New Implementations!

With the introduction of a more controled traffic management for traffic going towards Woodlands Checkpoint, I have anticipated more congestion along BKE until the viaduct. In other words, it should look like many ants trying to squeeze their way through woodlands checkpoint, satelite viewed.

When i join the 'ants' last week, it will surprisingly fast. The queue moved like a bunch of lubricated jelly on a plate and my foot is in fact off the brake pedal most of the time. It took me only 30 minutes to clear the causeway. (30 minutes is already considered fast. given the previous situation)

This brings me to my point when SG govn introduces something at checkpoint or in any other area, the most important task to handle is the implementation.

read - eem plee man tay sion....

Along the 'lubricated' and fast moving path, I counted the number of TPs and Cisco man there that directed the traffic. There was 12 of them. All serious looking and with a ready-to-kill attitude towards queue cutters. See, this is the only time im glad to see TPs. Normally i will immediately check my speed meter when i see TPs from my rear view mirror.

These people, in rain or shine, without fail, uses their most powerful hand in the world, to stop and release traffic in the most efficient manner. This is, the SG way.

Lets now look at MY way.... (not mine but Msia)

When they implement something, my reaction is always the same- Oh Shit.

Lets see.

White card - Up till the day before the re-introduction of the white card, custom officials in johor have no clue where the f**k are the stocks of the white cards. When I asked them for white card, they say the stocks are not in yet.

Petrol - Let us pump? We can't pump? Different price at the pump? Only allowed 50KM outside the pump? I am still able to pump.... Wonder how many local who owns foreign registered vehicle actually bot local registered car for 'petrol transfer' (if 50km rule is implemented) are cursing and swearing at the govn now...

Jam at JB custom - The traffic controllers are like M & Ms. You see them one day, you don't another day. I guess they are outsourced as they don't look like the local TP to me and i have no idea what traffic control training they have gone through because i don't f**king see them managing the traffic in any way.
