TM (Telecom Malaysia) SUCKS!!!

Pick up from Patrick Teoh's blog....to heed his call for spreading the monopoly & lucrative business in Malaysia that sucks all the way to the bones.

It's been 3 maybe 4.......maybe 5 days? I don't remember and I have given up counting. But it's been days since I went to that Kedai TM Point at Ampang Point to transfer my phone and Streamyx to a new address. I do remember distinctly the TM pegawai fler's parting words were, "Kalau ada apa apa masaalah uncle panggil la nombor ni...100"

This morning I discovered that I cannot call 100 except from a TM landline! Which of course I don't have because they take at least 9 working days to affect a change of address. And I have yet had no call from the 'contractor' which would have marked the 1st day of the wait. So I am still in limbo as far as my phone line and Streamyx are concerned.

TM must be one of the most inefficient monopolies in Malaysia.

Some weeks ago when the other flers were doing their POTONG ads all over the place, TM came out with their defence. Remember that newspaper ad which showed some guy leaning out of his window with a gadget that looked incredibly like the Potong tool? The tagline in that TM ad was Why go with the unknown? My friend, Kurt came out with the perfect answer......

COS THE KNOWN SUCKS!

Toking-Kok

Wah ah ah....our DPM actually claimed this in his visit to Sarawak??? Just go and check the amount of laughter he created by claiming fancies-that-only-can-come-out-from-his-stupid-mouth!!!

"Malaysia hoped to share its teaching standard with other countries in the region paving the way for the nation to becoming a centre of education excellence.

........Malaysia’s education system was gaining international attention with the country being recognised as having an effective conventional and religious curriculum by various groups"........Muhyiddin Yassin, education minister and deputy prime minister speaking at a launching ceremony at the Malaysian Teachers Education Inst­itute Tawau campus in Balung.

EAT YOUR LUNG OUT....readers!

Shameful

Pick from blog zorro-unmasked...find the link in my blog.


Malaysiakini has this story of one Mohammed Fazdil bin Bahari, a pre-operative transsexual known as Fatine, who upon marrying a British man in a civil ceremony, was refused a permanent visa on technical grounds.

Immigration Department director-general Abdul Rahman Othman said that once deported to Malaysia, Fatine could be banned from travelling overseas for at least two years.

"The penalty imposed on Fatine may be more severe than the two-year passport issuance deferment as he has brought great shame upon us," he said.

Instead of being sympathetic with a distraught Malaysian in an immigration tangle, Abdul Rahman played god and maufactured this shame.

Abdul Rahman, you really want to know what SHAME is?

We should be ashamed that:

That 114 cases involving illegal funds transfer were detected from 2006 to 2009.

In March 2008, a wife of a senior minister transferred funds amounting to RM600,000 to Dubai. Between June and August 2008, a 'Tan Sri' transferred 3.5 million pounds sterling (RM22.2 million) to the United Kingdom.

Last week, Bank Negara confirmed that it is investigating Negeri’s MD Mohamad's alleged transfer of RM10 million to London.

Last week billions were siphoned off in Sarawak!

Shouldn't we be ashamed that:

630 Malaysians leave the country everyday!

304,358 Malaysians were reported to have migrated from March 2008 to August 2009.

You not ashamed of:

our shambled judiciary
our mounting crime rates
illegal immigrants galore in our midst
2000 over deaths in custody

There are too many things for us to be ashamed of, I am ashamed of these, are you?
