Police Pao
-
I have been in Malaysia for about five years now.
-
Of course, I have a lot of experiences with the police. We meet quite often.
-
When I go out, I am almost always stopped by the police.
-
But thank God, we are sometimes let go.
-
This is because I convince them to release me by giving them "money for drinks".
-
The least amount I have given so far is 50 ringgit.
-
Then I am released.
-
But these days, sometimes they won't accept 50 ringgit.
-
But when you plead and beg, some will give in and accept that too.
-
Whenever they see Indonesians, they will surely stop you.
-
And if you don't have driving license or permit, they will ask for RM 100.
-
Obviously, they make money this way.
-
A hundred here, a hundred there, another hundred there...
-
Wow they can easily make thousands!
-
I think government officers should be given high salary, so that they won't need to ask for this extra money.
-
That would be right.
-
It shouldn't be that only officers in the top positions earn lots of money.
-
So even though top officers give certain instructions, the lower-rank officers will not necessarily implement them.
-
How would you know?
-
Here Pao, there Pao...
-
Do you know what Pao is?
-
He doesn't know!
-
Pao?
-
Oh, Ang Pao!
-
He's an innocent guy!
-
He's an innocent guy! An innocent guy!
-
Pao, it's like...
-
If you want to be let off, give them money.
-
Oh yes, yes, that's right.
-
Corruption, right?
-
Yes, it's like that.
-
We were asked to go through the 6P process, so we did it truthfully.
-
But where's the proof? The process wasn't allowed to be carried out.
-
We were cheated.
-
Not just one or two of us, but thousands of Indonesians in Malaysia were cheated.
-
We all got cheated.
-
But the police did not investigate the matter or take any action against those who cheated us.
-
Whoever went through this process has an agent, but the police didn't investigate the agents.
-
It is as though they are letting the agents to continue to be irresponsible.
-
This is unfair.
-
This is the proof that I applied.
-
And for two years, this is the only thing I have.
-
I've put thousands into this. Now it's all torn.
-
The document is of no use to the police.
-
But I did it truthfully.
-
I did it truthfully, and I waited for two years.
-
Once, I was riding the bike back from work.
-
But the police, when they see Indonesian people, they will turn around and follow us immediately.
-
He asked me for my IC, my permit and my license.
-
I showed him this paper.
-
But he didn't want to accept it.
-
He wanted to take me to the police station.
-
At first, he asked for RM 1000.
-
I ended up giving him RM 2250.
-
Then he released me.
-
He even asked if I am sincere in giving him the money or not.
-
In that situation, at that time, of course I would say I am sincere even though I am not.
-
That is illegal money for him.
-
But even if we feel insincere in our hearts.
-
But because we are migrants...
-
Even though the police is doing this to us, we can only remain silent and...
-
We're scared to fight back.
-
Even though, they're not that smart.
