i received this text from a close friend of mine Miss MA "real name undisclose" yesterday morning,
:) it goes like this:
"Salam Marteen n (another BFF of mine Miss R), sorry to disturb you, just want to seek for your legal advise, my driving license will expire tomorrow, and this morning i couldnt renew at JPJ due to "outstanding JPJ summons" in year 2006 which i already settled by attending the court in 2007, i'm still waiting for JPJ to call me to update the status, but u know how the govt. staff do their work..until now they can't solve it, they give a reason - maybe the documents were missing during the JPJ office relocation from Seberang Jaya to Bukit Jambul, my question here, can i go and report to any party for example PDRM, coz i dont think they can settle by tommorrow, and i need to drive here and there, this is for my safety reason, either to avoid another summon because of not renewing the license or in case of accidents while driving. pls advise"
and i say.. man.. what a long text to type.. i Totally understand how she felt.. my friend,a very responsible law abiding citizen.. i seriously dont know what to reply to her.. because i dont think JPJ will keep documents such as receipts and stuff.. they just dont put things into archive.. not just them, but most of the department i know dont have special fire proof/whatever proof room to keep things like this, i have work with these people, i know.. when i was working with the developer, some authorities (to be exact, some people in the authority department) kept asking me for plans because they couldnt find it, maybe misplaced or totally gone.. just like that) mind you, plan printing is costly.. and for developers, approved plans are priceless.. and we have a vault to keep them, because my ex-boss use to tell me that we could never rely on other people to keep these documents for us.. he was right, when one of the councils office i was dealing with was caught in flood, all the important documents were totally damaged.. it is natural disaster but what are the preventive measures taken? NONE..
but i think hospitals are excluded, Alwi used to deal with them for old documents and they still have it.. so KUDOS Health Ministry, keep up the good work, and i think you should start thinking of archiving things in digital form, isnt that more space saving???
i asked Miss MA, how does she renewed her license last year because it was a 2006 summon? and surprisingly she had no problem with that last year renewal.. isn't that crazy? why is this dinasour age summon suddenly pop up out, off nowhere? Lucky that Miss MA did keep the receipt... so she had to deal with less problem the next day.. God Bless you buddy...
the conclusion here is:
Never trust anyone (in this case the agencies.. government, TNB..bla..bla because my electrical bill suddenly hike up to rm400, with a "tunggakan" and i paid every month.. and this crazy ASTRO suddenly block my smart card, i paid them 2 weeks ago.. what is going on with everyone?) especially when it involves paying for bills/summons/taxes u name it.. KEEP whatever proof you could in a special file.. so you wont be caught in trouble.. because they just love to give us that..
