DEAR FRIENDS

 

If you have ever paid or are thinking of paying 'Coffee Money' when stopped for traffic or other offences while in Malaysia, DON'T EVER Do This Again.

 

The Traffic Department (JPJ) has recently started a campaign to be rid of corruption. Every Officer on duty will be rewarded with RM100.00 if they report each case of bribery to the department.

 

This is how they do (trick you into) it. They will note down the details of your IC/MyKad, and ask you how you want to settle ("Macam mana nak selesai?")

 

If you indicate yes or even offer to give them any money, they will report the incident by rejecting your 'Kopi Money' and get the RM100.00 instead as an incentive for their integrity and "Honest" pubicity.

 

This means that you will end up having a summon issued to you and perhaps a charge for bribery.

 

SO DON'T PAY DUIT KOPI AGAIN, especially if you hope to go free with a lesser amount of money compared to the fine. Even if you want to pay over RM200, the JPJ Officers would rather have a 'good' name than to take your kopi money.

 

Just beware of their trick because the cops are now accumulating 'cookies' points for their promotion and pay increment - with your help if possible.

 

They should have done this to stop corruption long time ago... but anyway it's better late than never, right?

 

SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AROUND TO EDUCATE OTHERS ON THIS NEW ANTI-RASUAH POLICY! AND DON'T YOU DARE TO CORRUPT ANY JPJ OR EVEN POLICE OFFICERS AGAIN!

Don't think so, I just came back from Genting & I was caught for speeding at 159km/h.

 

The officer pass me his stack of paper for me to put RM50 in between & I was off the hook.

[Familymanz]

nay...old news.....

 

half of the convoy's buddies cough up stack of RM50 during our recent road trip to Cameron (the 2 lane carriage b4 Ayer Keroh OBR)

 

One of their classic comment to one of my buddy

 

"RM50.... settle here, save trouble"

[Carcraze]

It's not true and this has been clarified by the PC before.

[Albeniz]

So putting RM50 in the stack of paper is still the best practice.

[Ghostrider]

Be warn though....some hand over RM50 liao still kenna summon.

 

My friend kenna this before.

[Silver_blade]

Like someone else has said....it's old news and it's not true most of the time.

 

They still except coffee money. Some will still process the booking....but most will just accept the $$ and everything end there.

 

The more 'service-orientated' ones will give you tips of other block along the NS Highway (in other state) and wish you a good holiday with a smile.

Yah man.... I'm one of them... some more gave RM$100... then still kena the summon.

[Speddevil]

take $ still summon

[Rncw]

maybe they will take your kopi $$$ and also report you for corruption...earn both ways

[Naimster]

Make sure you're not the one to say out that you wanna offer kopi $$$. Make sure they asked for it from you. Then at least the police officer will not dare to report you for bribery cos it may land him in hot soup as well.

[Rickster]

Oh well, the general customer service i get in MY are better than SG, even their corrupted polis

[Knighthunter]

Onething to note is don't be yaya papaya when giving Kopi money and do it as discreet as possible if not you will get this double whammy.
