CORRUPTION, THE CULPRIT

I just couldn't resist joining other bloggers sharing their views on the issues of fines for various traffic offences in Malaysia.

Its not whether the fines were RM50 or RM200 or RM1000. Its not about how much the fines should be. Its about corruption in the system. Its about a disorganized, chaotic, unsystematic department. Offenders are not fearful of whatever fines, summons and punishment the authorities pronounced on them because the authorities are tardy and ineffective meting out the punishment due to its disorganized characteristics.

I am curious, as a tax payer why were there no plans to improve? I mean all these years?

An offender could still changed the road tax and license without problems.

If a person is penalized for an offence, they could pay their way out by corrupting the officer.

Frequently we read in newspaper headlines that the authorities will be coming hard on offenders and the all out arrest at the homes of offenders. But what happened? Except for a lot of hoo-ha on the first two days of operation to arrest these offenders from their homes, we don't hear of anything else after that.

The problem is people have no more respect for the authorities concerned due to their half past six attitude of carrying out their duties. I am cocksure offenders will actually challenged the authorities to arrest them in their homes knowing very well they will never turned up.

It is a mockery to read about VCD peddlers beating up the authorities, people tearing up their summons or crumble up the summons and throw it away in front of the issuing officer, criminals making claims that they could walk off scot free as long as some form of payment is made etc.

Even my grandfather and grandmother is laughing from their grave!

Our laws are going haywire or what?

Or has corruption elevated to an uncontrollable level causing the people losing respect for the authorities?

I think its time Badawi sit down with all his boys to discuss about how to eliminate corruption totally from the system. There must be a way to do this!

Maybe its time to kneel and ask the Almighty God how?
