the law. The recent episodes add to the long list of shameful acts by the police. They think, and some honestly believe, they are above the law. On Dec 17 at 8.20 am, I was in the Jalan Duta Court Complex’s canteen. I saw a police corporal smoking and whispering to three civilians. When he walked past me, I told him that this is not the place to smoke. In a rude and arrogant manner, he replied that the sign just says "No smoking" and holding a lit cigarette is not smoking. He then said that he can do anything he likes. I told him, "In that case, why don’t you arrest those really smoking?" He replied that it is not his job. Assuming that it is not the police’s job to do so, where is the enforcement? The government seems not to be serious despite the many "No Smoking" signs put up around the court complex. Due to their indifference, we can see many police officers breaking the law themselves. Indeed, they are above the law. If the police can blatantly and shamefully flout the law in public, how much more can they do to detainees inside the police station?

Honestly speaking, do you really believe in polis? I think only 1% of the force is trustable, the rest of them? They have the "license" to take your money.

Why was I saying that? My friend got framed by police, only to know that all they wanted is $$...

Police to protect us? I have my doubts...

Malay getting more stupid?

I don't know, yesterday when I was reading the news, I saw "Herald might have difficulty in renewing their publication license due to the word 'Allah'". I was like, what the heck!

Today, when I read the news again, I saw this.. quoted from Malaysiakini:

Johari: Only Muslims can use 'Allah'

Soon Li Tsin | Dec 21, 07 5:31pm

The word ‘Allah’ can only be used in the context of Islam and not any other religion, said Deputy Internal Security Minister Johari Baharum.

I was wondering, who the heck is this stupid fler? Who is he that he can dictate what word is for what? So since the word 'Allah' is only for Islam, so, if the word 'God' is being used in their religion in English version, can we tell them straight to their face that 'God' is only for Christianity, and not for Islam?

Sometimes, I don't know what the heck the gomen is doing. Are the Malays so stupid that they can't even differentiate the word?

If a Muslim can't differentiate the meaning of 'Allah' (whether it's Allah for Christianity, or Allah for Islam), then I think there is huge problems in the education system, because a simple word like 'Allah' already can make them fail the test. Shouldn't them focus more on education?

I am so disappointed with the words that's coming out for "their" mouth.. can they even use their brain before they even speak a single word?

Happy Holiday

Today is Thursday. It's a public holiday. Hence, I am starting my holiday on today, all the way till 1st of January. Wow.. I am so excited now. Finally I can rest for good.

Didn't think of getting any order for this month, you know, it's December. Normally the sales for this month would be slow.

Well, nothing much for me to worry about. The only thing that I worried is.. how am I going to spend this holiday? Thailand, maybe? lol..

See you all next year.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Gantry System on highway

The Star Link

Samy: Gantry system by end-2008

PETALING JAYA: The Multi-Lane Free Flow system or gantry system will be implemented by the end of 2008, said Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.

Construction on the RM800mil pilot project is set to begin in March in several hot spots in the Klang Valley to ease the worsening traffic congestion.

The hot spots include the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), Kesas expressway and New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE).

Under the gantry system, motorists need not stop to pay toll at the booths. Deductions would be made automatically from their prepaid toll cards, almost similar to the present Smart TAG system.

“During the preparation period (beginning March), we will focus on a new central clearing house (to monitor the system), changing all equipment and amending laws pertaining to the implementation of the system,” said Samy Vellu.

Speaking to reporters after opening the Business Development Seminar for Micro and Small Businesses here yesterday, he added that it had yet to be determined who would bear the cost of building and implementing the system.

“We will decide on that very soon,” he said.

On increasing road safety, Samy Vellu said that more cameras would be installed along highways using the gantry system to catch traffic offenders, especially those who speed.

“We will have a more comprehensive monitoring system of traffic offenders once more surveillance cameras are used.

“This will help lower the number of accidents and also serve as a deterrent to motorists who want to break the law,” he said.

=============================================

When I read this news, at first, I thought "wow, good news, finally not gonna stuck in traffic jam on the toll booth". Errr.. when I continue reading it, found a sentence "... yet to be determined who would bear the cost of building and implementing the system..."

Well, I know the answer for that.. It's us, the citizen that would bear the cost of building and implementation of the system lor.. SHIT, why would he wants to hide the truth? Please tell me, who else would be bearing the cost?

"You want to use it, you gotta pay for it" is the famous quote from Semi Value. But hey, I was just wondering, for LDP, would it help if this gantry system is implemented? I don't think so, because the jam started before and after the toll, not just before the toll. Geezz.. stupid...
