This just in:
It is now the Police Department of Malaysia which is to fix the increasing cost of living in Malaysia. They now have the responsibility of maintaining the status quo, and fostering driving habits which will help bring down the overall cost of living to the ordinary Malaysian.
How will they achieve this never-before-seen feat? By giving all and sundry carte blanche on the roads... This in turn will allow the police to relax, knowing they won't be under pressure to accept all those bribes they get faced with every day... They can now leave the responsibility of maintaining safe roads to volunteer organisations such as Joe Bloggs who helps out during an accident, or the old man trying to cross the street during 'rush' hour.
By lowering the fines by at least 50%, Malaysians can now break the law without breaking the bank! Thank god, because the cost of living was sooo high, now, at least the cost of dying is dirt cheap!
Perhaps in their next ingenious move, the police can leave the homicide inquiries to the old-folks-home down the road to give them more to do!
OK, so apart from the obvious sarcasm, about 56% of Malaysians polled DISAGREED with the lowering of the fines. So why do it? Your average Malaysian knows that lowering fines DOESN'T encourage better driving habits. All the Malaysians I work with know what the result will be - more carnage.
Please don't break the law - that's the cheapest option!
