society is like this

let me share a story of this realistic ge yan incident...

where you live, wat car u drive, wat brand of wallet, bag you carry, how rich you are
all above are maybe mostly 90% how outsiders rate you

nov 17 late midnight went for supper with s, jh at bukit timah (though we have sch/attachment later)
after the late supper, drove back to jurong west, a estate near jh's place for a short smoke n chat (about 15mins)
time was about 250am

5mins later, 4 policemen came down from a multi storey carpark (walking, not driving)
abit weird as they didnt drive, they walk pass us, 2mins later, 2 of them walk back and check our IC. ask us come from where, we said bukit timah supper, AL Azhar eat Prata, the police trying not to laugh. (because abit irrelevant? we are fun)
glance our name and address asked us where we live, blk wat.
so S trying to li siao "er...no blk... er.. unit xx westwood"
jh said blk xxx, and i said westwood
they glance the IC less than 3seconds and became 'relax'
so we joke with them...(that malay policeman was very 'relax' n 'ge yan')
i asked "where ur car?"
he replied "car spoil" (obviously corking)
so we laughed and said "huh spoil, want long-bang anot?"
he said "nevermind la dont need" (actually they are pityful doing such job, patroling multi-storey carpark by foot, and his face was sweating)
we say westwood, they see westwood, they became relax and nice.

4 of them left the estate (walking).
10mins later 2 of them drove and came back(dont know from where).

they checked on us again, we laughed and they laughed.
(can see that they doing for show maybe to the headquaters)
so i asked "eh u say car spoil?"
malay police A said "repair already... i also technician (dam funny)"
malay police B standing behind him give us funny joker face (even more ge yan)

this time more serious, ask us to show IC again, and as usual wrote down our IC.

funny part was, i went closer to take a look.
that joker policeman wrote our particulars on a leaflet (those that hdb letter box always have)
did the usual procedure of calling back headquater for reference of our IC.

he ask for our keys to check(for show only, if really wan check bring back laboratory already, how to check using eyes like that?) he said there are reports of ppl using keys vandalising the cars in the carpark.
so we "oh... laugh and said, we not so lame do this type of things waste time, we rather go eat supper and chat"

this is the part when my mind started to think the cruel sad things.
as he checked our IC, he said " westwood (s and me) why come here, very fishy, dont come here, here alot cases and troubles" (was thinking westwood cannot come hdb estate?)
we replied "friend(jh) live here ma"

he checked with headquaters and he said headquarters ask them to take photo of us
this is funny (can see that he dont want to take but it's for show for the headquarters)
he took out a hp and took picture of us 1 by 1, and we gave funny faces (really can see that he is doing for show, they laugh and laugh and walked off)


i believe the above situation would be something very different, not so 'relax' style, unable to joke with them, more fierce as a police officer, suspecting us, have the mindset of us being the culprits
if
we are using motorbikes as vehicles or even no transport
our IC stated are HDB blk xxx #xx-xx
worse still, wat sch? no sch or ITE?

see...... life is like this.
police road blocks or normal check up like this
the tone of them....changed when they see your IC with some private address........

they see our IC, westwood, their mindset will think that we good citizen
sorry to check on us, 'scared' to cause misunderstanding/troubles
so many cases of such things, always the same
i have more real life stories to prove

not trying to be hao lian or looking down on others
but this is a fact on such little extra 'advantages' in life
