#Affectus translation how to
If this person were forced to learn how to drive properly before being given a licence then maybe he or she would still be alive today. Therefore, corruption does affect you when you lose someone because of corruption - or if it is you who dies. In short, that person who died in the traffic accident could be someone you know or someone close to you. And those who die could be you, a family member, an office colleague, or a close friend. So, about ten people a day die on Malaysian roads because most of them have a driving licence but do not know how to drive. So it is better to pay, even if you can drive, and especially if you can’t, to be assured off a driving licence. The trouble with this legitimate scheme, though, is that even if you know how to drive they will still fail you as ‘punishment’ for refusing to participate in the ‘guaranteed to pass’ scheme. The other scheme involves you taking the driving test and passing it all on your own. One is the ‘guaranteed to pass your driving test’ scheme - which means you will pass your driving test and get a driving licence even if you can’t drive. How in heaven’s name did she pass her driving test and get a licence if she can’t even reverse her car? And for sure she can’t drive.
I know someone, now deceased, who had a driving licence but could not even reverse her car out of the driveway. Malaysian driving licences tak laku (have no value). Do you know that in some European countries you can exchange your Singapore driving licence for a driving licence of your host country? But they will not accept a Malaysian driving licence. Malaysians may have a valid driving licence. Now, let there not be any confusion over this statement. The main reason for this is that Malaysians do not know how to drive. Many more are seriously injured or maimed, sometimes resulting in them no longer being able to work and earn a living. Most times, indirectly.Īn average of ten people die each day on Malaysian roads. And the same goes for other things as well, such as corruption and whatnot.īut corruption does affect us, contrary to what many may be thinking. Is it not those who suffer or suffered from cancer, or have lost a loved one to cancer, who gets involved in anti-cancer movements or associations? How many of us who never had to face cancer would want to donate generously to the anti-cancer effort? We never bother about something that does not affect us. As long as the robbers do not break into your home to rob you and rape your wife or daughter then who bothers too much about the high level of crime? It is when it is you that is hit that you become outraged about the high crime rate and the low level of police enforcement and lack of effort to combat crime. When corruption does not affect you directly you are not too concerned about it. So bribes actually help when faced with certain obstacles - and there are definitely many 'obstacles' when dealing with governments in third world countries like Malaysia. Sometimes, when you are not ‘eligible’, you can become eligible by paying bribes. This saves time since you can bypass the normal requirements and get your applications approved much faster by just bribing the government officers. I spoke to many of my Chinese businessmen friends and they admitted that it is easier to do business when corruption is involved. More importantly, imagine how much the police are making each time they get arrested. Imagine how much they must be making dealing in drugs.
So that came to RM1 million for two arrests. They were trying to arrange another RM500,000 to get out of this second arrest.
The first time she and her husband were arrested they had to pay RM500,000 for both of them to get released. My wife, who in 2001 was detained overnight in the women’s section of the police lockup, the same night I was arrested, spoke to one Indonesian woman who was on her second drug dealing arrest. He even threw in a cigarette as part of the ‘package’.Īnd it costs RM250,000 for a drug dealer to escape the gallows.
#Affectus translation trial
For RM200 I was placed in a ‘special’ lockup where a detainee awaiting trial for murder took me under his wing so that the others could not get at me. I paid RM200 for one night’s ‘protection’. In the police lockup, we have to pay the policemen RM100 for a three-minute local phone call and RM10 for a stick of cigarette. How many times have you illegally parked your car or dashed through a red light and paid the policeman a bribe of RM50 or RM100 to save paying a RM300 fine if you are issued a summons?Īnd that is cheap, mind you. Most Malaysians don’t think twice about the level of corruption in this country. PAS does not understand that corruption and poverty is the real enemy. But PAS does not declare war on corruption.
