Last week we came to know that we can pay outstanding traffic summons at a 50% discount from 29th to 31st January. I didn't think much about it because I thought I didn't have any summon that I haven't paid. I usually pay up whatever summons as soon as I received it through the registered mail.
A few days later, my friend and I were at the UTC to pay our bills. My friend wanted to check if she has any outstanding summon at the PDRM (police) stall. Since we were there, I too submit our cars' registration numbers to be checked. To our disappointment, we both have outstanding summons to pay. How come we didn't receive these summons through the registered mail? My friend and I decided to pay on the first day i.e. 29th January (Tuesday).
Waiting for my friend to pick me up at 8.30 am.
We were given numbers 143 & 144. Seats, air coolers and free mineral water were provided for customers to sit comfortable under tents. While waiting for our numbers to be called, we made new friends with those sitting next to us.
Everything was going smoothly until the server system crashed at the headquarter level.
We didn't know how long we have to wait. For those who have questions, they can approached the officers concerning issues with summons or any police issues. It was the police meeting with their clients special day.
We were encouraged to check out the various stalls e.g. items on display, get some free medication and eyes checkups, etc.
Instead of just sitting and waiting, we decided to take a walk to check out the stalls.
I got interested in these. A giant bike and a dwarf bike.
I have to wait for other interested onlookers to disperse before I could take these snapshots.
After waiting for about an hour, the server system was finally working again. Good thing we waited and didn't go home or else we will have to return the next day. In no time, our summons were discounted and paid up.

We were looking forward to lunch because we didn't have any breakfast.
My friend's hubby joined us for lunch and he suggested Restoran Fu Lim.
Flavourful soy sauce thinly sliced pork belly with garlic.
Sweet potato leaves with sambal belacan (spicy prawn paste).
Tilapia fish cooked in clay pot.
A delicious meal for 3 people.
Ability to give wise advice satisfies like a good meal!

#1 - Gate
#2 - Gate and fence.
Linking to Good Fences.
Our Traffic Police Department here also always long queue
ReplyDeleteIt is better to quickly settle the outstanding summons.
DeleteGood to pay up at discounted rate but the queue discouraged. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great relief to settle the summon.
DeleteWow, the discount is good so too many people go pay up until the server cannot stand the huge amount of load until it crashed. Luckily they got it up again and you can pay up so your effort of waiting is not wasted. All 3 dishes are so flavourful!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I think so too!
DeleteWell, what an eventful day! At least it ended with a good meal :)
ReplyDeleteHope no more summons!
Deleteantique motor bike..and delicious foods.
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Thank you, Tanza!
DeleteWhy does it not surprise me that the system went down when there were so many people, sometimes i think even computers can get overwhelmed, or at least overheated.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice bikes and very pretty gates.
System overloaded! Lol!
DeleteLove
ReplyDeleteThank you, Regine!
DeleteGood morning Nancy. Interesting blog today. The food that you showed today were very tasty. We have talapia once a week and my wife really enjoys it. See ya.

Thank you, Paul!
DeleteThat’s good to hear discounts for traffic summons! It seems discounts are there throughout the year these days for whatever we purchase. Glad the server works soon for you to not come back again. Govt. servers always crack here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fence and gate!
Thank you, Jeevan!
DeleteBuena tarde. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!
DeleteAll that hard work to pay your fines and then you were rewarded with a wonderful lunch. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee! It was a nice reward. Lol!
Delete...what a colorful little motorbike.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom!
DeleteI am intrigued as to what these summons were for. Perhaps parking violations?
ReplyDeleteWe call them traffic tickets here in Texas. The last one I had was over 10 years ago. They are pricy....I think the average is over $100 and my last one was $300! I was speeding in a work zone. Maybe that's the reason I don't get many tickets. They cost too much!
Yes, they are traffic tickets and very pricey.
DeleteIt seems more like a party than paying summons! Now you know I must ask what your summons was for...speeding maybe...
ReplyDeleteIt was a speeding summon. Lol!
DeleteThe food is just wonderful and super delicious! the motorbike is very unique design. I like it!

Thank you, dear!
DeleteThat first shot is quite moody.
ReplyDeleteThe day started with a moody sky and later turned hot.
DeleteInteresting way to get people to pay their fines! But really they needed to be considerate since obviously they made an error in not sending out notices.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why our traffic tickets were not sent to us. Usually they do.
DeleteThank you, Francisco!
ReplyDeleteYour blog presents something new every time. Great going !
ReplyDeleteThank you, Uppal!
DeleteI enjoyed seeing your street pictures.
ReplyDeleteWith respect to food - I was mostly surprized with the potato leafs, I would like to try them!
The potato leafs when tender is very nice to eat. Happy weekend!
DeleteGood thing you managed to pay the summons and get it over with, not a pleasant thing to have to do. Having the system down is such an annoyance and it happens ALL the time.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we stayed on or else we will have to go back the next day and waited again.
