The Monday blues

For those of you who took the left lane into the CIQ this morning, my condolences to you and your passengers (if any).

For those of us who spotted the ominous orange clone that blocked off the right most entrance into the right most row of counters, give yourself a pat on the back for your morning alertness. An extra pat if you deduced that having that lane closed off meant lesser cars in that part of the complex.

I just shook my head in disbelief when I saw that. Whatever possessed the CIQ top brass to seal off an entire section of the CIQ? Just one solitary cone and you reduce 1/4 of the CIQ efficiency.

What could have happened? Did 1/4 of the officers manning the car counters just went on emergency leave? Or did they all go on MC on the same day?

And since they're no longer scanning our passports anymore, why do they even bother having manned counters? Just open up all lanes and let us be on our way. Have 2 or 3 manned counters to handle the odd Singaporean passports in the morning.

Of course, this being Malaysia and all, I guess I'll just suck it in and count my blessings, knowing that things ever hardly improve or change for the better. Especially in JB.

Let's hope they don't pull off any more of this nonsense tomorrow.

Tuesday. Arrgh.
