Police Road Block: 26/02/2009, 1.36am, MRR2

Hi there,

It's regarding the police road block again here.

Date : 26 February 2009, Thursday
Time : 1.36am
Spot : MRR2 heading Sg Besi after the Taman Connaught exit (as usual)
Speed Limit : 80KMH
My Speed : 75KMH
Driving Lane : Right Lane

Please refer to my earlier post with the title "Malaysian Traffic Road Block".

I am heading my way back from Cheras to Serdang and they stopped me at the same spot as mentioned in my previous post regarding this block spot.

The policeman that instructed me aside wore his name tag and I saw it was "ROSLY" (not sure whether it is the real name tag).

Another policeman approached me, asking how fast I drove. During that time, I had a paper and a pen on my hand. He quickly asked me "what am I going to jot down?" once he noticed, and I told him "no, it is only my note".

I told him I did not speed at all. He asked me to show my license (as usual), but I refused. I told him I did not speed. Straight away he raised up his voice and demand my license, but I refused again.

I asked for his ID before showing him my license. You know what he did?

HE SHOW ME HIS GUN ON HIS WAIST INSTEAD OF THE ID
(another policeman was stunned at the back looking at us)

He shouted at me for my license. I insisted to see his ID.

When I repeated again that I did not speed, he told me they are not looking at only speeding.

He then kicked my door and leave me alone.

I drove away.

Guys, what is that mean?

Don't forget, everyone of us has the right to ask for his ID before showing him our Identity Card or License.

I would be more than happy to be cooperative if they followed the procedure (I mean if they ABLE to follow the procedure)

Good luck to you guys.

Boeing 787: Possible to repeat the same success of 747?

The New Boeing 787
(We delay for the best of our clients) - suggested new tag line... :)

Boeing has introduced its newly designed business toy as the plan to stay ahead of the aviation industry.

This aircraft is expected to carry between 210 to 330 passengers with its selling point of improved fuel-efficiency which plays a major role of an airline's operation cost.

This immediately captured the attention from some major airline operators such as All Nippon Airways, Qantas and Air Canada. A total orders of about 900 units have been received from airline companies worldwide.

However, the roll out of this aircraft has been postponed for 4 times now. Major problem that causes the delay is the overweight of the aircraft. The following describe the delays:

Delay 1 (5th September 2007):
Duration - 3 months delay
Reason - Shortage of fasteners and incomplete software

Delay 2 (10th October 2007):
First Flight - 3 months delay
First Delivery - 6 months delay
Reason - Problems with foreign and domestic supply chain, lack of documentations from overseas suppliers and continue delay of flight guidance software

As a result, the 787 program manager has been replaced.

Delay 3 (16th January 2008):
First Flight - 3 months delay
First Delivery - early 2009
Reason - Insufficient progress from suppliers

Delay 4 (9th April 2008):
First Flight - 4th quarter of 2008
First Delivery - 15 months delay, 3rd quarter of 2009
Reason - Did not announced

Delay 5 (11th December 2008):
First Flight - At least 6 months delay, 2nd quarter of 2009
First Delivery - Summer 2010
Reason - Incorrect installation of some of the structurally important fasteners

Boeing 787's main feature was its light-weight design using composite materials including carbon fiber which made extra long flight possible (14,800 to 15,700 km: enough to cover the route from New York City to Taipei).
