The Malaysian way of doing things can be quite baffling. The ongoing Ops Warta IV is a good example. Papimami and Shaolin Tiger have excellent accounts of how messed up it is.
After checking online (it took forever, it was so slow), i disovered i've got two outstanding PDRM summons for a little bit of speeding. Once in August 2003, and the other time in October 2004. God only knows, i don't remember anything about these two summons. I never received any notification, no letters, no ticket; i knew absolutely nothing about these two offenses until today.
I have no problems paying for my indiscretions; if i made a mistake, i expect to own up to it. But for goodness sake, there must be some common sense with the boys and girls over at PDRM -- if people don't even know they've been issued summons (and logically, surely, its the responsibility of the law enforcement agencies to inform the offender that he/she has broken the law), how fair is it to haul them off to court in operations like Ops Warta IV for unpaid summons?
