Yesterday I was stopped by the police for… well that wasn’t really clear, but I got a fine for doing something illegal apparently. Then the police said something you might expect in this part of the world; “You want to settle this?”. What he was asking for was a bribe.
By then I called his bluff, and played along and said; “No, give me the fine. If I’ve done something wrong I should pay for it”.
I’m not sure if this was an expected answer, and I might not have given him this answer if this subject hadn’t been brought up at the midsummer party. Apparently, the police force is really bad paid, and a way to make some more money is to collect bribes. Nevertheless, I wasn’t falling for that.
The Policeman replied; “Do you want me to take you to the police station?” in an angry voice.
Me: “If you think it’s needed”.
The policeman went off, with my drivers license for 5 minutes, came back and said; “This time, warning, now go!”, very upset that he didn’t got his bribe money.
On my way home I was thinking, did I go in to a chicken race with a corrupt policeman? What if he would take me down to the police station? Hmm, probably not, would be hard to collect more bribe money if he would be occupied with me.
The problem of bribing is ubiquitous in most parts of the world, more in some than others. Here’s the creation of a guy in India that was fed up with being forced to pay so many bribes. www.ipaidabribe.com, pretty funny and sad at the same time.
So for now, I’m enjoying freedom.
this is a better shot!

Di Mana Kan Ku Cari Ganti - Tribute to the late P.Ramlee
By - Aizat, Vince, Atilia, Dayang Nurfaizah, Stacy, Bunkface, Ning Baizura, KRU, Shahir, Azlan, Ella, Jaclyn Victor
***I just came back from a talk on P.Ramlee & they were talking on how awesome his song & lyric, I don’t know why but when they played this song I was touched and cried throughout the song (nasib baik duduk belakang hehehe).
This is the closest translation to his lyric since not every word in Malay can be translated with the meaning as close as the meaning in its original language, but I just feel that I should tell how beautiful this version were made to compliment P.Ramlee’s song. You can wiki more about him and listen to his song via youtube - this is not the original song. The song’s are in Malay language so even though you can’t understand, I don’t think language is a barrier when it comes to music right? Enjoice~:)

Hendak ku nangis
(I want to cry)
Tiada berair mata
(But no tears to shed)
Hendak ku senyum
(I want to smile)
Tiada siapa nak teman
(But no friends with me)
Kalaulah nasib
Sudah tersurat
(If its fated)
Begini hebat
(This heavy burden )
Apa nak buat
(What can I do?)
Di mana kan ku cari ganti
(Where can I find another)
Serupa dengan mu
(Like you?)
Tak sanggup ku berpisah
(I can’t bare to be separated)
Dan berhati patah, hidup gelisah
(And heart breaks, living in misery)
Alangkah pedih rasa hati
(Oh how it hurts)
Selama kau pergi
(When you’re gone)
Tinggalkan sendirian
(Leaving me alone)
Tiada berteman dalam kesepian
(All alone in loneliness)
Dunia terang menjadi gelita
(The light of my life turns dark)
Cahaya indah tiada bergema
(Without lights shining through)
Keluhan hatiku membawa derita
(My heart sighs with pain)
Kini kau jua tak kunjung jelma
(And you are no longer here)
Di mana kan ku cari ganti
(Where can I find another)
Mungkinkah di syurga
(Perhaps in heaven?)
Untuk kawan berduka
(For a sad friend)
Menangis bersama, selama-lamanya
(Crying together, forever)
