Celcom 3G Lousy

                                                                Celcom 3G Donkey!!

Aku tengah hangin tahab gaban nei, coz whole week tak boleh excess internet smoothly, asyik2 dok semput manjang, macam siput Celcom 3G. Aku dah lodged few complaints about their lousy service kat Celcom Customer Service, sampai aku dah menyampah ler, bukan aper I've to wait at least 10 minutes baru dapat bercakap ngan customer service dia. Macam mana aku tak hangin biler dapat same anwer from they all, alasan paling popular Celcom Service Centre sering kasi kat aku:

• "Kami dalam proses meningkatkan mutu perkhidmatan 3G service di kawasan anda".

• "Kontraktor kami sedang menaiktaraf service perkhidmatan 3G".

• "Gangguan berlaku di kawasan pusat Ibu Sawat berhampiran kawasan anda, pihak kami sedang berusaha memperbaiki kerosakan yang berlaku berhampiran kawasan anda".

Aku rasa menyesal pun ader biler terminate Streamyx dulu, which for me, after 3 years using their service, aku kasi AA rating ler. Aku start swift to Celcom 3G reason is for convinience, senang biler gi outstation or balik kampung. Tapi ku harapkan panas berpanjangan, tapi ribut taufan melanda sampai tumbang tiang 3G Celcom. 

Aku pakai 3G Celcom nei, biler Celcom ader buat special promotion for their Corporate Client, so aku interested ler biler tengok demo masa tu. So lepas tu aku discuss ngan darling aku, dia kata ok ler, so aku pun subscribe ler ngan Celcom. Aku kena maintain account 3G nei selama 2 tahun, if early termination, then I've to pay Celcom RM180. Aku dapat modem 3G tu pun tak sampai RM200, tu pasal dia imposed such contact term. Kalau kat Celcom Centre, pada masa tu aku pi survey, paling murah pakej yang Celcom kasi untuk public is about RM650.

Mula2 tu OK ler, semua cantik ajer. Tapi masuk bulan kedua dan seterusnya, service 3G nei dah semput2 ajer.  Tapi aku perasan ler, Celcom nei dah start improve its 3G service in last November 2008, masa tu laju giler ler gak. Tapi biler masuk bulan December 2008 nei, service dia dah semput2 balik dah.  

Biler dah semput tu, bayangkan nak buka gmail pun tak bleh. Apalah punya system huprak nei!!.

Celcom Broadband Lousy!!

Really lousy!!! First thing I'm really disappointed with Celcom Broadband, which I had subscribed in early April this year (come with corporate rate offer), first trial..looks ok and quite impressive with the system. And aper lagi...subscribe ler...

Soon found the coverage really bad, just imagine I only can use internet after 12 a.m. everyday!!Really siau punya Celcom!!. Bengang giler....bayar mahal2 ....tapi service macam cipan!!. Bodoh punya Celcom.

Not only that, the device always disconnect suddenly, end-up have to re-connect and lost all my file (kes tak sempat nak save ler nei). I've lodged few complaint with Celcom, and yet the service is still has not been resolved. Alasan bodoh/bangang dari Celcom always given to me when I lodged complaint ...."pihak kami dalam proses menaiktaraf facility sehingga akhir bulan June 2008".... hangguk betul ler Celcom....

That's why aku stop kejab blog aku nei.....bengang tahab GABAN dengan Celcom!!!!!

No Credit Card at Petrol Station

Seriously I don't agreed with this statement given by 'Persatuan Pengusaha Station Minyak Malaysia' to prohibit credit card usage at petrol station. They try to influence government to stop Malaysian from using credit card at petrol station. Nonsense. For me, I been using this credit card to refill at petrol station almost 4 years, so just imagine how much that I already contribute to their business profit, it baru I jer...I really don't understand how come this petrol station want to squeeze all their financial burden to us, while enjoying all others the benefits. Mau makan sorang ke bro??. If u got problem with bank, you go and fxxk them la!! Don't drag us into your problem also.

Some of us really depend on credit card, while waiting 'gaji masuk' end of month. So if the petrol station do not allow any credit card usage, what will happen to them? How to refill their car? Lain ler kalau nak kete lembu. Are those petrol owner are seriously having financial problem after the government increase the fuel price. Is their cost already increase also? I saw most of them only hired 'Mat Bangla', just to wipe our windscreen or ask question 'Cash or Credit Card' or sometime 'abang mau servis ka, mau check engine oil or batery ka?'. Is this one of their excuse for not allowing credit card usage at petrol station? What kind of fxxk serbis la. Again, I seriously urge the Government to stop all this nonsense request.

By right, what the station owner should do is to continue the credit card usage at pump petrol while at the same time Government should play their role to settle down the problem facing by petrol operator with banks. Maybe bank can reduce their current charges of 1% per transaction to 0.5% against petrol operator if certain percentage is achieved.

Saperate fuel pumps for foreigner

What the hell Najib is taking about during the press statement to implement separate fuel system near the boundary in Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis, Johor....where's else? He said there are 2 benefits that Malaysian can enjoy by having this system:

1. Foreigner and non-Malaysian will be charged more
2. Malaysian will know what is the current fuel price in the market

I'm wondering how the staff in petrol station can differentiate who is 'real Malaysian' and 'Malaysian celup', coz basically most of the staff are 'Mat Bangla' . How the Government want to monitor this. In other words, this 'initiative' actually will only be monitored by those 'Mat Bangla' to differentiate among 'real Malaysian' and 'Malaysian Celup'. If so, sure die la...'mati katak ooo'.

Just see what happen when the Government insists to have 2 payments for payroll system in public sector. 'Kena walap sini sana' by public....then Government starts to call the meeting again, luckily 'ader makan free' (macam mana ler nak cut Government expenses!), then setup committee to re-look on the proposal again. After 2 months, the committee will table out the report and forget it. Really waste the money and time. But I know Government love to do this. And this time, look like Government will repeat the same thing again and again till no end.

Last but not least, our Government pls wake up, your sleeping pills doestn't work to Malaysian, it's works to Bedol only. So, please stop implementing stupid system and rules system!!!!.

Inflation coming soon

Since the petrol had gone up, everything seems so pricey. I'm sure we all been suffered during this time. I don't even see any price cut over household products in the hypermarket as provoked by some of hypermarket in newspaper. I just take 1 example, last week when I went to hypermarket in Shah Alam to buy 'Ayamas Chicken Ball' which normally it just cost me about RM9.99 (kalau nak mulah,  better get one at Ayamas Shop), but somehow I saw the price had gone up by RM1.00 to become RM10.99. So looking ahead, if this situation continue without any correction action, definitely we'll suffer forever, especially those who don't received any rebates from Government of RM625 (takde kete), amacam?. No rebates, but have to buy groceries at 'killing price'. 

We now can feel the heat of inflation in our normal life, everything is pricey now. While, those 'mentri2' they don't care all this things, coz everything 'free' even dok kecoh2 kat parlimen, just buat kepo lebih!!! Last few days, Government agreed to reduce 10% 'elaun kera' ian those 'mentri2', but also some of them felt disappointed. Engkuangchiow ma!!!!

Petrol RM2.70: Another Siau!

Really  la..last night I went to petrol station and fill-up RM50 bugs, and you know what, I just managed to refill less than 3/4 of my fuel tank capacity than normal. I saw the tag price at petrol station for RON97 is RM2.704 not as RM2.70 as mentioned by Bedol. Really Bedol lah!!! 

Even, during the lunch hour, I went to 'kedai mamak'  and ordered 'roti tampal' which I used to have during lunch hour. You know what happen la, I have to pay RM2.20 for 'roti tampal' which normally I'll cost me about RM1.50. See this 'kedai mamak' starts to increase their prices. Then, another Bedol lah!!

I'm so fishy how effective that the Government willing to review the oil price on monthly basis. Are they going to reduce the price? I'm 200% sure this only to gauge public sentiment, that the Government is willing to reduce the price, which they should done earlier, why now?  I believe they only know how to review the price on upward basis only, not on the other way!     

 

Petrol Cost RM2.70

Oh my god!! We are in trouble man, our petrol cost is now RM2.70. It is 40% increase from the previous . I think our Government now is so 'clever' and so 'efficient' in managing this country. And one thing for sure, the next election PRU 13, there will be no more 'Barisan Nasional' !!!! You better die forever BN. I saw Bedolah last night in news,  wah, looks so happy to announce the new toll price. I think this is what they call the most 'brilliant idea' that really can save our country. 

Just imagine, what will happen to those lower income who actually struggling for extra income, sometime  they have do extra works until midnight, and this Bedolah simple wipe-out all the effort that had put out.  Once the petrol price hike, all our consumer products start to increase as well. A part of that, TNB also announced that they will increase their tariff. Seem everything will to become pricey. What's else left to us that can be considered as  'mulah-mulah'?? 

The following price that take effect from last midnight :

                         New Price            Old Price             % Increase

RON97 Petrol     RM2.70 p/ltr         RM1.92 p/ltr               40%  

RON92 Petrol     RM2.62 p/ltr         RM1.86 p/ltr              40%

Diesel                RM2.58 p/ltr         RM1.58 p/ltr              63% 

Media statement's by PM's office.

New Subsidy in Next 3 Months

I really can't imagine what will happen to all Malaysian, after the Government announced new plan for the oil subsidy allocation, which will take place in the next 3 months, where the oil subsidy will be wiped-out in total with a new system.

I'm just thinking what would be the best solution for this, would the Government to issue smart card, or upgrade the existing facility in MyCard for identification.  I believe there would be certain limit of subsidy, says limit to RM300 per month per household. If you use more than this limit, you've to pay at market price. But the Government should take care those low income, where I'm sure they will not spend that much. 

Believe me, right after the Government announce the new subsidy scheme, our consumer products will boost up like hell. Those 'kedai mamak/groceries' especially will increase their price. The Government should think carefully before make any decision, especially oil price, coz once the new oil price is revised, one thing for sure the chain reaction will be faster than expected. We'll be effected from the oil price hike. 

Don't Let Foreigner Car Filling Near Our Border

I still remember when I came back to Baling, Kedah, I can see a lot of foreign cars, especially with the plate number from Thailand simply refill their cars at our Petrol Station near the boundary!! And the worst thing, they are not using small car, as most of them prefers 'pickup lorry'  which easily can simply 100 litters. And they just bought the fuel at our subsidy price!! I felt so irritated looking at this situation, not much difference between 'Malaysian' and 'Thais', it the same. They also enjoy the same benefit. 

The worst scenario, when enforcement is not properly monitored. Although there is a regulation allowing  'Thais' can be in Malaysia just within 30 miles from the boundary (if I not mistaken), but  they simply 'belasah' more the the limits, even sometimes we can seen those car in Selangor!!! Meaning to say, our police in Malaysia is so 'efficient'  until they  can't  foresee this, maybe they are so busy with 'mat rempit' issue. 

I really agreed with the Government decision to ban all petrol stations within 30 to 50km from the Malaysia-Thailand border and the Malaysia-Singapore border from selling fuel to foreign cars beginning 30 May 2008 onwards. And this would also applied all the petrol stations in Perlis, Kedah, North Perak, Kelantan, and several Johor distrincts. Offending petrol station owners would be fined up to RM250,000 or jailed 3 years or both. But the question is how the Government want to enforce this? Will they send 'mata2 kelabu' at all the petrol stations.

 

Off Peak LDP Rebates

I saw Star front page today, believe all of us will be upmost welcome to any decision for toll rate reduction of all the highways in this region. The highway operator in this region are gaining the benefits from the toll hike, as this were stipulated in their Concession Agreement with Gov. of Malaysia, that any toll hikes will be reviewed every 2-4 years intervene ranging 10%-20% hikes. 

I felt a bit funny when I saw a statement from Md. Zin, that his ministry is looking one of the three options, to have peak and off-peak toll rate rebates for all the motorist at LDP highway.  Really can't imagine, do they urge us to leave our home at 4.30 a.m and get back home at 10.00 p.m, coz basically if you are using LDP before you can slip-in to Federal Highway at Sunway, you'll stuck in the jam like hell man during 5 p.m to 8 p.m!!!! Whose gonna pay us an extra 'Over Time' during this peak hours. Time is money man!!!

Layman argument : We as road user feel the toll increase at LDP is really a burden. Just imagine if you have to travel along the LDP everyday, at least you need to allocate RM9.60 per day (equivalent to RM240 per month), just for the toll fare only. It end-up we having caught in the massive jam everyday, bloody hell LDP!!! If you want to have toll increase, surely can!! no problem, BUT make sure all the fundamental issues are resolved first especially traffic jam at your Sunway Toll Plaza!!. 

If you study the road alignment properly, LDP is not a new alignment route that similar to NPE, it was upgraded from normal Federal Road to Highway. The sad thing is, we don't have alternative highway that parallel with this highway. 

One thing Md Zin, how sure you are, that you can bring down the toll fare for off-peak and peak hours. What's the rate would be? Govenment is actually the owner of the highway, while concessionaire company is  solely operator. Why you can't distinguish between 'owner' & 'concessionaire'.  Government have the ultime rights against the concessionaire. If the Government is not willing to come-out with any huge compensation to highway operator, then the concessionaire period should be deferred for a longer period with the flat toll rate. This concession company is happing that Government could give compensation (up-front) in any way. Government have to consider carefully when dealing with any highway operator on any request for toll increase!. They can come-out with very2 funny figures (which doesn;t really make sense at all).

 

   

Rokok Penyumbang Kekejaman Israeil

Aku mengambil kesempatan di tahun baru nei 2009, untuk berhenti terus dari merokok. Alhamdulillah, setakat ni aku dah clean dari merokok, dah takkan hisap lagi dah mende hampeh tu. Misi aku setakat nei berjaya 100% clean.

Aku sedih bile membaca citer2 pasal kekejaman Israeil kat Gaza, sehinggakan kanak2, wanita2 tua, wanita2 menjadi mangsa kerakusan dan keganasan peluru2 and roket Israeil. Di mana pergi peri kemanusiaan di dalam diri kita. Apa yang kita mampu di sini hanyalah menyatakan kutukan2 atas dasar kekejaman Israeil. Apa yang ada dengan hanya menyatakan kutukan, sedangkan Israeil sedang rancak meratah rakyat2 di Gaza.

Cubalah kita renungkan kanak2 di sana hanya mampu membaling batu, tetapi dibalasnya dengan peluru2 yang tak mengenal mangsanya. Apa sudah jadi dengan umat Islam sekarang nei, yang hanya mampu melihat sahaja kekejaman Israeil di bumi Palestin.

Malaysia, selaku Pengerusi OIC, sebuah pertubuhan Islam terbesar di dunia, hanya mampu memberikan gesaan kepada UN, yang mana UN nei, sudah terang lagi jelas memihak kepada rejim Zionis, memandangkan sekutu kuatnya, Uncle Sam sentiasa memberi bantahan sekiranya terdapat usul2 yang akan bercanggah dengan kepentingannya. Mana tidaknya, Israeil bukan sebuah negara pengeluar senjata api, tetapi bila kita melihat dari segi peralatan senjata dan kereta2 meriam keluaran negara Uncle Sam berada dan bermaharaja-lela di bumi Gaza. 

Kita hannya meluahkan ungkapan kutukan-kutukan di atas kekejaman Israeil di bibir masing2, namun pada masa yang sama menghisap kepulan-kepulan asap yang menjadi penaja dan penyumbang terbesar kepada Israeil untuk meluaskan empayarnya.  Mulut dok kutuk2, tapi pada masa yang sama dok isap rokok yang menjadi penyumbang kepada Israeil. Langsung tak consisten dengan niat dan perbuatan. Logiknya, henti menghisap rokok yang langsung tak mendatangkan faedah atau apa2 kebaikan. Aku pun dulu termasuk dalam gologan nei, tapi sudah sampai masanya untuk kita berubah. Now is the right time to change, it's not too late.

Di Malaysia, kita hanya mampu mendoakan kesejahteraan di bumi Gaza, tapi macam mana ler doa nak diperkenankan kalau menda yang masuk di dalam tubuh kita adalah benda haram.

Negara Islam sebenarnya yang memegang ekonomi dunia, Negara Islam kaya dengan minyak, namun hakikatnya negara2 Islam juga yang terpaksa mengikut telunjuk negara Uncle Sam.  Apa sudah jadi dengan negara Islam yang besar, Islam sekarang di lihat begitu mudah untuk diperkotak -katikkan oleh musuh2 Islam. Sekiranya Liga Arab menetabkan ketetapan bahawa semua minyak tidak akan di jual di negara Uncle Sam, sudah semestinya ianya akan menjatuhkan keangkuhan negara Uncle Sam.  

Tapi sedih, bila Liga Arab sendiri pun tidak dapat mencapai kata sepakat, maksudnya semangat berpuak2 masih lagi menebal di dalam jiwa mereka. Kalau beginilah keadaannya, maka sampai bila2 ler Islam akan terus di tindas oleh musuh2 Islam, yang semestinya amat bergembira dengan perkabaran ini.  

Renung2kan lah, semoga kita semua dapat berubah dan mendapat petunjuk dari Ilahi.

RM5 for 20's Pack Cigarette

The Ministry of Healthy of Malaysia has proposed that the minimum price for a of 20's cigarette should be at least RM5 to discourage price war among the tobacco firms and smoking habits among the teenagers.

It was reported that almost 3 million Malaysian are smokers, and 30% is between 16 to 18 years old. Most of them are being exposed to subtle forms of cigarette advertising, where this includes watching movies of their favourite actors or actress smoking.

The minimum price can't be to high as this will lead to cigarette smuggling into this country. The anti-smoking campaign is still weak in this country same as the enforcement of law, to adopt more smoke-free areas as being in place by our near neighbour, Singapore. Their pack displays how bad the smoke to our healthy.

SMART Tunnel Toll Begins

Today, Friday 15 June 2007, all the users of the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) will be charged a RM2 toll one way. SMART is open only to cars, taxis, MPVs and SUVs not exceeding 2 meter in height. No motorcycles, buses or lorries are allowed. Touch 'n Go and SmartTAG facilities are available for paying toll.

The 9.7km SMART project is meant to divert rain water away from the city centre to prevent flash floods and alleviate traffic congestion along Jalan Sungai Besi to Jalan Ampang. The project is jointly carried out by MMC Corporation Berhad and Gamuda Berhad.

The SMART is the world’s first dual purpose tunnel (double deck), and among the largest in the world with a diameter of 13.2 meters. The construction cost is RM1.9 billion. Road users have been using the motorway for free since 14 May 2007 and they had the option of using the road tunnel for speedier or other roads.

Why RM2 and not below RM2? Should the publics blame SMART for the flash floods which hit areas in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday 10 June 2007, as apart from the motorway, the infrastructure was not fully operational!!.

SMART Tunnel Only Designed for Storm Flood Not Flash Flood

The most recent came at an incongruous time which created some wisecracks in its wake. Sunday’s flash flood hit the city when traffic was already passing through the billion ringgit SMART Tunnel (Storm water management and road tunnel project). It didn’t have a ‘tidal flow’ system yet.

The one thing that went through many people’s mind was why wasn’t the SMART utilised? In fact, motorists who used the tunnel to get home on Sunday found themselves stuck in a bumper-to-bumper crawl after exiting the tunnel to Sungei Besi.

Motorists found their Sunday drive through KL a nightmare. Some who parked their cars for a Sunday outing were pulling at their hair upon seeing their vehicles submerged or floating like boats.

It seem like the SMART flood tunnel is not designed to handle and prevent all floods. A chance viewing of the Discovery Channel programme on the Smart tunnel gave me a dose of national pride that we had finally outwitted nature for a flood-free KL.

Well, Mother Nature had the last laugh on Sunday.

Roti Canai Increase

The recent announcement by Pak Lah on increase in pay and cost of living allowance (COLA) for all government staffs even though it will take effect in July 2007 but already, the prices of goods had gone up after the pay rise announcement.

After the announcement, we can see in the news paper increase in all purpose wheat flour rice, and hence resulted increase in roti canai at all major kasi kandar outlet in Klang Valley.This major traders and food outlets are greedy, and take advantage against current situation. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shafie Apdal told that the consumer should exercise their rights by boycotting shops that raise prices indiscriminately. What else the consumer can do, if the Government don't look forward to put more people patronizing all those outlets.
