Who is responsible?

  THERE IS an important lesson to learn from here.  There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. - Charles R. Swindoll            The names of the people concerned and the agencies they represent are removed, so as not to cause any embarrassment. Unless the agency is consistently "bad"; otherwise, I maintain general courtesy to protect their identity. Generally, I must say, these three agencies are quite good with their quality of service.  Big Elephants in the Room           For eight months to a year, a few gigantic pipes had been abandoned at a certain location. These are the "big elephants" that are hard to be removed even if you us

Open Letter to Minister Fahmi Fadzil

Image
Dear Minister Fahmi Fadzil, I urge you to seriously look into the way telecommunication companies are "locking" customers down with a two- or three-year contract, and imposing their own lopsided terms and conditions.  I believe over the years, for whatever reasons, the authorities have failed to regulate the telcos in the same way that Bank Negara is known to regulate the banking and insurance industries. As a result, subscribers find themselves always on the losing end when dealing with the telcos.  My experience with one telco will probably be the same with other telcos for other subscribers. Unless the Ministry puts its foot down on these telcos, they will continue to introduce contract after contract, and impose their own terms and conditions that subscribers are often left with no choice but to sign on the dotted line. Allow me to elaborate. I have been a subscriber of Maxis for more than 25 years after switching from Celcom. It was easy back then, and I was able to ask

TAHNIAH KEPADA TELEKOM MALAYSIA!

Prestasi TERBAIK oleh pihak TELEKOM Malaysia di bawah Lebuhraya DUKE dekat Manjalara.Patut dianugerah dengan Angpow  (saman) paling besar supaya mereka lebih prihatin.  Tayar motorsikal mudah tersangkut dalam lubang ini yang ditinggalkan oleh kontraktor TM. Penunggang motosikal terjatuh lalu lori datang dengan deras di sebelah malam.  Di manakah penyelian oleh pihak atasan TM? Bukan saja di sini, tapi sebelum ini di Jalan Kepong dekat Desa Jaya juga.  Di sepanjang Jalan Sungai Buloh-Jalan Kepong sebelum masuk ke LDP juga ada kerja  pengorekan yang sama dan lubang yang lebih besar. Juga di Jalan Maarof dekat Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC) dua ke tiga bulan sebelum ini.   Semua ini kerja TELEKOM MALAYSIA, yang tidak berubah atau bertambah baik sejak 90an. Sekurang-kurangnya TNB sudah bertambah baik, tapi TM sejak zaman Sharifah Ismail PRO tahun 90an sehingga kini servis hanya bertambah buruk walaupun sudah menerusi proses privatisasi.  PERLU BERI ANGPOW  BIAR ANGPAU BESAR-BESAR BARU PIHAK

The Chief Secretary to the Government should step in to resolve the attire issue

Image
  I have read the explanation given by Hospital Kampar director, Dr khairul azha Azam.          I think it deserves some scrutiny. Although none of us were there at the scene, and it is now a "she says, they say" kind of story, anyone with a right frame of mind would not believe what was being said.           Should the case be even brought to court, the Honorable Judge would have to weigh the facts.           Here was a lady who was rushed to the hospital nearly midnight. She must be in a critical situation, or else, she would be spending the evening with her friends having teh tarik after the badminton game.          The medical officer should have immediately given her the medical treatment instead of ensuring that she was "well-dressed for the occasion."           To me, her explanation is simply not plausible, and if anything, it was just too lame for the Honourable Judge to accept.           If the woman had been told that the medical officer will provide the

What another issue about attire? Now, it’s the hospital!

    By Stephen Ng   Just less than two weeks ago, a complainant had brought to light her problem with attire when she was not allowed to enter the District Police Headquarters to lodge a police report.          Understandably, she had had an accident, and wanted to lodge the police report before settling down at home.          Now, a young woman who was suffering from acute stomach pain was refused treatment at the emergency centre of the Kampar Hospital by a nurse, just because she was still wearing her pair of short pants when rushed to the hospital.          Understandably, she was at a badminton game, and having sharp stomach pain, she could not have gone home to change to a proper attire before entering the hospital.          I see this as a problem of lack of compassion for a sick patient, and where the nurse is concerned, she had no rights to refuse the young woman the medical treatment that she needed just because of her attire.          Her attitude is deplor

Take heed. Please do not bribe any officers these days

 Take heed. Please do not bribe any officers these days.  More cases are now being addressed, which is good. Hopefully, in the country, it will be much easier for businesses people to operate their businesses. Some unnecessary licenses can be done away with. Deadlines can be set for the officers to approve or reject a license, instead of longer waiting periods.  Any other good suggestions?  https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/02/14/3-hospital-workers-jailed-over-bribes-to-secure-funeral-services/ https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/02/12/umrah-quota-syndicate-macc-arrests-md-of-tour-agency/ https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2023/02/14/in-melaka-man-charged-with-receiving-over-rm100000-from-transport-companies-as-inducement-for-jpj-officers/54886 https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/02/14/macc-probes-finances-of-former-minister-linked-to-pandora-papers/ https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/02/13/university-s

From Hak Milik Sementara to Geran

Image
  What you should be getting is Geran (above), not  Hakmilik Sementara (below) Housebuyers are usually very ignorant. They are issued Qualified Titles, not it should be -- the Title Deed or Grant.           For this discussion, we will only focus on Geran and Hakmilik Sementara. It is not the 99-year-old lease title or freehold title. Please don't talk about this in this blogpost. Leasehold and Freehold is a state matter, not a federal issue that the Minister can handle.           Look at your document to see if you have the words 'Hakmilik Sementara' or 'Geran.' This is important.           'Geran' means that the title is complete. 'Hakmilik Sementara' means that your developer has not carried out the survey yet or submitted the survey to the Land Office so that your individual titles (or 'Geran') can be issued. Because the Survey has not carried out yet, the title issued to you is 'Hakmilik Sementara' (or Qualified Title).
