NWA rocks
Today, my friend waited in the car (double parked) while i ran up to the computer shop to get something. Halfway through the process of negotiation with the ahbeng upstairs, I got a call from my friend screaming "OI! someone just banged your CAR!!!"
So I ran downstairs, and saw this chinese man in his fifties, who could have been my uncle. He was coming out of his car park with his old cefiro (unclemobile), and had reversed straight into my car, giving my friend a big jolt and denting my door so badly that the alarm no longer works. And he was blaming me for parking there.
USE YOUR FUCKING EYES la, uncle. My friend is there in the car, just ask him to move the car if your estimation has gone down with your ability to make babies. Anyway, to those with problems visualising the situation, here is an illustration done in MS Paint.
Pretty obvious, no? But, of course, Malaysians will never admit to being wrong in a car accident. So they cling to some excuse that the other person is somehow wrong. some of them actually believe it. Like this dude.
So I come out of the car, and he starts blaming me immediately. I can feel myself getting angrier, and he has kids (ugly as they are), so I decide to just remain calm, get his number plate and car model, take some pictures and ask him to meet me at the police station (a place I'm rather familiar with).
When I get there, he's nowhere to be found. So I go ahead and report the incident. The cops are fairly sympathetic (as they usually are before they get their bribes), so I ask them what happens next.
A. He reports it, and I come back the next day to get his details down to call him (yes, in my anger i forgot to ask for contact details).
B. He doesn't report it, I don't get to claim my insurance and all he gets is a BLACKLIST status that can be cleared with a 50 ringgit excuse note from our Sultan.
FUCK THESE DAMN COPS. Seriously. This isn't the first time either. The last time I got rammed by some drunken truck driver with a fake numberplate, he got off scot free and I wasted my goddamn time reporting the incident. Nothing ever happened after that. No follow up, no phone call.
But oh, when you don't pay your summons, they send cops to your house. Where are those cops now? Aren't they supposed to help me find the impotent uncle? No, they're off harassing someone else for money, and justice is a word mentioned only once in this blog. Yes you just saw it.
Now you wonder why the crime rate here is so high. People can commit crimes left, right and centre, knowing that money (or just plain old laziness) will get them off. Once, a cop followed me through an illegal u-turn to give me a summon. Talk about ironic.
And the icing on the cake? I just got a call from the cops. Apparently, I was double parking, so neither of us get to claim insurance, and both of us get fined. I don't know about you, I define parking as leaving your car unattended. What say you?
So now, having been an innocent bystander, I not only have to pay for the damages to my car, I also have a new summon to contend with, for GODDAMN double-parking.
FUCK the Malaysian Police. You're all a goddamn embarassment to a country with no shortage of them. Come and arrest me now.
Yes, I am angry now. No, it will pass fairly quickly. I will upload a picture of the small-penis uncle later, so you can check if he used to be your high-school teacher, stepfather or lover.
