PosMalaysia's inefficiency

Here I am again, ranting bout the same old thing. Again. Yet the funny part is, despite complaints and suggestions given, nothing has been done to improve. Is this really how any national company should operate in this country?

It is interesting to note that a national delivery company is doing tonnes of other things - payment for utilities bills, assessments and such - and is currently offering even more services or products for sale in its outlets. Yet, it can't even accomplish service efficiency in its core product/service - which is national delivery.

Then again, perhaps this is only a problem faced by small town people of RAWANG. I have heard from friends that in their locations such as Subang or Petaling, the outlets provide a separate counter to handle deliveries - this work best mainly because customers who just want to drop a quick parcels will not be stuck with others who are queuing up to pay their bills. This strategy make much more sense as focus are given to their core product/service. And of course, when there's no customer wanting delivery, the staffs can easily switch back to work on those bills. 

Oh, since now I'm on the others or extra services - it is amusing to see how often the system breaks down which causes furious customers who either waiting in line, or customers who faced the same "System Down" the day before - shoots out burning fire breaths! Sometimes I take pity with the staffs, for their are not to be blamed for system failure and such. On other occasions I will be part of the pissed-off group, due to rude staffs and their extremely slow work attitude.

As PosMalaysia Rawang has just recently moved into AEON Rawang last month, it is understandable things can be a little messy. But surely, this move is not very sudden? I was told that the reason for the move is because the last location in a shop is getting very crowded and mainly they want to employ more staffs to deal with the crowd. Yet after a month of opening in AEON, no new staff has been employed - meaning to say the time is too short to hire? Like seriously?

Perhaps I should really take a fellow friend's suggestion into action. Open a booth outside PosMalaysia - service for sale is online bill payment with just RM2 charge. Surely I can easily make a hundred a day. All I need is - a laptop, internet connection and a printer.

Animals who has more love than humans

I saw this lovely post on ViralNova.com and I just can't let it go without reposting it. After all, it is a beautiful story, and I cried a little at the end. I hope you love it as much as I do <3

What These 11 Animals Did Made Me Cry A Bucket Of Tears. The Most Touching Thing I’ve Ever Seen. 

If you’ve ever doubted that animals have souls and are capable of caring on a deep level, this is going to change your mind. Here are 11 examples of animals being the beautiful creatures that we know they are – you might not need tissues, but it wouldn’t hurt to grab one first.

1. Yang Yun was free diving when she discovered, at the bottom of an arctic pool, that her legs cramped up and she couldn’t move.

She said, “I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me – I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface.” A Beluga whale saw what was happening and lifted her to safety.

2. This is Oscar, a cat that lived in a nursing home. He could sense when someone was going to die, and he would sit quietly on their bed during their final moments.

One surviving family member of a resident that passed with Oscar by his side said, “Oscar’s presence gave a sense of completion and contentment. Oscar brought a special serenity to the room. What’s more peaceful than a purring cat? What sound more beautiful to fill one’s ears when leaving this life?”

3. When Cindy the chimp died of heart failure, all of the other chimps at this rescue in Cameroon hugged each other and watched in solidarity. A truly beautiful, amazing moment.

4. The amazing story of Christian the lion is one you will never forget.

5. These abused circus elephants were reunited 25 years later at an elephant sanctuary. Their story is moving.

6. Cows have best friends. They literally get depressed and their stress levels rise when they are not with their BFF.

7. It would be a travesty to leave out the gorilla that remembered his friend.

8. Five children were playing with this Jack Russell Terrier when some stray pit bulls attacked them. “George tried to protect us by barking and rushing at them,” said one of the children about the attack. George was bitten several times and died of his wounds. But he was given an award for his actions.

9. Koko the Gorilla watches her favorite movie and the result is a tear jerker.

10. This Staffordshire bull terrier saved his mommy and daddy. Patricia Adshead was in her house, making tea, when masked men wielding machetes entered. They sliced Patricia’s husband through his hand and went for her. That’s when Oi, the family dog, attacked the attackers. He was sadly hit with the machete, but still managed to chase them out of the house. He later died.

11. Irene Pepperberg had a beautiful relationship with her parrot, Alex. When he died in 2007, his last words to her were: “You be good – I love you.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to clean my face up.

Return of the Boom-Boom-Pow!

Actually, with that translated - It actually meant return of the crazy ass - ME!

Not much of a return. Early morning I know for sure what I wanted to talk about. As the day wears on and with me running around the house and doing works online, I suddenly "forgets".

Is it sign of old age? I hope not. I wish not. Hopefully it's just a matter of having "prawn brain". *cries*

It is now year-end, and like many, worries and issues are popping up more than those that you can actually do something about such as
- Crimes on the rise
- New GST introduced
- Petrol hike
- Electric hike
- Sugar hike
- Everyday food and product usage PRICE hike

I was told never to worry on things we can't do anything about. Well, okay. So I'll worry on money management? I've went for some interviews (it's there's a good offer, I'm the type to find out more) only to reject and get rejected on a few. Mostly want me to "slave" on it. It seems that companies these days always put such clause - "May need to work on Saturday or Sunday, or stay after work-hours" which I find ridiculous. You will hear managers telling you "Never bring your personal problems to work" but it seems okay to bring work home though.

Which is why I still prefer working for myself (it can be pretty stressful) but I am able to place myself on time-off when necessary. At the end of the day, it is a matter of priorities. I choose LIFE over money. I just need enough, not too much. I've seen some friends having the time of their lives travelling only to be in depression when back to work. You get what you give. In my case, I get to breathe.

RAPE is a CRIME, nothing less

RAPE has been legalised in this country! As in the minimal years of sentencing these criminal isn't enough, they can get away "scot-free" because they are either young first-time offender, cooperated with the police, shown remorse, had not been "very much older" than the minor and guarantee not to commit such offence again.

Over and over again, we read and listened and are exposed to news about women and children being raped around the globe. Over and over again, people are being educated that rape is a 'crime', and thus focus should be on the criminal, and not on the victim for the way they dress, they way they act for NO ONE ask to be raped!

As in the crime itself is not heinous enough, here in Malaysia - criminals are bound over for THEIR good behaviour. Definitely makes you wonder what kind of law there are (which are actually effective), to protect the victims in this country.

*-*-*

Case 1: A former national youth squad bowler NOOR AFIZAL AZIZAN was bound over for RM25,000 to be of good behavior for five years after he pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 13-years-old girl. 

Reason given by the Court of Appeal? He was 19 at the time of the offence, had not been "very much older" than the minor he had consensual sex with, had cooperated with the police, shown remorse, and guarantee that he would not commit such an offence again.

 # Question 1: Is 13-years-old OLD ENOUGH to give consensual sex and able to understand the outcome or result surrounding it? This girl is STILL a CHILD!

 # Question 2: Doesn't being "older" make him understand and realize the situation he's in MUCH BETTER?

 # Question 3: Does his "guarantee" actually warranted anything at all?

 # Question 4: If I stabbed a person, and I plead guilty, and that person allowed me to stab him/her, I cooperated with the police, shown remorse, and guarantee that I will not commit such thing again, will I too be freed?

 # And while the court has defended their decision, saying it has nothing to do with him being someone with power (even little), this decision proves to be rather suspicious, isn't it?

 # Will the court actually still have him bound over if she's their own daughter?

*-*-*

Case 2: A 22-years-old Electrician has been bound over on a good behaviour bond for RM25,000 to be of good behaviour for 3 years after being found guilty to the statutory rape of a 12-years-old girl and 10 months. 

Apparently, the court took into consideration that CHUAH GUAN JIU was a young, first-time offender, consensual sexual act, being a school dropout and HIS future.

The most interesting part are the details of this case which I listed below:

1. DPP Lim Cheah Yit said Chuah had coaxed the girl into skipping school and following him back to his flat on the pretext of him being sick.

2. "She asked him many times to take her to school but he said he was unwell and took her to his home," Lim had said when pressing for deterrent sentence.

3. Counsel Yusuf Idris said his client earned RM30 a day and was staying with his parents and a younger sibling.

4. "This is his first offence. He has a fixed job now and many years ahead of him," he said.

5. Yusuf said his client has repented and urged the court not to impose a custodial sentence in view of Chuah's age.

# Again, a girl who is still very much a child. Can she really consent to sex? 

# From the content of the case, it is highly understood that he has every intention to rape her (so what's so consensual about this?)

 # Does earning RM30 a day as well as staying with parents indirectly caused a person to have an urge to rape, or more precisely, why do that has anything to do with his own decision to rape?

 # Being a first-offender nor a school dropout DO NOT suggest that he will not do it again nor the fact that he do not realize the consequences of his action.

 # Age of a criminal has nothing to do with the crime he commit!!

It sure looks like our Malaysia Courts are lacking funds, else I can't see any reason why these two criminals are allowed to be in the society without any punishment to remind them that what they did is more than wrong, it's heinous. The fact that they are both adults (over the age of 18-years-old) and are more than capable in finding someone of eligible age for sex, speaks volume for their action. 

Despite that offence under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years and whipping, the fact that I have NEVER throughout these years notice that rapists are punished for more than 10 years shown how little the law cares to protect their very citizens.

I'm not even disappointed anymore, I'm DISGUSTED. Disgusted with the system. Disgusted with the law. Disgusted with this country. Disgusted with the fact that while nothing is being done about all this, the government/politicians are more concerned about protecting their asses with Section 114A of the Evidence Act of 1950 - which very existence is just to stop the citizens from finding out their dirty works in the ministry - just another ISA.

Malaysia declared as one of the safest countries in ASEAN. Seriously?

I find this piece of news extremely disturbing, as well as misleading to our own citizens and others. Perhaps the government want to create some sort of appeal to tourists, investors...  but to announce that we are one of the safest, is another level of bullshit all together.

If Malaysia is safe, why there has been a recent hike of cases report in the media - where women were stabbed and robbed in broad daylight?

If Malaysia is safe, why people are killed and kidnapped over a mere hundreds to several thousands Ringgit?

If Malaysia is safe, why crimes rates have steadily drastically increased over a span of several years?

If Malaysia is safe, how is it that the same robbers in my area are not caught up until today? It has been more than a year, to say the least. And amusingly, almost every single house in this area has been robbed at least once by the same people. So if Malaysia is safe, what are these issues?

People are getting desperate these days, with poor economy as well as rising living expenses. People are to be blamed as well, for feeding on their wants towards luxury lives, as encouraged by media and corporates alike.

People are kidnapped and ransom, even for a mere several thousands of Ringgit. Killed even. How about rates of crimes committed against women these days? They are targeted for their vulnerability where rapes and many other crimes continue to escalate. 

Problem with these robbers in Malaysia - they rob more than just cash. They robs their victims' lives as well. Do you even hear of robbers just taking cash and snatching stuffs then leave? They stab and slash you before you can react. COLD BLOODED ANIMALS on the prowl. That's what they are. And our government can't seem to stop them. Why is that the case?

Are policemen not motivated even enough to protect the citizens? If so, then why are they even hired as policemen to begin with? And to say the least, sometimes the police themselves are the criminal instead!

We, the people in Malaysia, are living our lives in fear... unable to trust the police, unable to trust the government, unable to trust our neighbours, nor even friends. It's a sad time indeed for everyone. Thus I'm not at all surprised to notice how people are turning colder and hostile towards one another.

Government should revamp the laws. Laws are to be updated as civilizations evolved. But what are laws if they are not enforced? Noticed how often some things always end up stopped half-way (be it building development, laws... ) because nothing is enforced for the long term?

I don't really give a damn about the politics, as long as the people will at least be protected at all times. Corrupt all the hell you want, but at least do something right!

Malaysia. Safe. Yeah right.
