[h=2]Ever seen a wayang show performed by our CISCO?[/h]
November 1st, 2012 |

My brother noticed something interesting a few weeks ago, but I never got
around to writing about it (sorry, I’ve just been really busy!)
A CISCO vehicle was parked very precariously along Upper East Coast Road, as
follows. I don’t know the traffic rules, but apparently this is illegal, and
kind of dangerous.
So my brother called the Police, who told him to call LTA, I think – who said
that they would issue a summon. I believe my brother even jokingly asked whether
they were really going to do anything about it, and asked if he should put
pictures on Facebook – to which whoever answered supposedly said, sure, carry
on, go ahead.
Well, my brother returned that night, and noticed that the Cisco vehicle had
reversed a little. But wait, there’s more! Can you see it?
There’s a traffic summons! Wow, Cisco is really on the ball, huh? But
wait…
Notice anything special about the summons? Let me get a close up:
Aiyoyo! Nothing on the slip! Wayang only! Now I’m curious – are all Cisco
officers allowed to have this kind of wayang summons? Is this a one-off case, or
is there a system of I-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine? I’m not personally
too bothered by this because I don’t drive, but I imagine a lot of Singaporean
drivers are going to have a lot to say about this one…

Editor’s note: We have emailed CISCO for comments on
this matter. We have also cc the email to LTA and AGC. Enforcement officers not
performing their duties to enforce traffic laws and showing favoritism:

Hi All,
My name is Richard Wan, Editor of TR Emeritus (www.tremeritus.com), a
popular sociopolitical news blog in Singapore.
A blogger, Visakan Veerasamy, has given us permission to publish his
report on an incident involving Cisco:
http://www.tremeritus.com/2012/11/01/ever-seen-a-wayang-show-performed-by-our-cisco/
Apparently, when comes to Cisco own vehicle which infringes on the laws,
Cisco own officers will not enforce it. Worse, it resorts to some sort of
‘trickery’ to pretend that it is “enforcing” (see pictures in article).
Would like to hear what Cisco/LTA/AGC going to say about the
matter.
Perhaps the AGC can advise if any laws were broken by Cisco’s
actions?
Thank you.
