This happened about 6 months ago. I was at the Summit Complex. The parking ticket dispenser was not working and an attendant was dispensing the tickets manually. After I parked my car, I realised that the parking ticket was missing.
Either I was not given one at the entrance or I lost it.
I quickily went to the attendant to explain my situation and asked him for another. He ignored me. I asked again a few times. Finally he said, “Berapa you mahu bayar?”
Thinking that I heard wrongly, I asked, “Apa?”
Then he said, “Saya pun cari makan juga.” I gave him a piece of my mind there and then and walked away to finally find the ticket in my wife’s wallet. Phew!
The thing is if even a parking attendant speaks “that language,” you know there is a serious problem out there.
Transparency International’s corruption perception index for 2009 for Malaysia is not unexpected and is not surprising at all. But at a score of only 4.5 out of 10 and ranking of No. 56 is shameful. Memalukan. We are closer to F*ckistan than we will ever want to admit.
