Set my alarm to ring at 7.00am last night. Had a feeling I will be late if I do not set my alarm. Why? Because I have been crazy "planting crops" in my FaceBook... hahaha... I must not be late as I have to send a guest off to airport by 10am.
Upon reaching the Kuching International Airport, an unidentified 'policeman' came up to my car at the driver's side. Without saying anything He knocked real hard on my car's window. I got the shock of my life! As if that's not enough to shock me, He cant stop yelling in his mother tongue language 'Bahasa Malaysia'. I winded down my window, asked him politely what happen. He was still yelling 'DEPAN! PANDU DEPAN'. (it means DRIVE. DRIVE FORWARD) .. Oh, my car is not park straight.. I see. Then I look at this 'policeman' and turn to look to the front. Shucks! now how am I to move my car forward if there's a car in front of mine, and another nuisance guy yelling and hands moving up and down, pointing here and there ?? Geezzz..... now I am upset!
The car in front finally move a bit and I can move too.. Still, this man cant shut up. His gaze shows as if he is so in power. Chinese verbs : SIAU KAU PUI! (Meaning a crazy dog barking) Talking to us like trainers training their dogs. Window still down, I asked for his Identification card. I have to know who the heck is this Guy? Is he the Head of Police Unit? How could a policeman wearing the usual blue uniform has no police logo on it? Instead a YELLOW huge logo on the sleeve that cant be read. I got another shocked when he yell at me talking again in Bahasa Malaysia "TIDAK PERLU TENGOK! PANDU SAJA! TIDAK PERLU TAHU". Translate to English : "DONT NEED TO SEE! DRIVE! NO NEED TO KNOW"
With so much adrenaline building up inside me, I came out from my car . I look around for his face. Finally saw him standing some few feets away, chatting with his fellow colleagues and again full of ego. I waived him to come. He came. I said very loudly I am sorry if I wrongly parked. Offered my hand for a hand shake. He refused and feel very proud. But that idiot didnt even know I said it loudly in case he is partially deaf, just for the benefit of doubts. Who knows he yells so loud because he has hearing problem?
Then I spoke to him in the language that I am sure he understand. Bahasa Malaysia. Try talking to him in English, I think he'll get migraine . I told him to show some manners when talking to vehicle owners and do not ever knocked on windows so hard. It is rude and uncall for. While I was trying to get my message across to his head, he cant stop talking and complaining. Gosh! This is the kind of standard officers we can get here in Malaysia Boleh Land. They are not well versed in English language (they expect tourists who come to Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia to be able to converse in Bahasa Malaysia) , they are also obviously not well mannered.
I finally was able to shut him and his colleague (with a gun) up. I told them I PAY MY TAX. I WANT YOU TO STOP TALKING. I WANT TO TALK AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN GOOD. With that they both shut up.
I am contemplating to file an official complaint at the Kuching International Airport because this is not the first time this has happen to me. Many of my friends complaint of this sort of treatment from Kuching International Airport too. But Hey, guess what? There is no place to file a complaint. There is no website to do it either.
Again, they got away with harassment!
