Lately I've been observing our PDRM hard at work, putting up road blocks or hiding behind bill boards or behind bushes to 'catch' traffic offenders. Mind you, these are not the white uniformed traffic police, but the blue uniformed ones.
So, now we have the blue uniformed police officers, the white uniformed police officers and the JPJ officers to catch traffic offenders who are driving without a licence or committing minor offences such as double parking or not waiting for the traffic light to turn green at a ridiculously positioned traffic light or someone making an illegal turn.
Why are 3 different uniformed bodies so obsessed with catching those committing minor offences?
Can we please look at the bigger picture? How about the traffic police actually direct traffic flow at Permas Jaya or Pasir Gudang during peak hour to ease the congestion?
How about the blue uniformed police do their rounds and prevent robberies at neighbourhoods or stop snatch thefts or even prevent kidnaps and missing children cases? How about the unsolved crimes?
Why don't the police let the job of inspecting driving licences to the JPJ? Why do we need 3 different authorities to regulate such a minor thing like not having a valid driving licence?
Can we please look at the bigger picture? There are bigger crimes to be solved, and yet all these authorities seemed to be doing is checking people's driving licences!
