Are We Really That Bad?

According to the article "Bad driving irritates us most" ("The Star) by Clara Chooi, "driving like a maniac, queue jumping and spitting in public – these are the top three peeves for Malaysians. According to the results of the survey, bad driving grumbled its way to the top of the list, with 86% of respondents agreeing that it should be the "winner"."

Bad driving.

Are we really that bad? Most agree that Malaysian drivers have been synonymous with BAD DRIVERS. Even foreigners living in this country think so.

Do we know why?

During a conversation with some friends last weekend, a friend brought up a reason: LACK OF CIVIL AWARENESS.

Lack of civil awareness. Kekurangan kesedaran sivik. Well I can't agree more. For instance, when we see a pedestrian (a kid or an old woman using a freakin' cane to walk, who cares) crossing the road in front of us, we tend to hit the gas, somewhat "threatening" to hit the innocent pedestrian. When I was studying in the United States, from my observation, I can see that American drivers/motorists slow down, unexpectedly giving way to the pedestrians. It was a culture shock, really. Pedestrians and cyclists are given the priority. But perhaps that only applies in the rural areas, drivers in big cities like New York, Chicago and Bostons are impatient drivers too. We all tend to be impatient when we're stuck in long traffic jams eh? But still I strongly feel that drivers in Chicago are better drivers than us.

Nonetheless having said all this, I have another theory why we are such bad drivers. Why do we drive 160 km/h in a 110 km/h zone? Why do we hit the red lights? Why do we ignore the stop signs? Why do we overtake/pass other cars in double lines? Why we never bother to use the freakin' helmet?

My theory: The PRECONCEPTION that we can bribe Law Enforcement Officers.

Ah yes. Bribery.

The bribery issue in Malaysia may not be as terrible as India, but it's still a major problem we need to tackle, together. Okay how much is a speeding ticket nowadays? RM300? RM400? Depends. But would be a no brainer if we could settle the matter immediately with just as low as RM50.00. Easy. Simple. No hassle. We don't even have to go to court. Yes, it would be unethical, but sometimes that would be the last thing on our mind. Who cares about ethics if we could save hundreds of dollars on speeding tickets?

When we drive above the speed limit or break any other laws, we have these kinds of crazy ideas (PRECONCEPTIONS):
i) I've been speeding in this area for 5 years and never get a speeding ticket. Ever.
ii) The Law Enforcement Officers are never around anyway, so who cares? Good for me!
iii) Even if I do get caught, well, tough luck bro. But I still can get away with a RM50.00 bribe. These law enforcement officers need to "cari makan" too.

A relative of mine got his VALID motorcycle license for only RM60.00. He doesn't need to go through the hassle of driving tests and whatever. Can you believe it, there's even corruption in driving tests? No wonder there are so many unqualified drivers/motorists on the road! For merely RM60, we're allowing a young naive kid to be on the road legally, without the proper training and test. Well I gotta say my relative turned out to be a very good and careful motorist, thank God, but what about others? Do we dare to say thousands others, who bribe the officers to get valid licenses? Are we surrounded by hundreds of motorists everyday, who don't deserve to be on the road? What a thought.

What do you guys think?

Jodoh?

This entry was written last January 7th, 2005. I was about to write about the very same topic today, so I figured I can just make some editions.

I heard and read somewhere that there are 3 things set from azali:

i) Jodoh
ii) Rezeki
iii) Ajal

I'm just wondering, if "Jodoh itu di tangan Tuhan", why are there so many divorces and failed marriages in our society, not just in Western countries like the United States? Does that means "Dah tiada jodoh" or "Jodoh itu tidak panjang?" (as mentioned by a friend). I had trouble figuring that one out. What does the phrase "Jodoh itu di tangan Tuhan" actually means? Does that mean some unlucky people won't be able to meet their jodoh in their lifetime?

As we all know, to look for a life partner we should also doa' + effort/usaha + tawakkal as well. What if the marriage still fails? Perhaps an arranged marriage will last longer/work better rather than we look for a partner ourselves. Hmmmm when two people are in love and get married, does that mean they've found jodoh in themselves? What if for some reasons they get divorced years later, find somebody else and the second marriage lasts forever? Which one is jodoh then?

Some questions/thoughts on my mind:

1) Hypothetically speaking. A loving couple has been together for many many years. They were extremely close with each other's family, trust each other with all their heart and one day they decided to settle down. Get married. Tie the knot. But the marriage turned out to be a complete disaster. They tried everything they could to save it, but a few years later, they decided to go their separate ways. What does that mean? "Jodoh mereka tidak panjang?", even though they work really hard for it? They are simply not meant for each other?

2) Perhaps the actual definition for "Jodoh tidak panjang" is when a husband or a wife passed away early in the marriage, much to the the dismay that they're like the "perfect couple" you'll ever know? That makes more sense right? They are so right for each other, but Death is also set from Azali. What if your spouse passed away, you managed to move on and get married for the second time and live happily ever after with your new life partner. Does that mean you're lucky to find 2 jodohs in your lifetime?

3) To find the right (not perfect) wife or husband, one should practise consistent doa' + effort/usaha + tawakkal. We're not gonna find anyone by just waiting in the house, hoping and hoping every single day that one fine day, Mr./Mrs. Right will come knocking through front door. It doesn't work that way. A friend mentioned to me years ago, arranged marriage might work better than the conventional ones because both party are willing to make the marriage work. Both party agreed and willingly participate in the arranged marriage, having the preconception that they must put their utmost effort the make the marriage last. But what if the marriage still fails? I know such couple who ended up that way. It's such a pity because I know both the husband and wife wanted it to work so bad, but yet.

4) Muslim men are allowed (I want to use the word "entitled" but it's too strong) to have 4 wives. Which one is his jodoh? The first one? Because that's his first love? What about the second one? Third one? Fourth one? Which one then? All of them?

Can anyone explain this to me? Any experts in this particular field? Thanks in advance.



Anyways, on a lighter note, check out this article from Berita Harian, a few months back:

Edisi KL : Anak mami paling mahal

KUALA LUMPUR: ‘Anak mami’ terus mengungguli kedudukan sebagai pengantin paling mahal untuk lelaki berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana yang meminang mereka.

Ia bukan saja disebabkan wang hantaran tinggi, malah pihak lelaki kini terpaksa menghadiahkan barangan sampingan ‘wajib’ berupa berlian.

Difahamkan, pemberian berlian sebagai sebahagian daripada hantaran perkahwinan kini menjadi kemestian di kalangan keluarga pengantin ‘anak mami’ sebelum menerima pinangan.

Ini berikutan keluarga pengantin perempuan dikatakan tidak lagi berminat dengan hantaran emas yang dianggap ketinggalan zaman, sebaliknya menetapkan berlian sebagai syarat mengahwini anak gadis mereka.

Ini bermakna, purata hantaran untuk pengantin ‘anak mami’ boleh mencapai RM25,000 apabila RM8,000 hingga RM15,000 dikhaskan untuk wang hantaran, manakala selebihnya bagi membeli barangan gelang, rantai dan cincin bertatahkan berlian.

Itu belum termasuk belanja lain seperti kos mengadakan majlis perkahwinan yang boleh mencecah RM50,000 bagi golongan sederhana.

Perancang perkahwinan selebriti, Abu Faizul Abu Bakar atau Pak Abu, berkata pemberian perhiasan berlian daripada lelaki sebagai hantaran menjadi suatu kemestian kepada ‘anak mami’.

Beliau berkata, perhiasan itu dianggap wajib disediakan kerana ada beranggapan ‘anak mami’ mempunyai paras rupa yang cantik, berhidung mancung yang jarang didapati oleh gadis Melayu lain.

“Antara perkara pertama diutamakan ketika hari persandingan ‘anak mami’ adalah rantai atau gelang bertatahkan berlian. Mereka tak main emas... ketinggalan zaman, hanya berlian.

“Ia bukanlah sesuatu yang diadakan untuk bermegah atau ingin membebankan lelaki, tetapi sudah menjadi budaya keluarga mami untuk memberi perhiasan berlian kepada bakal isteri.

“Walaupun nampak seperti membebankan, ia dianggap penting kerana bukan calang-calang orang boleh memikat anak mami,” katanya kepada Harian Metro.

‘Anak mami’ merujuk kepada gadis berketurunan India Muslim di Pulau Pinang. Golongan itu menjadi buruan lelaki kerana mempunyai keistimewaan tersendiri, terutama berhidung mancung, kulit hitam manis dan kebiasaannya memiliki susuk badan tinggi dan menawan.

Mereka menjadi pilihan, terutama lelaki meminati filem Bollywood yang kerap memaparkan aktres cantik seperti Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor dan Ashwariya Rai.

Apapun, menurut Pak Abu, ibu bapa sekarang juga tidak lagi menganggap hantaran kahwin tinggi sebagai ‘menjual’ anak kerana menyedari kos taraf hidup yang meningkat naik.

Beliau yang pernah menguruskan perkahwinan Erra Fazira dan Yusri, berkata kos standard bagi mengadakan perkahwinan diadakan di rumah pengantin di kawasan bandar ketika ini, meliputi belanja kenduri, hantaran dan persandingan selalunya mencecah RM70,000.

Letter of Complaint to TMNet

A friend of mine, Khairi Ismail (a.k.a. K.E.) requested me to publish his complaint letter here. He sent the letter to a national newspaper, but I understand that it's not gonna be published, for some reasons. I do not know much about the Streamyx service since I'm only using dial up myself, but perhaps, we can share such terrible stories of customer service in our beloved country, Malaysia.

Isn't it ironic that Malaysia Airlines use the tagline "The most comfortable place on earth is often not on earth" for their marketing campaign? Arguably the best customer service in Malaysia, is indeed, not on earth. Literally not on Malaysia soil.

Anyways, don't let me start about Astro. I'll write about them some other time. By the way, Astro never bother to reply. Not even a decent explanation or an apology :).

What about the government customer service?



My Share of Horrifying Nightmare of TM Net Streamyx Service in Bukit Jelutong

I regret to write this matter in a national newspaper since TM Net is not helpful and failed to solve my miss-capped bandwidth problem at my home in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam. I am one among the unfortunates who have no option to subscribe to a broadband service save only TM Net Streamyx.

Early November this year, TM Net technician installed the so called "1mbps Streamyx service" at my home as registered by me. It took TM Net three months to finalize the service installation, but I was relieved that finally I can browse the internet faster then dial-up and save money with unlimited usage.

The nightmarish experience started when I visited the TM Net Speedometer website to check my connection speed. The result was not up to par with my subscribed service because I was only getting 30% from the subscribed 1mbps service. Thus, I made a call through their helpline and was told by their representative to call the next day to check whether the problem was resolved. The next day, I gave them a call and I was told by their representative that the Streamyx’s technician made faulty installation at their premise where they incidentally cap my connection speed to 512kbps instead of 1mbps. This is what I called as incompetence.

Thus, began my daily crusade against TM Net helpline that dragged me for almost three weeks. This call to TM Net helpline continues everyday which began to irritate me and adding to my house phone bill which is not a toll free number. Eventually, after several reports being made, the issue escalates to a critical point when TM Net helpline supervisor saw this matter personally. They promised me to fix this problem immediately and even told me that a technician would come over, which never had. I even took a day off waiting for the technician. In return, TM Net never did a courtesy call to apologize. Instead, it sounds funnier in TM Net feedback reports that they eventually called me twice as mentioned over a telephone conversation by their representative. There were also times when I requested a supervisor and there was none around. I started to suspect that their supervisors were tired of hearing complains or they were trying to avoid me. Thus, I leave my phone number in hope for them to call me back and they never did! How thick my report should be before actions are taken? Or do you want me to pile it in front of the management door step?

Ironically, contradicting to their sloppiness in handling technical problems, TM Net surprised me when they send their bill early and yet charging me for 1mbps connection which I never had. Logically thinking, why should I pay full for a service that is partially delivered? Instead, they should compensate me for rebates on ripping my wallet for phone calls made to their helpline, for their failure on delivering expected service, for my day off to class and also for my hassle going through this torturing process.

Dear TM Net, I am mortified for being your customer. It is true what others said on the forums on the internet about your service. If you typed TM Net on Google, you would see links to other sites that expressed their dissatisfaction with TM Net Streamyx service; however, links to your site is overshadowed by these immense complaints by your users. Does the management failed to see this? I am puzzled to see with all the corporate re-branding you did but still nothing was done to improve the efficiency of your service. If there were a chance for me to rate your service from scale one to ten, I would gladly put a negative value. You have made me unhappy and this long letter explains well enough the time and effort I have put in to express my contempt.

The moot point is that I urge the government and NGOs to look into this matter seriously as this is an injustice done by a corporate company to deceive customers by delivering end products that is not up to their promises and letting it displayed clearly on their advertisement and yet charging their users on full amount. Why does TM Net does not put the “true speed” of their service after considering the technical aspect of their end products after it is delivered to the end user? As far as my knowledge goes the end user only gets 70% from their subscribed speed. Does TM Net put capital letters ink-blocks in their advertisement stating that end users will only get 70% from their subscribed speed? Instead, they highlighted the so called "1mbps" and "512kbps". Think of the people who have the same problem as me but not an IT literate; how unfortunate they are getting deceived by TM Net. Think about TM Net raking dishonest profits out of their many users.

As for me, what I am asking from TM Net is nothing more then to get the service that I subscribed for and paid for. I am tired of waging phone wars and want to live a peaceful life. I am tired of paying unreliable service that it is not up to its promises. I am tired of paying full on a service that I partially receive. Please stop the red-tapes and lame excuses and get things to work again. To assist you, here is my report numbers (4856537, 4957451, 4817192, 4833854) and please contact me personally at my cell phone listed in those reports.

As I am writing this letter, my internet connection is down for three days and I remember TM Net lame excuse "Speed is based on best effort service" and I thought oh well they are not doing their best today and I have to pay full service.

Khairi Ismail
Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam

Affordable New Cars for Fresh Graduates

Joe asked me to write about "Affordable New Cars for Fresh Graduates". So here it is. Before anything, I wanna stress here that I'm no expert. Just some thoughts and opinions (I know serih & syah want me to say "2 cents"), based on my limited experience and observation.

Tips/Advices:

i) Choose Practicality over Looks/Exterior.
* With the ever rising fuel prices nowadays, give more priority to fuel efficient cars. The lower the CCs, the better.
* If you're gonna be stuck in traffic for 3 hours every day, perhaps you should choose Automatic Transmission (AT) than Manual Transmission (MT). But again, it's entirely up to your preference. Anyways, Manual Transmission (MT) cars will save significantly on fuel.
* If you're gonna have more than 2 passengers most of the time, choose 5-door cars than 3-door cars like Proton Satria. Don't go for Proton Satria just because it looked more sporty than Proton Iswara.
* If you're driving back to kampung every month, choose a higher CC for a smoother and more comfortable ride.
* If you wanna make out in a car, choose a spacious 5-door car. Space would provide you more opportunities to try many positions you can ever imagine of. Perodua Kenari anyone?

ii) Buy Your First Car and Stick To It.
A few years back I tagged along my cousin and his friend to purchase a brand new car somewhere in Wangsa Maju. It appears that my cousin’s friend had just a salary increase a few days back and would like to upgrade his Perodua Kancil to a bigger car. Something that suits his age and new salary range. After considering a few options, he decided to get a brand new Proton Waja, a quite significant change from his first car after graduation, Perodua Kancil.

As a result, he lost so much after the trade in. The value of his Perodua Kancil depreciate so quickly after a few years, that he ended up paying so much more.

When you're financially stable and you can afford a second car, just go nuts. Buy your dream car. Peugeot. Toyota Harrier. Whatever. Keep your first car after graduation and make it your second. Don't just change cars when you get a raise. You'll lose so so much dawg.

iii) Avoid New and Second Hand Continental Cars.
As far as spare parts and maintenance are concerned, we should avoid Continental Cars (European cars) for the obvious reasons. Yeah of course Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Renault, Peugeot (especially Peugeot, nyum nyum) and others looked really good on the road, but trust me you wouldn't like the price tag of those damn spare parts. Fresh graduates are tempted to buy second hand Continental cars, but I suggest to hold your thought first before you're financially stable.

iv) Learn A Thing or Two about Cars.
It would help a lot if you personally know some mechanics (close relatives especially), when your car is in trouble, or in need of maintenance. If you don't know much about engines, you're putting yourself in a vulnerable position to be lied by sneaky mechanics. They're just make up some stuff about how you need to change your oil filter or else your engine will over heat and one day it will explode...Uuuuuuuuu.

So date a mechanic, or sleep with one. Just kidding.

But if you don't, well. Things to check: Engine oil, spark plug, steering oil, brake oil/fluid, air filter, oil filter, automatic transmission fluid, battery, wiper, brake lamp, head light.

v) For better mileage, choose Shell.
Honestly, I don't believe it at first. I had my skeptics alright. So why don't you try it yourself? When you're going back to kampung, fill up your tank full with Esso or Mobil or Projet or Caltex or BP or whatever. On the way back, fill up your tank with Shell. You'll notice the difference. This is not a free advertisement for Shell.

If you ask me, my personal favorite for a national car is Perodua Myvi. In my opinion, this is the VALUE FOR MONEY. And it doesn't looked too shabby after all. Looked nice really.

World's Sexiest City?

It's the time of the year again.

The wedding season.

You know when you're about to leave a wedding, you shake hands with the newly married couple (and their parents), wishing them "Selamat Pengantin Baru, Semoga Berbahagia Hingga ke Anak Cucu or simply just, "Congratulations on your beautiful wedding" with a pat on the back. Being the busy body that I am, wahahahahaha I usually ask them another question, "So honeymoon kat maner? Nyum Nyum..". Minus the "nyum nyum" sometimes. Menyibuk jer aku kan?

Frequent answers I received:

i) Within Malaysia: Langkawi Island, Pangkor Island, Redang Island, Tioman Island, Perhentian Island, Cherating, Cameron Highlands
These are the most preferred honeymoon spots for Malaysians, at least the ones that I'm aware of. I don't know about you guys. Perhaps my family, friends and neighbours chose these destinations because of financial limitations, since they've spent quite a significant amount of money for the wedding itself. And of course, there's nothing wrong with that. The whole point is to spend quality time with your loved one, no matter where you are. To a couple that I know, a decent hotel room anywhere with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door is good enough.

ii) Overseas: Bali, Paris, Bangkok, Maldives, Mauritius, New York City, Hawaii, London
A few friends and acquaintances of mine can afford luxurious honeymoon trips outside of the country. Some trips could cost MORE than an average Malay wedding, not to mention the small weddings in villages. But who cares right if they can afford it right? After all, it's a special day for them to remember. A sacred and special moment in your life that you wanna cherish the memories forever.


The other day I was reading an old magazine (no, it's not Playboy magazine, thank you very much) and came across a Durex Global Sex Survey for 2001 (not the latest one though). According to the Americans, the world's sexiest cities are:
1) Paris (38%)
2) Venice (17%)
3) New York City (12%)

Paris, better known as The City of Love is unmistakably the obvious favorite for the Americans with a staggering 40% of the total votes. Do you agree? I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit New York City for 3 times, but not in a honeymoon trip of course. Heh heh.

For the sake of discussion, financial constraints aside, what is YOUR ideal honeymoon spot? Your sexiest city in the world? Mine would be Paris.

Paris? Venice? New York City? Amsterdam? London? New Zealand? Hawaii? Bali? Tupah?

I'm curious to know. As always.
