Saman
So much for the police image in this country. It’s an utter waste of tax payors’ hard earned money to produce button badges stating “SAYA ANTI RASUAH”.
Last Friday, a friend got stopped by the police for using handphone without handsfree. She was observed by a policeman hiding somewhere behind the overhead bridge (this is the standard operating procedure for police in this country to ambush citizens – under the bridge, behind some bushes, behind traffic light, behind trees etc) and then was stopped further in front. When she saw a group of police conducting road block in front, she threw her phone into the front compartment in front of the passenger seat.
Fat Police: Kasi lesen cik… IC….
Friend: Apa salah saya, encik?
Fat Police: Kesalahan cik ialah menggunakan telefon bimbit tanpa handsfree
Friend: takde lah, i tak pakai handphone lah. my handphone ada dalam sana. begitu jauh.macam mana ambik?
Fat Police: tapi kawan I nampak you pakai
Friend: mungkin kawan encik tersilap kot. fikiran saya tengah runsing lah. itu pasal i letak tangan dekat telinga… macam ini. mungkin dia tersilap encik
Fat Police: Yeah kah? Tunggu. I call I punya kawan.
Fat Police: Perempuan… yah….. Wira number plat ABC 1234
Walkie talkie friend: CONFIRM CONFIRM
Fat Police: tengok, kawan sudah confirm. Saya terpaksa bagi saman
Friend: Saya tak bersalah encik. Buat apa bagi saman
Fat Police: Nanti you pergi mahkamah lah
Friend: Mahkamah mana, encik?
Fat Police: Tu.. dekat sana tu… dekat aje
Friend: Pergi mahkamah buat apa?
Fat Police: Pergi sana cakap kat tuan hakim lah.
Friend: Cakap apa tuan? Cakap saya tak bersalah?
Fat Police: @#$%^&*. You pergi mahkamah
Fat Police: You bincang lah dengan hakim
Fat Police: Ok, I bagi you saman
Friend: Saman lah saya. Saya tak bersalah
Fat Police: Kalau saman, RM200 tau.
Friend: Saya tak bersalah, takpe lah
Fat Police: Nanti pergi mahkamah tau
Friend: Saya tak banyak duit lah
Fat Police: *grumble* grumble* Tunggu sini sekejap.
While the Fat Police went to talk to some other stopped cars, the friend quickly take out all her RM50/ RM100 notes and tossed them into the compartments as well and left a few RM10 notes inside her purse.
Friend: Macam mana? Saya ada RM10 saje
Fat Police: RM10 ah? You pergi mahkamah lah itu macam.
Friend: Aiyoh.. betul betul takde duit, encik.
Fat Police: Okay. RM30. Ada?
Friend: Tunggu ya. I cari
The friend was searching all over her car for some money.
Friend: Nah, RM30.
Fat Police: Okay.
Friend: Eh…encik, boleh tolong sikit? Saya sudah takde duit
Friend: Macam mana saya nak beli makanan untuk ayah saya
Fat Police: @#$%^&*. Nah…. Ambik ni…
He threw RM10 back at her.
Fat Police: OKAY???
Friend: Ok ok! Thank you.
Well, we have to give hats off to this particular policeman. At least he’s compassionate enough not to let my friend’s dad go hungry.
