rectifying the shooting of the 15 year old kid incident

Media played a huge part in getting the shit all mixed up.A criminal law student who read the police report of the witness of that incident said that the boy was wrong.He got a call to go get someone so he stole his mum's car which was already an offence and when the police were notified of the stolen vehicle,they went after him and he must have panicked and drove off really fast and apparently,he hit a motorcyclist and later jumped a few red lights.The police had to do something coz the kid was out of control.When the police shot the tire of the vehicle,he didn't stop.Instead,he drove off really fast.Of course,jumping red lights is a big no no coz accidents happen at junctions where the traffic lights are posted to avoid the accidents from taking place.IF the boy HAD read up the laws of driving he SHOULD have known that driving without a license is a major offense and endangering the public is definitely an offense.

UNFORTUNATELY.......the police HAD to do something to protect the public so he shot the driver WITHOUT knowing that the driver was a minor.

I kinda thought something was wrong in the news.Of course,the whole issue about the boy being a minor could have easily been manipulated.And NO,there was NO parang in the car.MAYBE the people who were involved with boy were the ones who put the parang in the car.Nobody knows.

Underage driving is an offense.
Stealing a car is an offense.
Running down innocent people is an offense.
Jumping red light(s) is an offense.
NOT pulling over when the police tell you to is an offense.
Endangering the public by driving recklessly is an offense.

I'm sorry that the kid had to die that way.It was unfortunate.

why JAWI?

Strange if it stands for Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan.......not sure what half of the acronyms stand for anymore these days.Especially things pertaining to religious departments.Well,I sure am the same old lost KL-lite I've been all this while.I seriously thought JAWI was on Jalan Ampang only to realize (and foundout) that the weird shaped building on that road is actually Tabung Haji..........

Anywho,we made it to JAWI thanks to Shu.Memo this,upon submitting the nikah forms,both,bride and groom (to-be) MUST be present.According to my jurunikah ,the wali was supposed to be present as well back then.Oh yeah,and we had to pay MYR25.Not sure what for but I didn't think they would have accepted credit/debit cards :/

Shu and I were giggling and later laughing at the faces of the officers in charge when they read all 3 of our forms.We all share the same house address.Well,Shu is after all staying with me at my place and we were told that it is best to keep our addresses within the district to make things easier.I suppose it would be easier for them AND us coz otherwise,they'd have to contact the Terengganu state authorities to process our papers.

Still......we submitted our forms early by about 5 weeks or so.I'm paranoid when it comes to bureaucratic shit.It could go wrong at the very last minute and then cause us more problems later on.Well,we made it anyways.

P.S. I was asking Shu is Islamic architectures were supposed to have pathways and signboards that leads nowhere.Just a thought........
