That is why the people never feel the care of law enforcement but using habit rather than; in contradiction they use their habits instead of it. There is no rule of law but it is a nation of impunity. These are examples that indicate that people sit on the law; people always have a habit of overloading a car by ignoring a traffic law and transportation restriction procedure through taking a bribe to police or officials. Sometimes along the street even there is traffic stoplight but some people still trespass the road regardless of safety. Some people use domestic violence by ignoring national law. Other cases in the courts happened whenever they did something wrong against the law but they still try to bail someone out of jail by depending on senior officials string.

Likewise, the officials like local authority which serve the public interests always take liberty or perform duty based on their habits, for instance, they use power and property for their family’s boon. Sometimes, they carry out the office routine according to their domestic implementation style. Or they express the bad behavior in the office toward other staff rather than respecting to the ground rule of working protocol.
