I agree with John. Not worth the worry.
Time for us to step back & take a deep breath, then
look at how we compare. Everywhere else seem to
have their own peculiar problems, of tribal conflict,
(by any other name) religion, race, class, minority groups,
(etc) while we have the most trivial, squabbling over how
much to pay..? Get real guys!
Corruption occurs at all levels, formal or informal.
Get over it. Or pay the 5 mill. dong for doing under 15 kph
over the limit, or not wearing a seat belt. Cheap fines.
AND loss of 'points'..? as we (used to) 'suffer' in Australia.
'Suffer' ..? ..because everyone got used to it...
Compare? Sure. Go and see how you like places like
India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey or even the
great states (of paranoia) to see how easy you are
getting it here.
Pitiful. I call it pathetic...
