Have you gotten your subsidy?


This scene was spotted at 8am today. This queue, purposely blurred in this picture, was that of people lining up at the Setapak Post Office before it opened its doors. If you are wondering why these people were there as early as 7am, well, it certainly not because they were buying first-day covers.

No, they were waiting in line, documents in hand, to get their subsidy for bikes and cars - RM165 and RM625 respectively, remember?

So, have you gotten your money? From what the papers wrote, it seemed so easy to get the subsidy money. But heck, what I saw showed otherwise. According to news from TV and on the radio, queues were long because of the usual 'technical glitches' and technical breakdowns. So, what else is new?

Even the Pos Malaysia HQ experienced computer breakdown. And so with the Pos Malaysia outlets all over Malaysia. And tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, Sunday, Pos Malaysia will open its offices from 8am.

Crazy? Well, tell me about it!
