Aduan Kepada JPJ Cawangan Taiping.

aduan@jpj.gov.my

Ketidakmesraan Pegawai JPJ cawangan Taiping di Tingkat Satu

Selamat Sejahtera Tuan/ Puan,
Di sini saya berasa sedih dengan ketidak mesraan yang ditonjolkan oleh pegawai JPJ cawangan Taiping di tingkat satu. Pada 15 Ogos 2013(Khamis) jam 10.30 pagi, saya telah ke tingkat bawah untuk memperbaharui cukai jalan. Disebabkan ramai orang di bahagian kaunter tingkat bawah, seorang pegawai lelaki dengan mesranya meminta saya memperbaharui di tingkat satu(bagi yang berkelompok). Dengan suka cita saya menuju ke tingkat atas. Dalam proses hendak memperbaharui, seorang pegawai perempuan meminta nombor insuran. Saya terus memohon maaf sebab saya terlupa membeli insuran dahulu. Sebelum saya pergi, pegawai perempuan itu sempat menyindir saya depan pegawai yang lain bahawa orang lain juga boleh memperbaharui cukai jalan tanpa insuran. Saya tidak membalas sebab saya perlu bergegas ke tempat lain. Pada 11.45 pagi saya terus ke tingkat atas untuk memperbaharui cukai jalan selepas membeli insuran namun tingkat satu telah ditutup. Disebabkan kaunter individu pula ramai orang, saya berhasrat untuk pergi keesokkannya.

Pada 16 Ogos 2013(Jumaat) jam 10.20 pagi, saya ke tingkat satu namun pegawai perempuan yang sama menyatakan saya perlu ke tingkat bawah untuk urusan tersebut. Dengan nada sopan dan hairan, saya menjawab semalam dibenarkan berurusan diatas tetapi hari ini pula tidak. Lantas saya berkejar ke tingkat bawah tetapi kena tunggu 57 nombor sebelum giliran saya tiba. Saya meluru ke tingkat atas meminta bantuan sebab saya telah datang ke sini sebanyak tiga kali. Yang saya terima hanya sindiran yang kuat dengan menyatakan semua orang tunggu saya pun perlu tunggu. Sambil makan kuih, pegawai perempuan itu meminta pelanggan yang membuat pembaharuan secara kelompok menunjukkan kad permitnya kepada saya. Saya terkilan dengan perangai yang ditunjukkan oleh pegawai tingkat atas ini. Sekurang-kurangnya pegawai tingkat atas membantu pegawai di tingkat bawah untuk meringankan kesesakkan. Saya tabik dengan tata dan tertibnya pegawai di tingkat bawah yang berulang kali saya mempembaharui lesen dan perakuan pendaftaran kenderaan tidak pernah menyindir tetapi kerja yang cekap dan bantuan yang diberi.

Saya berharap pegawai tingkat atas diberi teguran yang sewajarnya supaya saya dan yang lain tidak akan mengalami keadaan seperti ini sekali lagi.
Sekian, terima kasih.

TOURING LANGKAWI
What you need to know if you are traveling Langkawi on your own.
Travel by rented car:
1. Make sure you rent from a certified car rental agent where car rental usually range from RM100 and above per day depends on types of car. If you rent a car not from certified car rental agent, you will probably be charged at least RM500 or charged at court where it adjourned for months.
2. How to identify who and whom are the certified car rental agents? 
There is a hexagon Car Roadtax paste in front of the car's windscreen. Before paying your rental fees, please insist to check whether the car is in proper condition first.(water in the radiator, there's fuel in the car and the car is not too old)
3. Why is it cost more to rent a car from a certified agent? 
The car rental agent need to buy insurance for the car.

Before boarding ferries from Langkawi to Kuala Kedah/ Kuala Perlis/ Pulau Pinang.
1. Buy it before getting to the ferries boarding platform. It is situated outside of the Ferry Jetty(which is situated on the right)
2. Buy the tickets to and fro to avoid untoward situation where during peak hours (between 10.30 a.m till 6.00 p.m), all tickets are sold out.
Happy Traveling!

SAFETY ON THE ROAD
Only selected places where the traffic police and JPJ conduct the spot check on rear seatbelt rule. When will illegal HID headlamp and heavily tinted windows crack down begins?

TOO HARSH PENALTY
From July next year, seatbelt offenders will be fined RM 2,000 and a year jail term served. Then the jail will be a tin of sardine in the end. Don't just talk about rear seatbelt ruling. The law enforcers did not even check or fined on driver and co-driver without buckle up. Until now, only in news reminded rear passengers to buckle up while no frequent reminder from the ministry of transport during normal tv slots, radio, local newspaper or even campaign in the rural areas.

DILEMMA FOR THE TEACHERS

PIC: www.cartoonstock.com/directory/s/seat_belt.asp

I don't think drivers should be blamed for kids or students not wearing seatbelt when told. Parents should take up the fine and not the driver especially teachers unless the parents give their trust, support and authority to manage their child. It's a state of shame to put the blame on the driver where the responsibilities lie on the parents to educate their child about the safety and also showing a good model role.

Source: www.malaysianbar.org.my
Drivers to bear fine for offenders below 17
KUALA LUMPUR: If rear-seat passengers under the age of 17 are not buckled up, the car driver will be fined for the offence.Offenders above age 17, on the other hand, will be individually fined when the new law requiring rear-seat passengers to belt up comes into effect on Jan 1.
The new rules, contained in the amendments to the Motor Vehicles (Safety Seat Belt) Rules 1977, under the Road Transport Act 1987, requires rear-seat passengers to fasten up or face a maximum fine of RM300.
Government sources told the New Straits Times that those above the age of 17 are of legal age to possess a car driving licence and should be aware of the law.
Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal signed the papers to enforce the ruling yesterday. Shafie, who is Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister, is standing in for Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat who is overseas.
It is also learnt that no action would be taken against the fourth rear passenger.
"Studies have shown that in most car accidents, only three or fewer number of rear passengers were involved.
"Also the government does not want to burden the poor who normally have only one car to travel and would pack their family into the back seat," said the source.
The amendments took into consideration most of the proposals submitted by the Road Safety Department as well as views from the police and Road Transport Department (RTD).
The transport minister is empowered to make any amendments to the rules at any time without referring to Parliament.
The maximum fine of RM300 is aimed at making it a deterrent to offenders.
Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh yesterday confirmed the new rules, saying he would be announcing the details at a press conference on Tuesday.
"A study by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research shows that about 40 to 50 per cent of deaths, serious injuries and minor injuries involving rear passengers can be avoided through this initiative," he said.
Federal Traffic Police chief Datuk Abdul Aziz Yusof said they were ready to enforce the new law once it took effect.
He said while the police would issue the summonses in accordance with the rules, the public should not fret over the amount.
The traffic police's current "early-bird payment scheme" will also come into play.
"If you pay the fine within one month, there will be a 50 per cent discount. If it is within two months, there will be a 30 per cent discount.
"If it is still not paid in the third month, a notice will be issued to the offender to appear in the Traffic Court. Failure to do so will later result in a warrant of arrest being issued."
The compulsory wearing of rear seat safety belts, starting from Jan 1, is expected to reduce death and injuries of rear passengers by up to 50 per cent.
Transport Ministry secretary-general Datuk Zakaria Bahari gave the optimistic figure based on a study by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research.
He said 350 deaths involving rear passengers were reported last year.
"In the same year, 700 unbuckled rear passengers suffered serious injuries and 2,100 minor injuries.
"The study shows that up to 50 per cent of fatalities and injuries can be avoided by buckling up," he said yesterday.
In this respect, Zakaria said the RTD would make it compulsory for all new vehicles to be equipped with rear seat belts.
However, private vehicles registered before Jan 1, 1995 were exempted from the ruling.
He said owners of vehicles registered after Jan 1, 1995, which did not have rear seat belts, were given three years to install them.
Zakaria also advised car owners to make early appointments, especially since Proton, Perodua and Honda were conducting free installation of rear seat belts.

WILL SEAT BELT, ILLEGAL HID HEADLAMPS AND HEAVILY TINTED GLASS RULLING SUCCESSFUL?
PIC: www.jkjr.gov.my

More and more Malaysians driving without safety belt including the driver. Policemen are also included. Their head lamps are also fitted with illegal HID which irritates the eyes of the drivers and passengers from the opposite directions. It exposes danger towards other road users where certain area cannot be seen when heavily tinted windows are not transparent. Can the Ministry of Transportation be able to eradicate the situations? What do you think? Time will tell.

DOUBLE PARKING NOT ONLY IN KLANG VALLEY

PIC: thestar.com.my
Inconsiderate behaviour also happens in Taiping especially in Prima Restaurant and Jalan Panggung Wayang. Take a look from day to dawn. The condition from bad becoming worse during peak hours. The parking lots exist are enough to accommodate the customers. The problem lies on the 'tidak apa' attitude where the common lines 'Sekejap saja, 'Everyone park like that' and 'Who cares? Police does not care. Why you care?'
Disorderly parking causing daily traffic chaos in the Klang Valley

THE most critical problem concerning parking in the Klang Valley seems to be the lack of parking space in busy commercial areas. This has snowballed into issues like illegal parking and double or triple parking, which causes massive traffic congestion.
Illegal parking is perhaps the biggest headache contributing to chaotic traffic congestion motorists endure every day.
The problem persists because of inconsiderate motorists wanting to save some money on parking and poor enforcement by the police and local authorities.
It is compounded by a lack of parking bays especially in commercial areas.
Even if there are parking facilities available at such areas, the charges are quite exorbitant which explains why many motorists to resort to double-park, even at the risk of getting parking summonses.
A nightmare: Cars double-parked in Desa Sri Hartamas and being a nuisance to road users.
A survey of the various busy areas by StarMetro uncovered some interesting facts.
There are several multi-storey parking complexes for the public in congested areas such as PJ New Town, Damansara Uptown and Tai Pan in USJ Subang.
StarMetro checked out some of these parking facilities in Petaling Jaya and found that motorists are not using the indoor parking facilities available as they are not willing to pay the high parking charges.
At about 10.30am on the day of the StarMetro survey, the ground floor and first floor of the MBPJ parking complex A in PJ State were full with cars parked there, but there were still some empty parking lots on the second and third floors while the top floor was almost empty.
At the same time, many cars were spotted double parking along the road in front of the shop lots, causing a bottleneck on the road. Motorists had to squeeze through.
Shop owner Jeff Wong admitted that there were times where he had to resort to double parking.
No takers: Vacant bays available in a multi-storey car park in Damansara Uptown while motorists park illegally on the streets (below).
“There’s just not enough parking space in PJ. The fee at the parking complexes is too expensive at RM1.50 per hour. For those who work during the 9-to-5 office hours it would mean a fee of RM12 per day,” he said.
“We pay road tax so why do we still have to pay for parking? It’s a burden to us,” he said.
Wong said the MBPJ parking complexes should not charge such a high fee as it is owned and operated by the local government.
“The parking fee should be cheaper, if not free. I would not mind parking there if the charge is 60 sen per hour like the metered parking bays,” he said.
“Plus, there’s the security problem at the parking lots. One of my customers who pays for a monthly pass to park at the parking complex was robbed when she went to get her car after working till late at night. Fortunately, she escaped unharmed,” Wong said.
A bookshop owner who wanted to be only known as Din said that the relevant authorities should increase the parking lots to accommodate more cars.
“Even the multi-storey parking complex is sometimes full. Many of those who park illegally are in a hurry and they have no choice but to do so. They park for just a while and hurry off to run errands such as banking or paying bills,” he said.

LELONG! LELONG! CHEAP! VERY CHEAP! ONLY IN MALAYSIA! UP TO 50% DISCOUNTS FOR UNLIMITED TIME ONLY!

Pay later, big discounts. Pay earlier, who ask you? 50 % discounts on traffic offenders? Since such discounts being introduced, Malaysian drivers become more aggressive in becoming the number one traffic offenders.
Where are the policemen nowadays? Perak police officers wanted more patrol cars. Do they need a car just to snap on speed kings? Full amount of ‘samans’ will teach traffic offenders a lesson. I don’t deny RM300 or more will be a burden but what will happen when life of other road users is endanger? At least traffic offenders will think twice before taking any chances on another traffic offence. Discounts will only encourage them where ‘saman’ is just a price of a bucket of chicken.

TO IMPLIMENT OR NOT TO IMPLIMENT?

First the Seat Belt rule has been post pone. What about tinted now? Delay again? Before any regulations is finalized, please do not make any unnecessary announcement.
Reference from NST Online:
The Road Transport Department has instead been told to review the existing regulations to make it suit local weather, said Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat."The crackdown is off. We are holding back because we want to review existing regulations. I'm prepared to do away with this ruling, but I need the feedback and co-ordination of the police first."The issue is being studied now and we will make a final decision following the feedback we receive from the police and RTD," he said.It was earlier reported that the crackdown was to start on July 1 with owners of heavily-tinted vehicles to be slapped with a RM200 fine.
RTD enforcement director Salim Parlan had said that those who were allowed to drive vehicles with heavily-tinted glass would have to show proof they had permission to do so."For instance, a billionaire or a person suffering from a skin disease can apply for an exemption from the transport minister," Salim had said.Under current regulations, owners of tinted vehicles needed to show proof, such as a police report, if their life was under threat or a doctor's letter if they were suffering from a skin disease.Under the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Certain Types of Glass) Rules 1991, the chief judge and top-ranking police and army officers were allowed to have tinted vehicles.Ong yesterday said there was no reason why tinting should not be allowed and restricted only to a privileged few."I don't see the need for anyone wanting to tint their cars to be politically connected. We are part of the international community and our regulations must reflect this," Ong said."I have asked my director-general to look into all procedures and implications, including the entry of heavily-tinted foreign cars into our country. We will make an announcement when things have been finalised," he said.

NEW SEAT RULING
Mandatory for rear seat passengers to wear seat belts beginning this month but no summons for the offence will be issued until the end of August. The ruling is only effective for cars registered after January 1995. Owners of cars without rear seat belts have three years to get them installed. Police would work with the Road Safety Department to distribute flyers to motorists. Federal traffic police chief Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Hamzah Taib, when contacted, said police personnel would advise motorists on the new ruling until the three-month period was up, when summonses would be issued. Many suggested that more information be disseminated via the media on the new rule.
Wah....waahh......wahhhhhhhhhhhh! But what's the fuss all about. Only implement the ruling after three years and that's it! Case closed.

Owners of locally-made cars can get rear safety belts installed

By TEH ENG HOCK and ROYCE CHEAH
PETALING JAYA: Owners of locally-made cars not already fitted with rear seat belts will get them installed for free.
Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said an agreement has been worked out with the manufacturers, banks and insurance companies and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is expected to be inked soon.
“We have deliberated on this systematically as it involves money and engineering. We hope this initiative can help lessen the people’s burden with the new ruling to wear rear seat belts,” he said.
“I wanted original manufacturers involved because fitting anchorage points for seat belts must be done properly,” he said. “It is part of their corporate social responsibility programme.”
A source in a major local car manufacturer said the signing ceremony would take place tomorrow. Details on where to get the cars fitted with free rear seat belts would be announced later.
“I would like to advise passengers in cars already fitted with seat belts to buckle up when travelling and for car owners without rear seat belts to install them promptly and not wait until the last minute,” he said.
The ruling came into force yesterday making it mandatory for rear seat passengers to wear seat belts.
However, no summons for the offence will be issued until the end of August. The ruling is only effective for cars registered after January 1995.
Owners of cars without rear seat belts have three years to get them installed.
The ministry kicked off a media campaign yesterday to inform the public on the importance of wearing rear seat belts. It will run for six months.
Ong said the ministry wanted to drive home the message that enforcement of the ruling was “not so much focused on punishment” but for the safety of motorists.
A Transport Ministry official said the idea is not to pass down the burden of fixing the seat belts to the user wherever possible.
“It should be part of the corporate social responsibility of the manufacturers.”
The official said the idea was to help the public so that there was no excuse for them not to use the rear seat belts and to cover all possible loopholes.
“We do not want the voice of 19% of car owners who do not have rear seat belts to affect the 81% who do have rear seat belts.”
Perodua Kancil and Kenari cars manufactured in 1998 and until mid-2004 will be exempted from the compulsory backseat belt rule.
Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh said this was because the models produced during this period did not have anchorage points for rear seat belts.
“Some models which came out between 2004 and 2005 have anchorage points but no rear seat belts.
“The department has proposed that Perodua offer special packages to owners of these Kancil and Kenari models to install rear seat belts.
“They have three years to do that,” he said.

Many not aware of rule

By STEVEN DANIEL
PETALING JAYA: Despite the rear seat belt ruling being introduced yesterday, many people still claimed ignorance of it.
Previtha Rajah, 33, said she was unaware of the start of the three-month advocacy period for the use of rear seat belts.
However, the mother of three can afford to “overlook” the ruling – for she has always got her rear seat passengers to buckle up anyway.
“For safety purposes, I have never failed to get my children, maid and other passengers to buckle up,” she added when met at a petrol kiosk here.
Not a problem: Jane Jacob (left) buckling up as her daughter Previtha looks on. Both have always used the rear seat belt and welcome the new ruling.
Roslan Hashim, 34, a technician, said he had heard of the plan but did not know it had already been implemented.
“Betulkah, saya pun tak tahu (Is it, I did not know),” he said, suggesting that more information be disseminated via the media on the new rule.
A 50-year-old businessman, who only wanted to be known as Choy, went one step further by questioned the need for the ruling.
“Most cars have only two rear seat belts. Does that mean I can only drive four people in my car?” he asked.
Federal traffic police chief Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Hamzah Taib, when contacted, said police personnel would advise motorists on the new ruling until the three-month period was up, when summonses would be issued.
“We will advise motorists of the new rule whenever we have the chance. We will not spare any effort,” he added.
He said police would work with the Road Safety Department to distribute flyers to motorists.
PLEASE BUCKLE UP!
All passengers are not exempted from not using rear seat belt. So ‘Kancil’ cannot occupy 7 people already ah? So, more lives will be saved. How many drivers are using it anyway?
Let’s face the facts first. Until now, I still can see bikers not wearing crash helmets, parents sending two or three children to school and yet did not wear crash helmet. This situation proves that there is no enforcement in Malaysia. Only 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam'.
Reference from themalaysianinsider:
KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — The government and local car manufacturers have struck a deal to provide and install rear seat belts for free to locally-made cars soon.
Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said an agreement had been worked out and that a memorandum of understanding between the government and manufacturers is expected to be inked in the next few days.
"We have deliberated this systematically as it involved money and the engineering part of it. We hope this initiative can help lessen the people's burden with the new ruling to wear rear seat belts from today," he told reporters after opening a Chinese arts exhibition today.
Ong said the government was also working with the corporate sector to set up a fund to subsidise the cost of installing rear seat belts.
From today, rear seat passengers in cars are required to wear seat belts. After a three-month advocacy period, offenders will be fined for breaching the new law.
"I would like to advise passengers of cars already fitted with seat belts to buckle up when travelling and for car owners who have not installed the belts to do so promptly and not wait till the last minute," he said.
The government had given three years grace period for owners of cars without rear seat belts to get it installed. Currently, almost 90 per cent of vehicles are fitted with rear seat belts.
Ong, who is also a MCA vice-president and Selangor MCA chief, said he would meet Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan to get details on last week's incident of a group of thugs attacking Bandar Mahkota residents who were trying to remove concrete barricades built by Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, concessionaire of the Cheras-Kajang Highway.
The controversy ended on Friday following the Cabinet's decision to keep the disputed toll-free access road to Cheras-Kajang Highway open until the issue was settled in court. — Bernama

TRAFFIC OFFENDERS ON CANDID CAMERA
Smile, you are on candid camera! If I'm not mistaken, last year the government came out with an idea to punish traffic offenders through a rewarding scheme. Haven't they learned from their mistakes? Some might snap a photo that looks like an offence. Is it better if the traffic police officers take shot on plain clothes? Maybe put on a spy camera somewhere at accident prone area or an area where offenders will make such as jump red lights, over taking double lane and jump queue on a busy street. Then, recruit more traffic police officers.
Reference from http://www.panducermat.org.my
Click and post pictures of road offenders

PUTRAJAYA: The Road Safety Department has created an Internet portal to allow the public to be the private eyes of the department and the police in an effort to reduce accidents.
Among others, the website, www.panducermat.org.my, enables motorists to take snapshots of traffic offenders.It also contains driving tips, sections for suggestions, a forum, a road safety blog and identification of risky or accident-prone stretches in the country, including Sabah and Sarawak. Snapshots of offenders can be posted there and the department will forward them to the relevant law enforcement agencies for further action, said department director-general Datuk Suret Singh after the launching of the portal by Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat at the ministry yesterday.He added the portal would allow members of the public to interact not only with the department, but also the police.
"We are actually providing an interactive, educational and responsive platform for the public in efforts to reduce road fatalities and accidents. "We believe this interactive engagement will make our motorists more considerate and responsible towards other road users."He said all reports or complaints would be acted upon. "We promise rapid action against traffic offenders and the particulars of complainants will be kept confidential."Suret, however, cautioned that only passengers or pedestrians should use their cellphones to take snapshots on the road.
