dangerous cigarette sellers

yesterday, after visiting my customer in sungei kadut:

*ring ring*
billy: hello?
moby: eh, you got the neighbourhood police post's number near your place in chua chu kang?
billy: err...no, why?
moby: i need to report something.
billy: oh ok. i'll check for you.

*sms beep beep*
billy: police hotline: 1800-255-0000
moby: ok, thanks.

*ring ring*
police hotline operator (pho): police hotline.
moby: hi, my name is moby. i'd like to report something that i just witnessed.
pho: ok. continue, sir.
moby: i'm at a bus-stop along woodlands road, and i just saw a bunch of people selling contraband cigarettes to drivers along the road. they are just outside of the caltex petrol kiosk around stagmont ring road.
pho: how many of them are there, sir?
moby: there are about 7-8 of them. they're really harrassing the drivers by waving their plastic bags filled with illegal cigarettes and making the cars stop...and one of them almost caused an accident by running up to a taxi passing by.
pho: ok. i will inform the relevant division about this case asap.
moby: ok. thanks.
pho: thank you for the feedback, sir. what is your name again?
moby: moby sky
pho: thank you, sir. would you like to leave your number?
moby: sure. it's @#$^&#!@
pho: thank you, sir.

it was my first ever call to the men in blue, though i never heard from them after that...but i really hope that they caught those idiots. not only were the cigarette salesmen harrassing the drivers, they were picking fights with the people who didn't want to buy the cigarettes from them...especially the motorcyclists. very dangerous...which is why i decided not to be just a spectator.

besides, i would rather pay the $11 at 7-11 for a pack of ultra lights, than to be caught by the police for consuming illegal cigarettes...it's really not worth it if you ask me...the consequences far outweigh the minimal benefits.

i think that i did some good yesterday...well kinda...if not for the would-be-buyers, then at least for the other drivers on the road...
