On my way home today, I queued to make a U-turn like I always do and so many others do too. There was a congestion because there was a bus that stopped to pick up and drop off passengers. Then it started to move on and traffic was moving. Just as my turn came, the traffic police stopped me and was trying to direct me to go straight. I indicated I wanted to make a U-turn like everyone he let passed, but he stood blocking my way. I stopped and refused to move. OK, I'm stubborn too, I admit.
He asked me to wind down my window and scolded me for not taking his instructions to drive straight on. I told him I wanted to make a turn and asked why can't I do so. He said there was a jam and I should go elsewhere to make a turn. Mind you, there was no other legal U-turn around there. I pointed to him that there was no jam because the cars already moved on. He looked but still insisted I can't turn.
I said nothing but still didn't move. He then said, "Tak dengar cakap polis, nanti saya report you!" I was hopping mad with what he said that I answered back "Report la! Tulis nombor saya, report la!"
In the first place, I don't think he can make a report against me. What crime have I committed? At the most, he can write me a traffic summon. So I'm wondering whether he abused his "power" as a traffic police to threaten a citizen with a police report just so that he can have his last say, or he doesn't even know the law himself?
Whichever it is, it doesn't seem right.

"Abuse of power" what else is new? Next they'll tell me there's a place politicians aren't corrupt.
The other day my friend was driving and involved in a hit and run accident. Unfortunately the person who hit his car was a policeman... grrrrr...
oh and about the contacts. Be careful of Bausch & Lomb's ReNu. Something in it causes a fungus which causes blindness ... which is not good.
