This is is very useful information. Please pass it on to your friends and family, especially the women folk!

 

The next time you are stopped by persons who claimed they are plainclothes police, you are under no obligation to answer their questions or follow their orders, lawyers told Malaysiakini today.

 

"Policeman who is not wearing his uniform does not have the authority to stop anyone," lawyer and human rights activist Sivarasa Rasiah said.

 

Sivarasa was commenting on the alleged gang-rape of an 18-year-old Uni student by four men claiming to be police officers on New Year's Eve. The girl said that her car was stopped in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur and were asked by the men to open the car bonnet. She was then told that she had committed an offence and ordered to follow the men to a police station. The girl was driven in her car along the North-South expressway to the Tapah-Cameron Highlands road before she was raped in an oil palm estate.

 

This incident, and many others, have sparked confusion over the procedures which motorists must follow when flagged down by the police. The most common problem is that most people take instructions without dtermining if the other person is really a cop," lawyer Annie Santiago said.

 

However, if you are stopped by a uniformed policeman, then you are required to stop. But you need not get out of the car because you are not expected to do so, Santiago said. He other rule to follow is to provide your identity card only when you are asked to do so.

"Even then, you should get his ID first to confirm if he is a cop. There is no harm in calling the relevant police station to verify if he is supposed to be on duty that day," Sivarasa said.

 

Both lawyers said that motorists should never follow an officer to the police station unless one is under arrest. "If you are not sure, and your instincts tell you that something is wrong, then drive off to the nearest police station and lodge a report," Sivarasa said.

 

In response to the alleged gang-rape of the 18-year-old, Women's Aid Organisation executive-secretary Ivy Josiah called on the police to launch an education program to teach the public about their rights to prevent them from being victimised by bogus police officers.

 

Procedures to follow in the event you are stopped by uniformed police Officers while driving.

a.. Stop the car and wind down your window.

b.. If the police officers ask for your documents,

request to see their IDs first.

c.. If you are satisfied about their identity, ask

them if you are being summoned, and for what

offence.

d.. Produce your identity card and driver's

license and wait to collect your summon ticket.

 

In the event that the police officers ask you to follow them to the police station:

a.. Ask if you are under arrest and for what

offence.

b.. If you are not under arrest, you have the

right to leave.

 

In the event you are flagged down by persons you believe could be plainclothes police:

a.. Do not stop because plainclothes police

officers do not have the authority to stop you.

b.. Drive to the nearest police station and lodge

a report. (The same procedure applies to

pedestrians)

 

In the event the police come to your house:

a.. Do not let them in before checking their IDs.

b.. If you are not satisfied, phone the nearest

police station and confirm if they had been sent to

your house.

c.. You are under no obligation to allow them into

the house if they don't have a search warrant.

d.. Do not go with them if you are not under

arrest.

 

 

In the event persons who claimed to be plainclothes police come to your

house:

a.. Do not let him in because they do not have the

authority to do so.

b.. Lodge a report at the nearest police station.

Where we having it again? The previous session's place was a good one, had a water source, very windy and very ulu (great for shy people like me)

Has anybody found the water tap diode?

 

Anyway guys, after some experimenting which includeded opening up the wrong screws, pulling out the wrong hose etc. , i've finally managed to replace the coolant successfully which includes bleeding the system

 

So those who of you who have milo water as coolant may want to bring along a bottle of coolant, any brand will do! I'll guide u guys along

 

Last but not least, there won't be any racing and I must say again that i am a safety rider:thumb:

[khairul]

anyone riding the rs250 scrapping their bikes soon? or has some neat parts from a scrapped rs250?? pls PM me i want your cylinders!

[fubby]

lol dun tink anyone has rs250 spare parts

been asking for a few months now to no avil

[lacrimosae]

I have procured a bottle of Waterwetter.

 

Git yer asses down for DIY Session 2, 04 Sept 04

for your change for coolant!

 

Shall we have it at divine_ponytailz place (Serangoon) this time round?

Or you guys wanna give me another chance to be host?

 

Sorry ah, last time round wasnt a good host.... No lunch and drinks....

 

DIY Session 2 04 Sept 04

Change of coolant to Waterwetter.

 

1) Divine_ponytailz

2) lacrimosae

3) kokakola

4) fibre

[eyz]

i don't think i can make it on this sat...

i would like to change my engine oil and also my spark plug..

and if possible clean my carb...

 

if i'm able to make it.. i'll meet you guys at the designated place

[DeusExMachina]

When you're gonna add waterwetter to your bike, it's better to ensure that all your previous coolant has been flushed out and the system clean of any additional impurities.

 

Actually I know of a place which will do a TOTAL flush of your coolant system + topup of Waterwetter for just $20+ per bike.

 

 

Anyone interested?

[fibre]

no need to pay so much la

 

how about u provide me with waterwetter, 2 X 1.5L bottle of tap water, and a container to contain the old coolant

I'll remove the old coolant, flush the crap out, refill it and even bleed the system

 

Just pay me thru food will do Alternatively u can pay for my waterwetter, haha

 

 

Anyway, results of my coolant change:

 

cruising temp (100kph) dropped by abt 3C consistently

Temp goes up much slower on traffic lights

Temp goes down much faster after moving off from traffic lights

 

so its not as bad la

[bktan]

sorry guys haven't been posting for awhile, bike's been giving me lots of problems, had been quite sad for the past few weeks.

 

but all's ok now, had quite a bit of help out from the warranty. i still left maybe new sprockets/chain to change into, my tyres are balding too.

 

cheers guys, love u all!

[Marilyn_Manson]

U using SG petrol?

 

If you're staying West/North side, you can shave 50% off your petrol $$ by going to JB to pump.

 

Our 98 RON vs their 97 RON... theirs is 60% cheaper (by petrol prices and currency conversion).

 

 

And u change tyres every 3 years?

A safe figure at max would be 2 years.

Er....

 

U gotta use DISTILLED water in your coolant system man. Not really advisable to use tap water.

This guy posted an article on coolant.

 

Read near the last quarter where it mentions deionized water. EVen Distilled water may not be enough, but it's still better than tap water.

[lacrimosae]

Great...

So who's bringing distilled or deionized water later?

I dont have any of that stuff.....

Might have to run out to get some....

 

Also......

For the last couple of days, I have to push start my bike....

When I turn on my switch, my voltmeter reading is 8... not the usual 11.4

Sianz....

Hello Fellow Aprilians. Not sure if this was asked before, didn't find the answer in the 86pages of posts. My RS125 didn't have air filter in the airbox since i bought it 2 mths ago. With or without, u guys felt any difference? Or any damage resulting from it? Thank u for ur time.
