Don't Offer "Duit Kopi"

Well....Just received this message from my friend regarding the traffic police of Malaysia. Since this notice is very relevant, I will share with you guys in my Pocket Diary for today.

Dear Friends,

If you have ever paid or are thinking of paying "Coffee Money" when stopped for traffic or other offences, Don't Ever Do This Again.

The traffic department (JPJ) has recently started a campaign to be rid of corruption. Every officer on duty will be rewarded with RM100 if they report each case of bribery to the department. This is how they do (trick you into) it. They will note down the details of your IC/MyKad and ask you how you want to settle ("Macam mana nak selesai?")

If you indicate yes or even offer to give them any money, they will report the incident by rejecting your "Kopi Money" and get the RM100 instead as an incentive for their integrity and "Honest" publicity. This means that you will end up having a summon issued to you and perhaps a charge for bribery.

SO DON'T PAY DUIT KOPI AGAIN, especially if you hope to go free with a lesser amount of money compared to thefine. Even if you want to pay over RM200, the JPJ Officers would rathe have a "good" name than to take your kopi money. Just beware of their trick ecause the cops are now accumulating "cookies" points for their promotion and pay increment - with your help if possible.

Hmmm.....talking about corruption in Malaysia, if this is what is happening in the traffic police department of Malaysia, I suggest that they should implement this rule across the board. You see..... from the latest news today, it was noted that at least one of the Member of Parliment (MP) of Perak that quited the PR party earlier this month was offered a substantial amount of money (at least RM5 million) to quit the PR Party.

Since the so called government has already taken steps to reduce corruption at the traffic police department, May I suggest that they also do the same to all MPs related incident. Why not offer the relevant MP or MPs at least RM1 million each if they manage to produce the name of the person and party who have bribe them to leave their respective party?? Isn't this a great way to destroy corruption??
