Duit Kopi...jangan...

WARNING : DON'T OFFER DUIT KOPI FROM NOW ON!

DEAR FRIENDS

If you have ever paid or are thinking of paying ' Coffee Money' when

stopped for traffic or other offences, DON'T EVER Do This Again.

The traffic department (JPJ) has recently started a campaign to be rid

of

corruption. Every Officer on duty will be rewarded with RM100.00 if

they

report each case of bribery to the department.

This is how they do (trick you into) it. They will note down the

details

of your IC/MyKad, and ask you how you want to settle ( 'Macam mana nak

selesai?')

If you indicate yes or even offer to give them any money, they will

report the incident by rejecting your 'Kopi Money' and get the

RM100.00

instead as an incentive for their integrity and 'Honest' pubicity.

This means that You will end up having a summon issued to you and

perhaps

a charge for bribery.

SO DON'T PAY DUIT KOPI AGAIN , especially if you hope to go free with

a

lesser amount of money compared to the fine. Even if you want to pay

over

RM200, the JPJ Officers would rather have a 'good' name than to take

your

kopi money.

Just beware of their trick because the cops are now accumulating

'cookies'

points for their promotion and pay increment - with your help if

possible.

They should have done this to stop corruption long time ago... but

anyway

it's better late than never, right?

SPREAD THIS MESSAGE TO EDUCATE OTHERS ON THIS NEW ANTI-RASUAH POLICY!

AND DON'T YOU DARE TO CORRUPT ANY JPJ OR EVEN POLICE OFFICERS AGAIN!

Another forwarded email sent to me. Quite honestly? I don't know whether to laugh or to frown. Before the whole OPS Pembersihan kao-kao was done with 'eyebrow raising' cynicism (Go catch the bigger fish, some say!), I had my fair share of being cornered to settle my 'defying traffic predicament(s)', the other, simpler, cheaper (crooked?) way.

Yet, much to the chagrin of the officers in charge, I NEVER gave in. Playing the bimbo had its perks. They usually were to lazy to issue me a summon in the end. And even if they did, I would rather pay RM300 than to offer duit kopi (normally RM30 - 100). "Its a win-win situation menace", some argue with me. I stand my ground. No.

And now...if what this email states is true -- they are trying that tactic only to grab brownie points AND moolah?

Tsk...tsk... tsk...

It's like the political wave we are forced to wade or to stay a float with.

Stop it lah... we just want to move on with our lives; just deliver what you promised, look at the bigger picture and for heavens sake, stop all that bickering amongst you! Geez...life is so much easier when there is no power hungry twats out there...(snap fingers)....Grow UP! Can or not?
