I arrived 30 minutes late to office today… Not because I left my house late but because of the stupid road block by the police. I think it is becoming very annoying. Of late, every time there is a rumour of a protest, the police will start to block every road to the Kuala Lumpur. What the heck?!?

It stretches ahead and starts way, way back…

The cause of the long jam - police decided to have roadside picnic

I thought this is a scene of a war-torn country that I would only see on TV… You know, the scene where the soldiers carrying machine guns would block the roads… I guess Malaysia is reaching for new levels everyday. For the past few weeks, newspaper headlines have been explosive amazing! Accusations of bribery, conspiracy, murder, sodomy… I think X-Files can learn from us!

The thing is, I think the road block is actually meant to delay or prevent cars (especially the protesters) from entering the city. In that sense, the police are doing a good job! They almost managed to stop everyone from entering the city. I was supposed to have two meetings this morning and it ended up with one meeting postponed to the evening and the other one got canceled. Are the police trying to drive away investors as well? If they are, good job! Keep it up. Very soon, every investor will probably be looking at Thailand and Vietnam instead.

I have to also add… Those managing the ITIS (Integrated Traffic Information System) should really get a good grip of what’s happening…

1km? I am sure it’s longer…

The radio mentioned that the jam stretches all the way back to Klang… That’s definitely more than 1km! In fact, it’s more like 10km!

Yes, that’s how far Klang is (far left). I was on the other end (top right).
