wooo.. tengok. kalau JPJ tak hebatkan penguatkuasaan, inilah keadaannya. rakyat asing pandu kenderaan tanpa insurans dan road tax. kalau kena accident, mangsa rugilah!! nasib baik JPJ sekarang sudah aktif… Bagus!!!
This is like cancer and it has been decades so not easy to remove. Continuous enforcement is necessary to make things in order for the benefit of rakyat. Good job JPJ, keep it up. Never stop.
kesian warga asing ditindas penguatkuasa
bila penguatkuasa tak mengambil tindakan yg cukup tegas ke atas warga asing yg melanggar undang2 negara ini, nanti ada pulak org yg cakap bahawa rakyat tempatan yg kena tindas
thanks to government policy, we are also dumping ground for unwanted citizens from other countries, so sampah cars suit sampah rakyat like ours.
These foreign workers come here to do jobs which most local citizens consider to be too difficult, too dirty and too dangerous. Not only just rubbish collecting; there are also what local citizens consider to be difficult, dirty & dangerous jobs in plantations, construction, factories & other sectors. These foreign workers are not leaving anytime soon when many local citizens choose to work in an air-conditioned comfortable office environment.
