Wrong Power for Wrong People






Another government car that used its power to get the 'easy way'.
Last night in Grand Indonesia mall at the parking lot where all 'regular' people are trying to find a free place to park their car, a free safe and right place. While this car, a Land Rover with a green-red plat number with 1 star on top of the 1277(or 88, I forgot)-00 number suddenly parked at the sideways on top of the pedestrians sidewalk. Maybe he gave some tip to the parking employee there, I have no idea. But, really..... how hard is it to park at the right place and not break any rules.

This is what's wrong with Indonesia.....?


This one is just for fun. I laughed when I saw this banner in Surabaya airport.
Notice the question mark (?) after the word 'Anda'??
What's that supposed to mean?

I guess the one who made this banner is taking the drugs and let it controls his life. LOL!
FYI, this one is made by the government! Prove much that even government people don't know Bahasa (or anything) that well.

Stupidity causing traffic jam



Notice the place?
It's the one of the city icons. "Gelora Bung Karno" or what we're usually called "Gelora Senayan". Do you know every now and then there are some events going in there? Car exhibitions, book exhibitions, wedding, concert, etc. Know what the events are causing? TRAFFIC JAM.
These two pictures are just an example.
You see, how many people want to come to the event? You see the cars queuing for the entrance? And yet... only 1 booth is opened!! What's happening with the place management?? Don't have money to pay one more person to open the 2nd booth? My God!

Yet another thing that causing the traffic jam. Can you see that after the queuing for the entrance, the road suddenly clear and no traffic at all? That is because the idiots who are driving the cars crowded those 3 lines of the road so they can slip in to get in faster (it's what they think) rather than using only 1 line for all the people who want to get into the Gelora and let the people who aren't interested drove by without causing any traffic jam. Those idiots really don't know that they are causing a bottleneck situation. Stupid stupid drivers.

One more, WHERE IS THE POLICE???

Highway My way





Here you can see cars driving on the 'emergency lane'. The annoying thing is, they usually honk you to tell you to move aside so they can pass your car. It is either they're too stupid to not know about the rules or they're too ignorant to care about the rules. But hey... polices do that too, you know.
In the 3rd picture, you see a man. This is the man who's driving the car in the 2nd picture. He honked few times and acted like our car which is on the wrong side of the road. If you see far right, you can see a cap with a government symbol on it. Well well well...

Seeing this a lot in Jakarta? Are you wondering what's wrong in the picture? If you are, then you must be at least have done it once. See the middle car with the 'A' plat number? He 's not in the right track. Why, you ask? See the mark below the car? Well, we're not supposed to pass by that mark.
Surprised? Well, study the rules again.
You should know by now that it's not only disturbing the traffic, but also dangerous for other people and if you care, for yourself.

Heyyy... this is one of my favorite. You can't see it clearly but I'll explain it to you.
See the police car? Yeah... the police parked the car at the HIGHWAY.

Doooohhh!! No wonder the citizens are all breaking the rules!

About Me

I'm a regular Jakarta citizen who love this country no matter how stupid the citizens are, how corrupted the people. The only thing I can't stand is just the government. I wish they all gone... gone to the last of their generation. Anyway, this blog is just to show (and hopefully teach something) how Indonesia works. Have a fun reading!
