Ur side: "I've been man handled by one such orcifer. out right rude and spoils the image of customs."
I wonder what's the customs officer perspective.... :think:
ok my story:
sitting as front passenger in car thru customs at the car check. the jam was terrible so I was half asleep, he came knock hard on my window. i wind down and asked "yes sir?" he just said "come out, come out"
"ok lor.." i thought.. i unbuckle my seat belt and he was like "come out" again. then when I got out he quickly grab my waist pouch and "do you smoke? got smoke a not? got smoke?" like a rapid fire MG. then i said "no" then he said "turn around, turn around" getting a bit agitated..
I was thinking "WTF" ok i turned around he started touching my back pocket, front pocket, patting my back, sleeve and down my pants and i assume that's a body search. "
Were they supposed to ASK or TELL before searching? and body search from the back? that's a first for me
Ok.. never mind.. then he tried to open my pouch. I tied the zipper together so it cannot be opened easily (theft deterent as I was in JB shopping) then he got very agitated now and started yanking the zipper on the pouch
STILL ON MY WAIST. Then he raised his voice and "open it. OPEN IT!" I opened the pouch, and he started digging inside, my wallet, PDA phone, tissue all inside.. and mind you, the waist pouch was on hanging on my waist and in FRONT of me. I didn't really like him putting his hand INTO my pouch digging at somewhere near my *ahem*. then after that, he said, "Take out the things"
Out came the phone, wallet and tissue, and he see liao.. ok he went to flip up the car mats in the front seat, didn't put anything back properly and and just left. In my mind i was like swearing at him.
Do I know him? NO. Do I owe him a living? NO. He chose this job and he should know that he will be interacting with PEOPLE making him in the same line as CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICERS. shhesssh.. what are they teaching those kids these days.
EDIT: ok lor.. he had a bad day, jam was bad, air quality at that place was bad. So? take it out on me? I think the car behind me didn't have a good time as well, though I didnt' stay long enough to see it.
