Kalau Penguatkuasa JPJ betul betul serious, memang banyak kes orang asing jadi pemandu kenderaan komersial. oleh itu kerja penguatkuasaan mesti kekal serious. tak boleh let go!.. bagus, kita ada nampak pembaikan dalam usaha penguatkuasaan. kekalkan sehingga penguatkuasa kita dihormati!..
thanks to government policy, we are also dumping ground for unwanted citizens from other countries, so sampah cars suit sampah rakyat like ours.
Foreigners came here to do dirty, difficult & dangerous jobs like collecting sampah, thanks to most local citizens who prefer easier, comfortable, predictable jobs..
does doing their 3D jobs require them to drive cars illegally ?
jpj did catch them for committing road transport related offences and probably these cases will be handed over to jim to see whether any of these offenders are in the country illegally. that’s the government’s policy concerning law enforcement. but what was it u had commented earlier about the government’s policy? was it something u said about sampah?
yes and the point still stands, gomen should vet strictly foreign entrants and migrants. doing 3D jobs does not give them the right to drive illegally on the road.
well, if u already agree that a government agency like jpj is catching foreigners who break our country’s laws in line with the govt’s policy, then don’t in the 1st place associate the govt’s policy with sampah..
