The other day I received a police summons for an offense that I SWEAR I have never committed.
The offense was written up in Kuantan, a town which I have not visited in years. The last time I was in the East Coast was during last year’s holiday in Redang, where we stopped in Kuala Terengganu for a while.
The car was my old Iswara, which was sold to a second-hand car dealer BEFORE the date of the offense.
Surprisingly it was still under my name.
Damn sien, have to go to the police station now. If not, cannot renew my road tax soon.
This is common knowledge, but whatever. You can check for summons by sending a SMS to the.. erm people. Type “POLIS SAMAN (your IC without dashes or car registration number)” and send to 32728. Then you will receive a SMS that says you have a have a summons for how much on this and that date, and if you want more details, you’ll have to send another SMS saying “POLIS SAMAN (IC or car registration number) SEMUA” and you will get a SMS with the summons details. Each SMS costs RM0.50.

A couple of years ago, we went to Sabah for a family trip. Met up with my sister’s friend, Audrey who was a teacher in Kota Kinabalu. She related a story to us that has been in my mind all these while; never got around to blogging it until I read Bluqube’s post today.
It was the closing dinner of Sabah’s Teachers’ Day celebration. Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein was supposed to be there and address the 2,000 guests present, but at the last minute he could not make it. So one of his deputies attended the dinner in his place.
The deputy stood up to make his speech. He had been to many places in Sabah, he said. He had been to Menggatal and he had been to Bum Bum. He had also been to Nunukan.
If you are like me who can be geographically-challenged at times, here’s a nifty map highlighting kedudukan Nunukan.

Q: What is more dangerous than driving behind a tractor going at 20 kph?
A: Driving behind an indecisive L-plate female student going at 30 kph on a single lane accompanied by an instructor barking into her ears.

Tomorrow I’ll start blogging in participation of Take Back The Tech for 16 days of ‘activism against gender-based violence’. If you want to be part of the campaign, go read more details here.
I think it should have been ‘take back TEH tech’, would be more relevant, you know 
Anyhow, it will be fun, so let’s do it.
That’s exactly how I failed my on-road JPJ test the 1st time, when the tester starts barking into my ears, and then the gears’s stuck. And I’m not even a female! No offence though, except if you’re an instructor/JPJ tester who loves to bark into our ears.
I’m not sure how my post reminded you of this, but yours reminded me of Bum Bum island. you know, somewhere betwee the smaller islands surrounding Bum Bum, there’s a shallow patch of sand, about knee deep, that you can hop off the sampan, a literally stand in the middle of the ocean. they said we can also walk between the islands on certain times.
Lizzam: your blog post had a blurb on a minister asking the rakyat to stop blaming the gomen for the low quality of our students.
how not to blame gomen when the deputies within the education ministry doesn’t even know that nunukan is not in malaysia, let alone sabah?
lawak
the only time one would fail driving test is they didnt pay the full ‘lesson fees’
dont blame the deputy minister for his ignorance lah….the fella he’s deputy to is just as ignorant.
That day, I kena saman a saman that summoned me to go collect my saman at JPJ (could be a brilliant tongue twister..haha). My dad said, “Why so stupid go collect JPJ office to kena saman”. Oh well, not my fault if cannot renew road tax *whistles*
i once had my old kancil labelled as 4WD and was spotted going at 160km/h near Kuala Kubu Baru.
The Polis just told me to ignore it as someone might had forged the number and put it on the 4WD.
which 4WD can go that fast ah?
The last I check the PDRM has not fully integrate their summon system with JPJ yet. So shouldn’t have problem renewing your roadtax, unless your unlucky enough that they have manually key-in the saman from PDRM into JPJ system.
Haha. Good story. I wonder what Hishammuddin’s deputy was doing in Indonesia… Hmmm.
stupe: plenty.

pak lah, kak dah and Sami boy all got many saman with them, and still renew with no issue. Too bad, suanie are nobody, otherwise you can ask your little horse to renew for you(when become latuk).
stupe, 160kmh is nothing for 4WD. Evo also 4WD
