Rear seat belt.......to fasten or not?

Boy oh boy.......effective 1 January 2009, whether you like it or not, you need to fasten the rear seat belt, or else you will be summoned! The authority said that the public have been given ample time to adapt and it is our fault if they are still being stubborn and refuse to buckle up behind!

Until June 2009, you will be fined RM 300 if you are caught not fastening your belt at the back, after that it will be RM 2000 or a year jail or both!!!! Wow, the authority really means business this time.

If the authority is THIS serious towards Mat Rempit, many of us would just kept quiet and respect whatever the authority wants us to do! Sadly, it is not the case, after so long the authority still has no clue on how to handle the Mat Rempits, giving every excuse that they can think of! The Mat Rempits still rule the road, we are still at their mercy! What the authority does?????? Closed one eye !!!!!

Please correct me if i am wrong, i understand that buses are exempted from this ruling! I really don't know what type of study the authority did but the last time i checked, many fatals accidents invloved buses. If the intention is to save life, why buses are exempted from this ruling?????

Talking about buses, wouldn't it nice if the authority take time out and drives along the North-South Highway and see how fast our buses can go! Wouldn't it better the ever-so-busy enforcement officer spend their time stopping and fining those buses for speeding instead?

I am sure the new ruling was placed with noble intention but the problem here is whether the authority set their priority right???? RM 2000 for not buckling up behind but kept quiet about Mat Rempits really annoyed many people! There are so many bus drivers with numerous summonses still driving on the road but our enforcement officers are busy summoning us for not buckling up behind????

Ok, I will buckle up behind ( i dont have RM 2,000 to spare) but Dear Authority, tell us what are you going to do with Mat Rempits???? What are you going to do speeding buses??? What are you going to do with those bus drivers who have being summmoned times and again???? Please tell us, please!
