Some of my colleagues were late today. Reason traffic congestion cause by roadblocks.. again, but not as bad as on Monday.
Last night on the way back home, I saw a police roadblock at the Cheras-Kajang highway, at the toll plaza (RM1 toll), near Phoenix Plaza, KL bound.

Avoid KL Today: Planned Protest @ Parliament
Traffic report on Federal highway towards KL, jam due to police roadblock at Kota Darul Ehsan, near UH all the way as my eyes can see from Amcorp mall.
My colleagues are all complaining about the traffic congestion today. Normal days the traffic jams are bad, and today with the police road blocks the situation is made worst, even to a standstill. So today we can thank the police for contributing to the traffic standstill.
Sorry my picture is not clear. Taken at the traffic light intersection from Federal highway / Amcorp Mall @ 6:35am.
Screen capture from ITIS... around 12:57pm
Its before 5pm. what a 'black' day for motorist today. Even the sky is crying.

Petrol Dealers Protest
I am still able to pay for my petrol today using my credit card.
Received an sms from my colleague this morning, saying that her friend informed her that petrol kiosks will close on Thursday for 8 hours to protest the fuel price hike.
I asked the attendant manning behind the cashier counter, if they are going to stop accepting credit payment for fuel. She said "maybe, soon".
Personally I feel it will be tough for me as I am used to paying for petrol using my credit card, as I do not have to worry about carry enough cash around with me everytime I have to fill up the car.

The Facts - YB Lim was asked to see a complaint by the residents in Kampung Lapan that there were steel lying on the ground near Tun Tuah school. There were some residents together with YB Lim. And guess what? YB Lim was arrested. For? I was told investigated and jamin mulut under section 440 of the Penal Code. That section states:
440. Whoever commits mischief—
(a) while taking part in an unlawful assembly or in a riot; or
(b) having made preparation for causing to any person death, or hurt or wrongful restraint, or fear of death, or of hurt or of wrongful restraint,
shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to five years, and shall also be liable to a fine.
