I was riding my motorbike, and I almost got myself fined by the police. I was riding a motorbike, and I took the wrong lane. I can see the police officer stood there, and another bike followed me too. Well, you know where this is going… money… but no, I said to myself, I’m not gonna give any money.

So, when he stopped me and the other bike, I immediately apologize, and said that I got confused about which lane that I suppose to take, because I usually drove a car. He held my license and motor registration and brought me to the nearest post, which just across the road. It was a main road where they had 12 lanes altogether. the other bike rider followed too.

Anyway, I came to the police post and apologize, and he asked me how we should settle this. I know what he meant was giving him the money directly. So he asked me if I would like to give him the money or go for a trial. Then I said, no sir, please give me the ticket i will go for the trial…

a bit stunned, he asked me are you working or what, then I said I’m a student hehehe… then he said, then it’s ok, since you apologized and know your mistakes, just don’t do this again, I’m not gonna give you a ticket, . So I thanked him and left hehehe.. i’m pretty sure that the other rider gave the police some money…

so, that’s a little encouraging story for the anti-corruption group…. small efforts can be made to start a big step. say no to corruption!June 2006
