I paid off Malaysia Police officer


i was driving up to immigration during Malay new year of 2006 and this is a road on the country side where there are many small town around. As usual, i was driving a little faster than usual(80km/hr), and i sortof enjoying the music i had on and there aren't many car around. thinking back of my head, it's warning me that story about malay police usually work extra hard during the malay new year and needing more money than usual for the wifes and kids. Story of malay police will usually round up all the car in the high way in the middle of the road and wanting to give tickets to everyone. ( It happened to me a few time over the year!) it doesn't matter either you have overspeed, underspeed, regular speed, illegal over taking, orderly over taking, run red light, run green light or run yellow light! it's all the same during this sort of situation! get a ticket or pay up! Number of time i thought of filming the incident but when you look at flock of police officer blocking the road and asking for money then we better pay up!

anyway, this time when i saw the police road block then as one experience driver in malaysia and i know how to take care of this situation like obedience driver.
i quickly said: tolon(mispell for meaning please give me a chance)!
so as one very experience police officer as he is, he gently reply and put his hand inside the car thru the window: How?
immediately i reach in to my wallet and pulled out $20 ringgit (US$5) and put into his hand: telemakasa! (Thank you!)
