Streamyx Really Sucks! Macam Gampang!

4 comments

If it is not because of killing people is wrong, long time I had been thinking of bombing the Telekom Malaysia Tower.

It has been a week the streamyx service was super damn slow. I cannot do almost every things via Internet. I Hate this! When we apply the service and sign the contract with Telekom Malaysia, it was stated that the sole Internets service provider would provide us a better service via 100 Mbps fast Internets broadband. But tell me, in a day, how long that we really get that 100 Mbps?.. not even a seconds! On average is only between 50 to 60 Mbps.

But we all Malaysian never complain about this. Our brain keep saying, it is better than nothing. Sigh. Why can't we fight for our right? Boycott Telekom Malaysia. Why can't we get what we are paying? Why can't we have the mentality like those from developed nation. They all speak up. They fight for their right. Sigh....

It was not the first time it happened. In December 2008, TM streamyx connection was slow due to the disruption of their Internet services caused by circuit fault on the Southeast Asia – Middle East – Western Europe 4 (SMW4) submarine cable network between Palermo (Southern Italy) and Alexandria (Northern Egypt) linking Malaysia to Europe.

On January 06, 2009, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) announced to her customers that the restoration works on the Southeast Asia – Middle East – Western Europe 4 (SMW4) submarine cable network between Palermo (Southern Italy) and Alexandria (Northern Egypt) linking Malaysia to Europe, has been fully completed.

However, come February 2009, TM Streamyx connection still sucks and frequently disconnected. Apparently their technology infrastructure still sucks.

I called TmNet more than 10 times today and I only get their respond twice. Among all, I did complained about the slower data transfer while surfing the net. The first time I called, their excuse was , they were having an issues of the sea bed cable to Hong Kong and US. Hence that was why we can't access many websites. The second time I called, their excuse was , doing regular maintenance. What de...!@@$@##!$....

I was really fed up. After tonnes of curses to their customer services, I told them that they were lucky. Really really lucky. Because they are the biggest ISP in Malaysia. And as one of those with full support from the government, we we left with no choice. Wait.. Just wait when opposition took over the administration. When the time come, they wont be any monopolisation for any services by only one company. Then they will see how high is the sky. huh.. Damn Suck! Macam gampang!

Legal Issue in Contract Law In Malaysia

2 comments
It has been weeks I havent put any post here. Sorry for those waiting, I was damn busy with works etc...

OK, this is something I like to share with you from one of my seminar recently. If you find this informative, pls circulate. It was conducted by A/P Catherine Tay on Legal issues in E-commerce.

Notice that most of the time, the receipt / invoice you received from the merchant carries this exclusion clause or similarly worded statement: ' Goods sold are not returnable' or 'No refund once sold'.

The thing that I have learnt from her is that : 'As long as your good is purchased for home use and not for business (i.e. to be resold), the above exclusion clause is VOID.

That means, as long as the good is defective, regardless of what is worded, you CAN get back all your money spent ... You do not have to accept a repair on the good or an exchange. You CAN ask for a refund. AND you are LEGALLY right and entitled to! What a revelation!!

And most of the time the merchant will refuse to return you your money.

Her advice? From her own experience ( and no less than 7 and all successful!) , she will threaten the merchant with four words: 'SEE YOU IN COURT!'

The court here refers to the Small Claims Tribunal Court .

However, you don't have to tell them what court! All you have to pay is RM10 admin fee and the loser (the merchant) will have to refund you the money PLUS the admin fee!

She shared this with us because she felt that even educated people are cowed by such unfair wordings (which includes her jaded friends who are not lawyers)...

Pls try not to let the merchant fleece you the next time you have a defective good.

I know where to file this. On the 16th floor of Putra Place (The Mall opposite Putra World Trade Centre) . The form cost RM5.00. The Tribunal will settle within 2 months period.

Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia,
Tingkat 16, Putra Place,
100, Jalan Putra,
50622 KUALA LUMPUR

Hope it will help.

Know Your Right ... When Dealing With Police

1 comments
I met a guy name Sean in Ampang few days ago through one of my girl friend. Well we went "drinking" with few other friends.

Sean is a very nice guy. Although he never finish his education (the highest level of ed he ever been was in form 1), but he talk like a lawyer. Believe me.

Well, when you do something "against the law", off course you will feel bit scare. Especially for a guy like me, which my friends always labeled me as "budak kampung" (country boy).

Through out our meeting, Sean never stop talking and laughing. He told me, to know my rights when dealing with police / authorities. According to him , lots of his friends had been bullied by police for a minor mistake. If you get caught by two police doing "something" in the car, the only thing that the police can ask you to do is, to Stop and Go Back. The police has no rights or what so ever to bring you to the court and charge you under Sharia law if you are a Muslims. According to Sharia law, they should posses 4 witnesses, only that you will be charged. And if you are non-Muslims, just show to them (the police) your "so-what-face" and it will shut them off. And most important thing , do not show your "kesian - please forgive me face". If you do, please make sure you have thick wallet.

Same thing, if you get caught driving naked in KL at 3 am, just tell the police, "please let me go back to put some cloth on". Serious. The police has no right what so ever to issue you any summon for the thing you had commit. Remember, you are in your car, and hey, it is 3 am, all people are sleeping , only police bothering some people private business. There is no provision in our law that you are subject to be sue because of driving naked. But off course, I am not encouraging you to do that. But just in case you wanna do it, and you get caught, please do as what I said.

How To Be A Metro Sexual Without Being Gay

4 comments

Ok.. As promised , Now I will provide you a guideline that I created my self on how to be a metro sexual without being gay.

First of all, what is Metro sexual? Can we be one?

Metrosexuality is, at it's most basic, a manner in which a straight man displays the more feminine actions and concern for appearance and behaviour. If you notice it is often associated with the stereotypical "gay man." In other words, the typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis – because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference.

So can we be metro sexual? Yes, remember metro sexual is not a sexual identity or sexual preference. It is just this: a man who is meticulous about his appearance, fashion and is very well groomed.

It doesn't take much to look presentable. You don't need to look like Gene Kelly and you don't need to wear Italian suits to the office in order to reap the benefits. A little bit goes a long way.

Here is some Basic guideline that you might follow.

1. Prepare to defend your sexual orientation. Chances are, people will make assumptions that you like other men. Be gentle to woman and firm to men.

2. Become increasingly concerned about your physical appearance. Work out at least 3 to 4 times a week. Take care of your teeth. This is very important. See your dentist at least once in six month. Wash your face everyday and make an efforts to do facial. You will be surprised how much better your face looks with all the dirt, residue, and blackheads properly removed.

3. Become in touch with your emotions. Metrosexual men generally don't display the stoic, unemotional nature of the stereotypical heterosexual man. Be vigilant and firm. Always be in control. Talk like a men.

4. Become an "urbanite." Focus on acting as a member of high society without being snooty. Eat at fancier, trendier (sometimes) restaurants, take interest in how your house or condo look like.

5. Don't try too hard. It's hard to "become" metro, you sort of have to feel it. If you simply think "act gay" then people might, at best, think you're actually gay, or at worst, find you offensive by perpetuating stereotypes. If you aren't feeling it, don't try it.

Why Really Handsome Men Are Gays.......?

2 comments

I had a coffee and toasted bread during breakfast with my female friend - Tina, this morning. While we are enjoying our meals, there were one guy coming in and sat to the next table. Handsome and gorgeous. I noticed that my female friend got distracted by that. Suddenly, his phone (the guy) ringing... Well, since we were sitting to the next table, we overheard his conversation. It is something like this.

"Hey nok... Mana kau pegi nok.. malam tadi, mak kluar ngan jantan nok.... 9 inchi nyahhh... aduh... menggapai syurga mak nokkkk..."

(Translation: Hay girls... where have you been, last night mummy have a date with a guy, 9 inches you!... adduuhh... mummy feel like entering the heaven......"

Tina and I just looked at each other. We lost word. Seriously.....

We were pause for a while before I called the bills.

Before we left, Tina asked me... "Johan, why really handsome men are gays?"

Whithout looking at Tina, I replied.. " Who told you I am gay?" She laugh.

Tina was not wrong implying gay men want to look handsome. But She was not right either.

I guess there is a tendency amongst a lot of gay men to pay a bit more attention to the way they look. And many straight guys just doesnt care of how they look. My friend used to complaint that when his girlfriend buy him clothes , she always make him "look gay"!).

Taking care of your appearance doesn't make you a gay. In fact, there is a guideline of being metro sexual without crossing the gay boundary. I think i will talk more details about it in my next post. Only that it is a nature for gay men to look good make many people think georgeous and handsome are gays. There are many, many gorgeous straight or heterosexual men out there. What? Never find one?.. Call me!!
