Accident near Arena Green
Ha, should be posting this days ago, but I was in the middle of something so no mood to write. No doubt I’m officially free from "projects & assignments", meanwhile still have some sub-project goin’ on…that’s life.
Alrite, regarding the accident i witness in front of Arena Green Apartment (Bkt Jalil), kinda serious but luckily no injury. Ok, let me briefly explain ’bout the phenomenon of Arena Green.
- one car park for a unit - many residents have more than 1 car, so no place to park inside the apartment compound
- limited visitor parking - most residents use up the visitor car park to park their 2nd car
- roadside illegal car park - in front of the apartment is a dual-carriage highway, so during nitetime residents will park at the road shoulder, in a beeline
It happened on Tues midnite, when I was on my way back from mamak with my housemates, we noticed that there was traffic police and tow car parked at the roadside. Fine, parking at the road shoulder is illegal, and DBKL has fined most of the cars but yet they still park there, so we juz thought that perhaps the police tows off these cars…LOL!!!..
We were a bit curious but don’t dare to approach them, dunno what’s happening. Thus we went to the staircase and peep on it, noticing a white car was rather extraordinary, a local car, front part looks like Perdana while the rear part looks like Satria. The surrounding cars, instead of parking in a straight line, some of them off the road and up the pedestrian walkway. OMG how bad is this accident. At last we can’t stand to go nearer to "gei poh" (busybody).
Approaching the scene, we saw one of our classmate was there too. Hence asked him ’bout the whole story.
"I was smokin’ at the staircase thr b4 i heard a loud noise, something collided. I looked at the highway and saw a Toyota Harrier hit badly on the Perdana V6, and cause a chain reaction, ended up with eight cars involved. The driver stunned and began to flee. But imagine, such a bad accident, how would the engine survives…haha…the engine totally went off after he drove 4 ’bout 100 meters. He’s a smart guy, he left the car and started to runaway…somehow arrested by a plain clothes policeman"
I looked at the Perdana V6 owner, he’s helpless and juz staring at his car. The Perdana V6 has a direct contact with Harrier. Juz imagine, the rear part (car trunk including partial pessenger seats) of the Perdana V6 gone, as well as the engine. The whole car was trash and I don’t think that the owner’s gonna drive this car again after the insurance claim, well it depends.
Lots of ppl standing there, some are the car owner, and i dunno what’s on their mind. Another group of ppl are the "ranger" who call tow car once the accident took place, juz to get their commission. Others would be "gei poh" ppl like us, and not forgetting those ppl purposely go near the scene trying to see the 4-digits car plate, hoping to strike some windfall…=)
So the moral of this incident is, do not park your car at the roadside. Despite the DBKL officer only starts to work at 10am, but sometimes you will never know how your car looks like the next mornin’ you see it. LOL!!!~~~
But what if you can’t get a parking lot for your car? Juz to be selfish, park your car rite in front of the guard house so that no one can enter the apartment…hahahahha….
