Mental "Roadblocks"

10 out of 10 people that I have spoken to, are very frustrated with all the on-going roadblocks around the KL city & Klang valley. If this is the idea of the police force and politicians to intimidate the general public, I must say they have failed miserably.

As the political saga unfold, the general public is reprimanded with ridiculous delay to their daily routines with all the "just-for-show" roadblocks. If this is allowed to continue for another week, it will only further upset the general public. The police defended their decisions and was even supported by the lame head PM as those road blocks were necessary to maintain LAW AND ORDER in the country. Well, all I can see is unjustified & unlawful decision to create so much CHAOS to the general public. Baboon said it well in his monkey rants here.

From my personal experience today, I needed to pass 2 roadblocks on my way to work and an usual 15 minutes drive has been unnecessary lengthened to 45 minutes. That is a 200% increase on my total travelling time! On those said roadblocks, the policemen(women) were just waving the cars to move forward, without showing the slightest interest on the drivers or passengers. Yes, to me they are the mere puppets that were forced to stand on duty.

Seriously, our politicians have serious mental roadblocks when coming to decide anything in the public interest for safety. Malaysia will continue to be the laughing stock of the other nations while we scare away all the foreign investors and also bring the whole KL city business to a complete standstill in the name of law & order.
