City Life? City Behaviour?

For those who are/were part of your RA committee, you will definite agree with me with the following human behaviors in a city community:

1. When you ring the door bell, whether to collect security fees, or to give away goodies, people inside the house will look out suspiciously, or send their maid to handle you. Or the best is still they will freeze themselves in the living hall, pretending that no one is at home.

2. If you are organizing a community event, and the event is a festive celebration event or makan event, the participation rate will be over whelming. But when it's a gotong royong event, ha.. ha ..

3. Still on gotong royong, not many people would want to dirty their hands to clean up the community, but won't mind dirty their hands for the free food. The best is still there are shameless people who just come for the food.

Ikut Kiri Jika Tidak Memotong

If you are driving along the new three lanes PLUS highway, you will notice the following drivers' behavior:

1. "Ikut Tengah Jika Tidak Memotong" - Keep Middle Lane Unless Overtaking
2. "Lorong Memotong Di Kiri Dan Kanan" - Use Left or Right Lanes For Overtaking

JPJ should really run a campaign to educate drivers on how to drive on a three lanes highway and "Ikut Kiri Jika Tidak Memotong" (or Keep Left Unless Overtaking).

Role of Police - Investigation or Administration?

Since young, I'd been watching a lot of Hong Kong drama and movies. I'd the impression that police's duty is to protect the citizens, and to investigate crimes.

In this country, we have half of the police forces (48.2%) doing administrations and logistics, where only a mere 9% is involved in crime investigation. (Read Minister of Home Affair's reply to Tony Pua's question here.)

When we are hoping that more polices will be recruited to fight crime, more police stations and "Pondok Polis Komuniti" were built indeed. Hope the authority can listen properly, what we need is more polices to protect us, and to investigate crime, we don't need more police stations for us to report crimes.
