how much will it be officer?

Posted under: Value @ 2:29 pm

i got a little chat with a policeman this morning in kuta.
police? what happened?
i ran over red light. and yes a chat to get everyone’s life easier.

i smiled to my boss knowingly. haha. kuta policemen. i hope i did not imply that all kuta policemen are like that. no. but sadly to say, many of them. they love to stop foreigners riding motorbike and/or driving a car and point out mistakes that sometimes not even there. yap. for money. this is no longer a secret.

well my boss did a mistake, ran over a red light. but look at the way they handle it! they processed it on site and yep for money without any receipt. my oh my. my boss being an expatriate who has been living for almost 2 years in indonesia pretty knew that it would cost him much more if he insisted the case to be processed in *formal way*. my.

i was more than once involved in informal conversation where bribery and under the table money exercises were discussed openly between by foreigner bosses and i. Being the only indonesian in our office, i could do nothing but felt so ashamed. my beloved country. *sigh*

but then one day, my boss came from moscow and told me how he bribed one of the airport personnels so that he could bring out 500 grams of caviar. the law prohibits people to bring more than 475 grams of caviar from russia. hehehe. i was amazed. it was his first trip ever to moscow. he did not speak russian. risky … but also was amazed that such under the table exercise happens anywhere in this world.

still, though it happens everywhere, does not mean such exercise is okay? no?

Gue inget temen cewek gue naik motor melawan arus lalu lintas, dicegat polisi dan mo ditilang. Karena doi lagi kesel dan buru2, dia malah marah2 sama polisinya, “Ya udah, cepetan deh tilang gue, ga usah ngasih ceramah! buru2 nih gua!”
Polisinya bingung…..tp doi tetep kena tilang, tp puas udah marah2 ama polisi…he he

nana ..::hahahahahah superb!!!!!

lokasi: prapatan teuku umar-marlboro. setting: satu sore nan cerah ceria. insiden: ngelanggar lampu merah.

gue: nih * nyodorin 50ribuan *
polesong: yg pas aja mbak, gak ada kembalian * gila ya tilang menilang kayak beli kacang ajah *
gue: yo wis, tunggu dulu saya mo beli rokok * ngeloyor ke warung terdekat trus balik nyodorin 20ribuan *

20ribu sih masih keitung mahal buat polis di sini tapi sutralah, gue sendirian gituh.

polesong: kok segini doang?
gue: yey bapak, kan tambah senyum plus doa. bapak kudu bersyukur dong, saya ngedoain bapak?
polesong: * nyerah *

sometimes, unfortunately, this kinda exercise is necessary… BUT it can make you sooo pissed, when you want something, u try to bribe the ‘person’, then someone else who wants the same thing challenges you with more $, and you broke as hell

nana ..::hihihihihihihihihihi double jeopardy
