Couple of days ago during lunch, some expats colleagues in my office were discussing about traffic offences. Some of them were worried they might have committed traffic offences & will face difficulty leaving the country later.

So, I provided them a link (www.rilek.com.my) to check. Since most of the guys were busy checking, I didn't miss the chance, I too, keyed in my vehicle number. Tot I might have input wrong info, so I switched to NRIC instead of vehicle number during the 2nd attempt.

My, my, my...to my greatest surprise, there's indeed an outstanding traffic ticket. Details as such:

Date of Offence: 18 June 2004 at 15:43 pm
Issued by: KL (PDRM)
Description: Traffic Obstruction
Amount: RM70

I was really scratching my head when I saw that piece of info. Was checking the calendar & it was a working Friday. Checked my leave schedule, I was working on that day. Checked my diary, I was in my office & had a meeting at 2 pm. Traffic obstruction? Parking at my office designated parking bay considered as traffic obstruction????

Did I lend my car to someone? Definitely not coz I'm very particular about others using my car... For sure I wasn't the one committed the offence coz I had emails sent out after my meeting at 3 pm & last one sent was at 4.37 pm...strong alibi isn't it????

Wow! It's really efficient of PDRM...until now, am still wondering how possible it is to commit a traffic offence when I'm in office! As far as I know, PDRM is normally very prompt & diligent for issuing a registered letter to the offender informing on the oustanding offence. It's coming to a year now but nothing so far.

I always tot PDRM/JPJ will stop renewing driving license if there's oustanding summons(es). Yes? No? But I renewed mine last month & it was done in less than 5 mins!

Wonder if I will have the honor to bring up my case to the committee so that it can also be included in the 500-page of police report?????
