Yesterday around 2:30pm, my colleague told me that we might leave earlier to collect something before fly to Brunei. Then at 3:00pm, another colleague and me went to collect a hardware from a partner side (Glenmarie) to deliver to our partner in Brunei.Original plan was leave office at 3:45pm. Then we arrived Glenmarie at 3:20pm, waited there for almost half an hour. We leave there at 4:00pmMy colleague then drive like F1 driver and we reach LCCT around 4:55pm and my flight was 5:55pm so need to arrive there at least 1 hour before in order to check-in my luggage.Luckily everything were right until 5:20pm Air Asia announced that my flight was delayed. At the beginning was only 30 minutes delay. At 6:25pm, they announced again that the flight will delay until 7:00pm so then I went to have my dinner.After boarding to the plane still waited for almost 30 minutes because the plane was refueling petrol.
Finally, the plane arrived to Brunei Airport at 9:30pm. After check-out, I went to collect all the hardware and my luggage.Then I went out to the customs, the officer asked me what is inside the box. It is actually a firewall equipment that I bring to Brunei for demo and testing purpose.
Officer 1: "apa tu dalam box ini?"
Me: "this is a Firewall"
Officer 1: "apa tu Firewall?" (while looking to Officer 2)
Me: "is for computer"
Officer 1: "for computer? use for what?"
Me: "internet security"
Officer 1: "ei, ni macam mana? dia kata untuk computer... firewall.." (ask Officer 2)
Officer 2: "firewall? apa tu?"
Me: "is for computer security, I bring here for demo and testing purpose"
Officer 2 look to Officer 1 and both of them like don't know what to do. I think Officer 1 was lazy to look for the solution.
Officer 1: "okay, boleh lah. Boleh jalan." (while pointing to my luggage)
Officer 1: "apa dalam ni?"
Me: "is my luggage."
Officer 1: "baju ke?"
Me: "yes yes, baju."
So I was escape from import tax.
Just now we discussed about this, then my colleagues here said "firewall is dinding api". So funny!!
