In fact, it is the way to go and more and more newer and modern cars are fitting them as standard. They are brighter, use less voltage and lasts much longer than the normal yellow halogen lamps. Think of it as the compact energy-saver flourescant light for cars. However, installed wrongly may cause unnecessary glaring to other drivers, which is the common case with those modded cars. The ones fitted as std by car manufacturers are 100% legal and safe. If you want to install HID, go ahead. As long as you comply with JPJ std, there's perfectly no way for you to get into trouble for having HID, unless if the polis become mengada like these JB polis who wants our country to keep on rotting in the international arena, although by legal right and law, you'll be perfectly fine. smeagroo Says:

We should expect a lot of policemen having no or negative salaries but debts to pay. The entire police force would disappear overnight. The country will be paralyzed by massive traffic jams since one wrong gesture of the hand on the part of the traffic policeman would mean a deduction from his salary. “Under such circumstances when they are in the wrong it is only fair that they have a compensation fund derived from a monthly deduction of their salaries to reimburse the victim That will make them to be more diligent, accountable and careful.”

Reading between the lines there must be some heated arguments and the police made use of their power and the law. I will not empathize with the Singaporean if he has behaved arrogantly and knowing well he is in a foreign country. The Singaporean police would have done the same to any Malaysians under the same circumstances if my assumption on the circumstances is correct. We cannot compare ourselves to those Big Shots because we all know there are two set of laws in this country and it is accepted by our top guys. Precedents had already established this facts of life in this country but to what level we can accept it is left to the individual. However coming back to our Malaysian police, very often they made mistakes in issuing wrong summons (purportedly for speeding), wrongful arrest and detention or even death at detention. Imagine the plight of the victim who for no reasons are at the least inconvenienced, waste of time and expenditure and the worst endure the pain of loosing love ones. Under such circumstances when they are in the wrong it is only fair that they have a compensation fund derived from a monthly deduction of their salaries to reimburse the victim That will make them to be more diligent, accountable and careful. We must start this campaign of equal responsibilities and burden so that when we are in the wrong we are being fined but there must be some remedy when they are in the wrong.

1) our barbaric ministers wanted to forcefully build a half-crooked bridge to singapore

2) the latter was then accused of cheating the royal ancestors

3) and now they are given such harsh treatment knowing darn well they are tourists to this country

… and why not? the minister from that state once declared the concept of Bangsa Malaysia is forbidden even though we are ALL Malaysians born and raised (and some of us even contributing to) in this country!

Correct me if i’m wrong but weren’t you all talking about arrogance and not how great/significant your country is..

In my posting there is no mention of "justice" or "bias" - only the similarity in behavior of Americans in the early 60s and Singaporeans today. Nobody is implying anything like people treating Malaysia as their backyard to do as they please should be denied justice etc. Nobody says that all Singaporeans are these and all Malaysians are those. Nobody here would be so stupid as to suggest that. We are just making our personal observations of those we have been fortunate or unfortunate to have interacted with. Are you hearing voices in your head that we need to know? Kurakurap,

Some comments here are just sweeping statements eg: all Singaporeans are arrogant. I have so many Singaporean friends who are so much more well behaved and humble compared to SOME rich Malaysian kids friends I have who studied overseas. So these arrogant Malaysian who return home should be "punished" by intransparent justice? If Singapore is not in the Map of Southeast Asia, SEA will not be not even be as significant as it is, not to say it is very significant nowadays...... Singaporeans are loud? Have you seen enough mainland Chinese? So Mr Godamn Singh, you are implying if someone treats a country as a backwater compared to his, he should be denied proper justice and be biased against?

Sometimes people like the police behave in the same manner as you treat them and perhaps in this case the guy may have been overly rude. We simply don't know all the facts of the case and what actually transpired. Regarding tinted glass, I think the matter is easily resolved if the tinting rules are amended so that cars from other countries are required to have tints that are legally allowed in their own countries and that would settle the tourism problems.
