The postman brought Mum a surprise the other day, which made her RM200 poorer. Apparently, it was a ticket from the "Saya NAnti Rasuah" team, claiming that she had beaten Rule 17 and the offence was committed in May, somewhere at Dato Kramat Road.
So, we were there at the big ibu pejabat at Patani Road. That place didn't look like a police station as everyone who was in the navy blue uniform appeared obese. So, I personally don't think anyone with so much of lard could even chase the pencuris, pembunuhs, perogols, etc... Anyway, we went there to enquire about Rule 17. While waiting for our turn, Shortie the reporter appeared. The annoying man who's in his late 20's was behind us when he suddenly talked to us.
"Why are you here?" Shortie the reporter asked.
With just a glance, I knew he wasn't a cop. So, I ignored him but mum was extra friendly, so she told him why we were there. Seriously speaking, Shortie the reporter asked a very stupid question as we were actually at the Traffic Offence department. Even fools would know that we're there to pay for the summon and not to chit-chat with the obese officers.
Acting smart again, he took a peep at mum's ticket and spoke in Hokkien, "Ohh....Rule 17? Aiya, no need to enquire already la. They'll never give you discount wan"
"How do you know?" mum enquired while I whispered into her left ear "Do not talk to strangers...ignore him".
Shortie the reporter continued his bullshits about being a reporter, having "emergencies" all the time and he had no choice but to beat traffic lights. By that time, I've already formed a bad impression on this man. He's just another irritating reporter, who's obviously very very busybody!
"Wow. You're very proud of your traffic offences, huh? No wonder you make good friends with the officers here!" I answered in response to his bullshits. But, I think he didn't get what I mean and he asked another silly question, "Why did you beat the traffic lights?"
Mum who was in her uniform, told him that she had received an emergency call from the hospital and the patient was in a critical condition. So, she was in a hurry and had no choice but to beat the traffic lights. He responded with "oohs" and "ahhs" and kept following us, telling us what we should do and things like that.
Mum and I went to the fifth floor and then to the first floor to clarify everything before we paid for the traffic offence. We were about to leave the big building, when Shortie the reporter appeared again.
"How? Can reduce the amount?" He asked.
Mum just said no and we heard him saying, "See? I told you!" We ignored him and left that place as soon as possible, hoping that we won't see the annoying reporter's face ever again.
The morals of the story:
1) Never talk to strangers. Mum taught me this when I was young but I had to remind her just now. Sigh.
2) Reporters are as annoying as Salesmen (Note: Insurance Agents are included)
3) Rushing against time to interview or report about a Datuk's Yee Lai, or the scandal of any Datuks isn't an emergency. Rushing to the hospital to save someone's life or even rushing to the toilet is a real emergency.
4) The "SayaNAnti Rasuah" team is not friendly. If they were helpful and easily approachable, then Shortie the reporter wouldn't need to be there.
5) Never try to act smart when you're actually being a fool of your own self.
