The Crazy City

Today as much as I expected, KL lites began to curse on their way to work as the whole of the City almost came to a standstill because of the gridlocked owing to the 20 point road-blocks manned by the City Police and Bukit Aman Traffic HQ. Although I was in no hurry to clock in, but the regular cab which I always travel when I had to keep an appointment at the Govt. Dental Specialist Clinic near Mydin superstore in downtown KL was also caught along the Federal Highway because he thought since Jalan Parlimen was impassable, he thought the best alternative was the Federal Highway. It seemed everyone did the same and possibly the Sprint Highway could have been better. What I failed to understand why did the authorities had to turn the KL lites victims of the gridlock every time a court order is pinned on the very premise where the rally is supposed to take place. How could they be so scared that the Parliament House would be brought down when the court order had declared a germ free zone within 5 kilometres radius? Is the disease so much worse than the black plague brought by someone who got his eyes blackened by an enraged Top Cop who also had the taste of Sungei Buloh's most sophisticated corrective centre which adopted the open concept but where RPK feared for his life when he refused bail. I just wonder how many hundreds of thousands of barrels of petrol must have been burned by the vehicles caught in the massive jams leading to the city notwithstanding the emissions of carbon monoxide that goes into the morning air which made the whole of KL Lites turning into zombies because they had seen this crazy repeats since March 08 this year. The culprit for this never seemed to learn a lesson and equally disappointing is the lack of will by the authorities in putting on their thinking caps so that others should not fall victim to this idiotic court orders which had to be pasted on to glasses and walls where the would be marchers had no chance at all to see. It should have been dropped from the sky by the ageing Nuris which fly low over their heads where I am sure that would make the protesters run helter skelter for cover because these flying coffins would drop any time on their numbskulls.
