Hohohoho ! Operasi Sikap is back again! And this time it will involve more than 6000 enforcement personnel. That sounds really cool and I think I know where the deployment is from (make a guess)…..hhehehe from KT. A day’s rest after the KT by-election, and all you fellas go back to your respective post out there along the highways. 
Fact is…I have never travelled on the ‘balik kampung’ trail and therefore has no idea how the operasi sikap operates. I can only imagine, and I can tell you it is one arena that I never lack. Here are some fine examples of how the operasi will take place (in my mind, of course…….errrh hypothetically speaking):
a. Road side posts. Ever seen the shabbiness of some road side post? They are in dire needs for upgrading. Hmmmh…that’s money, you know. I wonder….if the VVVVVIP did dish out a few contracts in KT for this purpose. I hope he does, then the KTgites Class F(ailed) will come flying and in the process accrued so many ‘samans’ that it will eventually make them pay back VVVVVIP for dishing out the contracts. Clever, ain't it?
b. Manning the posts in mosquitoes infested area. Wah! Our personnel is putting their personal health at great risk. The Chikungunya is still at large, not to mention Dengue as well. I heard they have ample supply of Morpiko to last for a year.
c. Most posts are elevated, making them easier to spot a car from a thousand kilometer away. And it gets slippery easily in the tropical rainforest of our country. Careful not to be over-enthusiastic about your work because you are likely to slip and fell. But you are unlikely to be as lucky as her, because all the firemen may also balik kampung. So take my advice, don't be too adventurous.
d. Alternatively, you may be allowed to stay on the ground if you are acrophobia. The chances are, you may end up hiding in hideous piers of overhead bridge/viaduct. This could be proven fatal too because insidious drivers in our country have a proven record of being reckless while on the highway. There are more imported cars these days, 0 to 100 km/hr in less than 2 seconds. These are about a trillion times faster than our national car.
e. Or, you may opt to drive in the patrol car if you have severe doubts on all of the above. You may be safe in the car but you are notoriously braking in the middle of highway thereby disrupting the flows of the normal traffic. Of course, you also need the out-riders to back up.
f. Now you have a second reason, not just radaring over-speeding. You now have the other alternative, the rear selt belters! Like it or not, you need to stop a car to find out. Chances are they belt up faster than you take off your sun glasses.
g. Of course, your ultimate aim is to keep the public on a safe drive home, knowing very well their bonuses will be deprived proportionally with your over-enthusiastic drive. I have a friend who got trapped 13 times from JB to Ipoh. Like to beat his record?
So tell me honestly, how many summons are you planning to issue?
Seriously, folks, nevermind about these people being over zealous in carrying out their duties. Drive with care and be home safely in time for the reunion dinner.
It is the Year of the Ox, so please don't knock down any cows!
