In the past when the Indo Government implemented the law on registering sim card before it can start to use. One will need to buy a sim, go to a certain "place" to register before one can start to use it. Today,what the governing body implemented earlier is now back to square one,hehehe....just a bit more expensive.

It's a token of appreciation which is well received, and I would lose that money anyway.

This is a good idea.

Those corrupted policemen patrol at night right looking for someone like me in company of a foreign girl, surely in the business, to milk the cow and make cash. I was trying to take a taxi on the street, but the police car was quicker than the taxi.

Recently,my cousin related an experience to me :
1. He drives to KL,and was something like being stopped by a police car during at a temporary check point.
2. Ask to open up his car booth (back of his car),he didnt go down the vehicle.
3. Few mins later ,he was free to go.
4. After driving about 5 mins, he felt strange (just a gut feel),so he drop off at the side road to double check his car booth and found a small package of "something" that wasnt his (he didnt open it up). He threw them away at the road side and continue his journey.
5. Another around 10 mins drive, a police car drive by him and he was ask to stop t a road side.
6. He was again ask to open up his car booth without leaving his vehicle. The policeman practically ransack his car looking for something.
7. They found nothing and let him go.
My cousin tells me the Malaysian police man could be looking for that "package" that he threw away in his car.
This incident reminds of the incidents that happens in Batam before (quite a handful number of times which was shared before). A guy got a wechat girl,brought her to his hotel, when the sunset came the room door knocking and when he opens up ,police spot check,hehehe...and found the drugs planted by the girl.
The rest of the story, i guess there is no need me for me to elaborate further,hehehe...
