Traffic Jam - Motion of No Confidence - Today

This morning, there were roadblocks on all major road leading to Kuala Lumpur. The roadblocks started yesterday, and continued on until today.

Traffic was crawling, bumper to bumper, fuel burning, drivers honking, temper flaring, and as a result, my money flying to buy fuel. That was what happened on my way to Mid Valley Megamall yesterday. It was just chaos, police set up roadblocks everywhere. Stupid police! They reduced a four lanes highway into one. I refueled and faced yet again with another traffic jam, on another highway. Bloody hell.

Having lost count on the number of curses i made, every fucking derogatory words I can think of, in english, a little chinese "tiu" "mah hai", and some Kadazan dusun "kimbets" and malay.

Why? why? You know whenever there's a possible plan for opposition gathering, the police will be there manning the highway, like they don't have any other jobs to do. Better still, if the police are to be stationed in every bank, goldsmith and ATM in this country.

Nowadays, a lot of robbery cases happened in public. Even last night, I think a goldsmith had been robbed, somewhere in the city center. I would be glad if police are present when i withdraw money from the ATM or when i go to the bank to deposit a cheque.

I couldn't help but feel the strange inexplicable fear that something is going to happen whenever I am in a bank. A bank robbery, being shot dead, or wounded by stray bullets. Pheww... Too much hollywood Movie?

Yes it could happen to me, to you and to everybody else. Too much hollywood movie doesn't help. You cannot jump, grab the robber handgun, slides and shoots like Arnold Schwarznegger. No, don't do that please. Also, it could happen that when you double park in front of a bank, the robbers while trying to flee, may get into your car and drive off with you as a hostage.

The eery feeling is even more amplified when there's a cash delivering routine in the bank. You know those "Securicor van", carrying millions, usually guarded by a frail looking "pakcik" with even more sore looking pumpgun. I wonder how that pumpgun attached to a "pakcik" can match an automatic M-16 rifle. I would avoid that as much as possible, that is a prime time for robbers to strike. I wouldn't enter a bank when there's a cash delivery van parked in front.

The roadblocks were carried out in response to a possible no confidence motion to be moved against the Prime Minister today. It's rumored that a large gathering is to be held around the Parliament building. As a result, the public are also barred from entering the parliament building.

I said what the fuck! By right, gathering and demonstrations should be allowed to let the people air their grievances. Also, it's deja vu. It happened before. In the HINDRAF (Hindu Rights Action Force) rally, and BERSIH (coalition of Malaysian opposition political parties and NGO's with the stated aim of reforming the electoral process in Malaysia).

During the two demonstrations, the police did the same shit. They set up roadblocks. Bloody inconveniences to the Rakyat. You know lah, traffic jam and all. But still the demonstrations went ahead, contrary to what the government wanted to curb, the demonstrations proved successful and until today carried with it an even greater momentum. HINDRAF and BERSIH are the turning points in Malaysia politics, without them, I think Pakatan Rakyat would not be as successful as they are today.

Still the police don't realize it, what they are doing are causing many miseries to us Road Users. By setting up roadblocks and causing traffic jam, our anger towards the government is getting stronger, they are adding salt to the wound. It makes me more all the more influenced to join the rally in protest of what the government is doing.

Just look at the picture above, look at the policemen, they did nothing in the roadblocks. Absolutely nothing, except reducing the lanes to one, stood there and staring emptily at the passing cars. I bet the policemen didn't even know what they were supposed to do.

The policemen didn't event look inside my car. They wouldn't even notice if were to carry a Bazooka in my backseat. Maybe they were just silently complaining of having to endure the heat and the curses hurled at them by the public. And I saw three policemen and one policewoman chatting and laughing in the Sprint Highway roadblock. Fucking moron!

Oopps, I partially retract my words! The policemen are not all morons, they are not to be blamed entirely, I can understand their predicament, I thoroughly empathize with them. As a government servants, they have to follow order. Otherwise they will be fucked nicely.

The so called order must surely came from the paranoid government, the government is controlled by Barisan Nasional, and Barisan Nasional is controlled by UMNO.
