This morning I donated $20 to police very UNWILLINGLY at my
place!
I stayed here for more than 5 years and have been crossing the
road, just like everybody else.
Then suddenly, this man in blue stop me in my stride while talking
to an ah peh. He kept talking to the ah peh while making me wait. I
got fed up and asked 'what's the problem'. He stopped his
conversation and said I jaywalked and asked why I don't use the
overhead bridge which is just a few steps away.
Dang! I was loss for words! I suddenly realise that there is an
overhead 'white elephant' which everybody has so well-preserved by
not using it. But it just doesn't make sense to utilise the 'white
elephant' just to cross the 2 lanes. Everyone ignores the 'white
elephant' and cross the 2 lanes, so much more efficient!
Nevertheless, from the expression of the man in blue, I reckon he
and his organization must not have been paid well. So I grudgingly
fish out my ID and UNWILLINGLY donated $20.
To think that 3 to 4 persons have been activated to solicit for
involuntary donation at the same place, I reckon their year-end
bonus really need a boost.
2 hours later, I went back to the same spot, I saw at least 15
students and ah pehs and ah sohs crossing the road and waiting in
between the 2 lanes. Where are the men in blue? Not a single one in
sight.
Conclusion: I tio suay!
