road checks?? I don't think so

tumbled out of bed....drove to church half asleep and gasped (shocked!) at the huge line-up of cars on the next lane. Smacks forehead and goes, of course. Police are conducting road blocks and checking cars on the pretext of stopping those going for the demonstration. What demonstration? The one protesting the fuel hike, splashed all across the newspaper. Really, Malaysia is not bad- has advanced to the stage where protests are held, oopps, peaceful protests I mean. Yeah, very peaceful because nothing ever happens.

Sure, it causes awareness but more than not, it gives many many others more inconvenience when our beloved higher offices refuses to budge but counter attack by hassling our lives with fabricated stories, dramas and inconsiderate actions. what the?? It irritates people who are so non-political, like me, to actually consider doing something.

Sure enough, 'troops' were deployed to actually carry out car inspection and road blocks for two WHOLE days (round the clock!!). Come on, I'm sure there are more urgent and better things for our armed forces to do than to stand around all day waving cars by. Not like they're really checking. And even if they do, how are they to tell who's a demonstrator and who's not?? =.=
