System Breakdown - Traffic Summon

I was a bit naughty last year beating a traffic light and caught on a traffic camera. That was way back in August last year. After that, I was praying that the camera was a dummy and no traffic summon would be issued to me at all.

As times passed, my hope grew till last week after 9 months, I was surprised that the summon dated August '08 finally delivered thru courier together with another offer notice for compound with deadline in November '08 (in ONE envelope ). This is interesting...... How does the system really work???

The summon was only received 9 months later and the authority expected the offender to pay up at the end of November 08 without sending the notice at all until April '09.

Luckily for me, the compound offer was still valid even it has lapsed in November '08 as it was accepted by the payment counter at the traffic dept without a single question asked (believe this is "normal"), and I was pleased that the authority did not ask me to be present at the court for ignoring the summon.

The question is why do we need to have a system when the enforcement does not even follow it themselves to ensure that the system created is to be effective.

How can the enforcer expect the public to follow rules when they themselves are not following rules of their own creation. Do we not feel embarrassed about this? We have to know where we go wrong before we can fix it!!! We need the authority to wake up and wake up fast.

We are already in 21st century with our new PM calling for change and efficient delivery system. Let's support YAB so that our country can really move forward and makes Wawasan 2020 a reality and Malaysia, a fully developed country.

Let's erase this unwelcome theme for good : "1st class infrastructure but 3rd class mentality"!!!

Malaysia Boleh and not Malaysia Apa Pun Boleh!
