Cemerlang, Gemilang, Temberang!!!
Check out Malaysianbar. Our Prime Minister has got 10 traffic summons. Now, this is no big deal. We all got summons for various traffic offences. Then we go all teary eyes and plead for a discount. Pay the discounted sum and merrily drive away to commit yet another offence.
Pak Lah, who was unaware of the summonses issued under his name, said he would settle all the summonses totalling RM3,300 after he was informed about it by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan and after several Chinese newspapers reported the matter Saturday.
Was he driving the cars at the time of the offences were made? (Or was it his drivers that are to be blamed for this embarrasing situation.) I presume these drivers are not your ordinary Ali, Bala or Chee Bie but members of the POLICE force too, if they are the culprits!
Traffic police have problems sending summons or inform the public that they have summons. How many times have we heard that we have not received any summons through mails but when we check 1 or 2 years later we found that we have committed traffic offenses that we forgot where we committed it. Can’t Pak Lah see that this is one of the biggest inefficiencies for the traffic department? He even have summons dated way back in 2002. Yowzah! I’ve face them myself when I received a summons last week for some speeding offences exactly one year ago. This that what they called themself “‘Cekap, Amanah dan Mesra?” Pui! Pui!
Check out Pak Lah’s summary of offences:

Now the thing that make me tulan is he get maximum 70% discount on most of the summons whereby we (public and boh lui ppl) get only 50%. It is so unfair. Not fair! Not fair! So this is what you called by double standard?

If you are not good in mental calculation, get a calculator and sort out this simple sum. Pak Lah has got maximum of 90% discount for one of his summons. How can!!!!

i’m suprised that the pOh-lice ppl even gave him the tickets! its not like he’s driving the car (u mean with all the official escort that easily could accumulate up to 5 cars in tow together, he still kena saman?) and if he really *yeah, right* does (drive by himself), i doubt there’s any pOh-liceman in malaysia would actually write him a ticket unless the guy really, really, really buta lah. if he’s really that buta then he shouldn’t be working. kan?
which in the end it could only mean one thing… its the spin doctors at works!!!!!
PAH! semua tipu je.
