Why so heartless to fine them RM2000 or sentence them up to six months' jail?


 (20+) SJ Echo - Posts | Facebook

        What wrong did these peddlers commit to warrant a fine of RM2000 for selling or buying at traffic light junctions? 

        Sometimes, out of empathy, I would buy a bottle or two although I would never eat them straightaway until I have washed the contents thoroughly. 

        These young entrepreneurs are willing to work very hard to just earn a living. We may not know their family circumstances but the very fact that they are willing to work under extreme weather conditions tell us that they need the money for survival.

        Hence, I cannot understand why a law has to be passed to stop such peddling. While I can understand that the traffic light junction is dangerous for such activities, to fine them RM2000 or put them in jail for six months is simply heartless.  

        In fact, the lawmakers who passed such a law should consider looking up a suitable location where they can do their trade. Why isn't the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperative not doing anything about such people? 

        This leads me to the next question. Why were the Members of the Opposition fined RM3000 when the same laws were not applied to the elites?

For your convenience, this is the article from SJ Echo: 
The next time you want to sell or buy preserved fruits or any food being offered and sold at and along traffic light junctions, think again.
Subang Jaya police have issued a reminder that it is an offence to do so. Both seller and buyer can be fined a maximum of RM2,000 or be jailed no more than six months for the doing so.
JUAL BELI DI PERSIMPANGAN LAMPU ISYARAT
Membeli dan menjual produk di persekitaran lampu isyarat adalah menjadi satu kesalahan, aktiviti perniagaan ini bukan sahaja membahayakan penjual, tetapi juga pengguna jalan raya yang lain.
Bukan sahaja penjual tetapi pembeli juga akan berdepan dengan hukuman yang sama iaitu denda tidak melebihi RM2000.00 atau penjara tidak melebihi (6) bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali jika didapati bersalah.
Seperti yang telah termaktub dalam Kaedah-kaedah lalu lintas jalan 1959[LN 166/1959], kesalahan di bawah Kaedah 10 (A)(1) Menjual dan Kaedah 10 (A)(2) Membeli, tiada urusan jual beli dibenarkan di persimpangan jalan atau di atas mana-mana jalan raya.
Sehubungan dengan itu Bahagian Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik IPD Subang jaya menasihati peniaga agar mencari lokasi perniagaan yang lebih bersesuaian manakala pembeli jangan merisikokan diri membeli produk yang dijual di persimpangan lampu isyarat.

Welcome to Jalan Palestin....

Image
  The hue and cry over the Palestinian issue now is nothing but a hype created by propagandists who try to discredit Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.          This renaming of Jalan Raja Laut 1 to Jalan Palestine, was in fact during former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin's era. He was PM from  1 March 2020 – 16 August 2021.  The above article written by Ida Lim was dated Sunday 27 Sept 2020.           In October 2023, former prime minister Dr. Mahathir had given his 100% support towards Hamas. Why was there no big brouhaha over this in the past, and why only now?                    It is also obvious that this Hamas issue has brought together three political enemies in 2023 - Dr Mahathir, Muhyiddin Yasin and Mat Sabu -- but why was there no hype over it? Why everyone is so worked up now but not back then? It's because some cybertroopers are working round the cloc...

Singaporean commentator: "Anwar is making all the right decisions"

Image
  Malaysians may not heard of Mr Loo Cheng Chuan but he is no stranger to Singaporeans. He is the founder of the 1M65 Movement — the movement to hit $1 million by age 65 — through which he teaches investment strategies to those faithful to this million-dollar goal. By optimising the use of his and his spouse’s CPF funds, he has since updated their goal to be 4M65 — with an eye on 5M65. He achieved multi-millionaire status at the age of 50

Exercise some critical thinking before accusing Hannah Yeoh or the Selangor State Government of nepotism

Image
29 May 2024  A lot of people have been asking me about this case, here is my answer: DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? A poster like this which is already in circulation is a tell-tale sign that this is part of a plot to cause the collapse of the Madani Government.  THE WORD ‘NEPOTISM’ has been stretched too far that I find it incredulous to hear people saying anyone married to a minister should not be given a government contract.           By definition , ‘nepotism’ means “the unfair practice of granting jobs and favours to relatives, often in business and politics.”           That was the reason I did not think that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should bow to pressure from unreasonable people when her daughter, Nurul Izzah was willing to take up a non-paying job to assist her father in the Ministry of Finance (MOF).           Nurul would have done a good job to ensure that all the...
