Cop magnet... or not.

‘Is your car a cop magnet?’

I’ve noticed this quote recently at Yahoo!’s ‘Most Popular Auto Vehicle’ entry.

And I couldn’t agree more.

Because you know what? Yesterday, my car (eceh! Perasan…) and I had officially been bestowed our 20th compound (But in my case, its not cops. It’s the OTHER authority)

20th!
Impressive, huh? *cringes*

Let us all count how much money is that?

1 compound = RM 10
20 compounds = RM 10 multiple to 20
= RM 200

*nears hysterical breakdown*

You know what? I personally think that this is totally unfair (I’m not talking based on my guilty side, okeh!) I mean there are people who go to work everyday and every month of every year! How can they possibly afford buying the parking coupon for the rest of their working days!?

Let’s see if I’m being prejudice.

1 coupon = RM 0.60
1 COUPON could only last for 1 HOUR.
1 BOOKLET has got 10 pieces of coupon only.
so 1 booklet = RM 0.60 multiple by 10
= RM 6.00
1 working day = 8 HOURS.

So do you think it is fair to pay RM 4.80 A DAY for your every working day just to get your car parked safely? Just to fulfill your duty by going to work?

I do not think so.

I’ve surveyed this in Kuantan as well. Why… Oh, WHY do they only have to pay RM 1.50 per COMPOUND! It’s Kuantan, for goodness sake. And guess where I live now? Where I’ve spent almost half my life at? Where the authority there states that I’ve to pay RM 200 or the cop’ll get my throat?

MUAR, Johor.

How ironic.

In my opinion, there are other options to this problem. Either they reduce the compound amount or they could make, I dunno, a special parking tag or summat for those who got to work. Civilians will pay, for sure they will but monthly AND, again, with reduced amount, OF COURSE! They have other stuffs to pay for too, y’know.

And I am NOT paying for it. Not one penny.
Let's just see, shall we?

For your information, I have my reasons of why I have to go to my practical session by CAR and not by MOTORCYCLE where I could simply avoid this misfortune from befalling my pathetic fate.

But I don’t feel like I want to elaborate.


I’m sorry, folks…
That’s that for now.
