Nanbei mata. Useless mata. In case you don't know what is mata, it literally stand for Police.

Time check: 3:45am and I was along Shenton way to Clifford center on my way home. Heard the police siren but no police car was seen so what do you do?

Ans: Drive on like me.

Reaching traffic junction still hear police siren but nowhere was any police cars seen and traffic light was in your favor so what should you do?

Ans: Reduce speed drive on like me.

When I drive on, suddenly there this police car with it screaming siren do a e-brake and stopped just half meter from my van from the other direction and obviously this police vehicle beat the red light.

So what did they do?

Stared at me as if I'm some sort of criminal. Stared at me as if I committed some grave crime.

To the matas only.

Helloo mata kia, yes, you might have their siren on but that doesn't mean they can beat traffic red breaching the safely of other motorists.

As I recalled, a friend told me this. He saw a group of teens fighting, so as a good citizen when he happened to see a police car passed by, he frantically stop them, ran up to them and trying to explain what he saw. Guess what did the matas do?

They saw my friend approaching them and they quickly lock their car door (they are inside the car). Mind you, 2 officers with guns against one peasant.

Mata had a little bird,
Little bird, little bird,
Mata had a little bird,
Use it only for show.
And everywhere that Mata went,
Mata went, Mata went,
Everywhere that Mata went
The bird was sure to go.
