for those who haven’t heard yet, my bag was stolen on 6th 7th july after work – not directly from me – but from under the driver’s seat of my car whilst i was filling up the tank. so for my friends and colleagues – if you spot a maroon ford ranger in wangsa maju, keramat, ampang area – suddenly slowing down beside your vehicle – just be extra alert.

complacent – that was what i was. since this was MY neighborhood, i’ve been here GAZILLIONS of times to fill up, my handbag WAS NOT in plain view and i was just BESIDE the car & couldn’t be bothered to lock it for a short while .

to cut things short, the silver lining was that my kids weren’t in the car during the incident and it WASN’T a snatch case (alhamdulillah!). oh, plus my mobile & house keys were still with me.

anywho, apparently – RTD (road transport dept) thinks losing my driver’s license due to my handbag being stolen is still cause to be penalised. a summary of the conversation that went on as I sat down infront of the rtd officer to submit application for new license along with my police report.

rtd officer: cik, kalau report ni takda receipt – cik kena bayar denda.

me: huh? kenapa nak kena ada receipt? masa saya buat report tu, constable tu takda pun suh bayar untuk report sebab nie kes kena curik. takkan saya nak mintak receipt tak tentu pasal. JPN (jabatan pendaftaran negara) takda pulak bising saya takda receipt for report

rtd officer: tak leh cik. kalau takda receipt, saya kena denda cik RM20.

me: (getting a bit peeved) bagi saya cakap dengan supervisor la. saya buat IC baru pun kompaun x payah bayar sebab kes curik.

after 10 minutes of locating the supervisor, the rtd officer came back. the supervisor then proceeded to explain to the officer abt some circular or instruction they had received.

apparently since mine is a rompak case (whereby the handbag was taken/lifted from my vehicle or home), rather than a ragut case (whereby the handbag is forcibly taken from my person & would normally cause harm to me) – i do not qualify for a waiver of the penalty.

friggin hell. hamik la ko deploh ringgit tu… JPN bleh waive 110 sbb dah ade police report, JPJ nak kena some piece of receipt attached to the effin report or me to be hurt in the incident baru nak waive.

mmg JPJ kuat makan duit!
