I dreamt I had a son last night, and that I was living in a white house — yes, a son! He was about four years of age, quite plump, beautiful round eyes {I would say we’d have a problem if he had square eyes wouldn’t we?}, and he was asking me the virtues of Ramadhan. My son is a ‘Muslim’ I thought, maybe he’s a Palestinian-Jew or someone of darker skin and not favourable in the court of humanity {since those with chocolate and darker skin tones are usually the object of mockery, slander etceteras}, since he did look after his father whom supposedly is to be my lawfully wedded husband.
O this sounds like there’s too much on my mind from trying to juggle an eighth month old company through the plethora of bullshit served by companies insisting and devising to gobble up each eurocentime you might have because you’re perceived as a multinational company unlike the typical company you keep with your typical non-“One” Malaysian friends in some small town like Rawang or elsewhere nondescript!
In reality, and I meant this in the absolute sense of the Word, where the One Lord, is my Saviour and Witness, I cannot comprehend how a country like Malaysia can insist and allow without much rant {the felicity to encroach on its people the ideology that is commonly known to them, this very blatant idea of the citizens as financial buffer pawns all ready to be executed lined up like pretty painted Russian dolls – make more money out of these people since they’re Malaysians, by implementing services and yet not undertake to ensure privacy & security policies being fully secured – meaning there’s a huge hole in what constitutes legit and not – where companies can literally do anything without having to adhere to a set of ‘laws’ – the likes where the legal, engineering, and medical professions have had to adhere for the past 100 years or so}.
Malaysia Telecommunications – Maxis Communications Berhad.
In 2006 prior my prepaid conversion to a postpaid account with Maxis Communications, I never had this problem — but someone from Maxis learnt that if they were persistent enough in asking like the Chinese {and yes, I’m being racist here – but it is public domain that Malaysian of Chinese heritage are very persistent when it comes to getting what they want! – but please don’t ‘bloody-politically’ misconstrue me either – I’m certain ¾ of the world comes from one Chinese ova !! Like the other quarter being from a Black Eve !} would when they want something, one out of a 100, the answer would most probably be in the affirmative. So they were delighted of course to have ‘converted’ my prepaid account to a postpaid account after the annoying and incessant braying of a donkey’s ass right smack in-front of my face for a month without shame. The very same week, because of their oversight and their incompetency, my account which was hardly a week old was blocked, and charged a hefty RM1600 something to the tunes of ‘if I do not clear that amount’ I would definitely be blacklisted.
The prepaid number that I’ve been using for the past five years before they ‘converted’ it to a postpaid account never had any problems until Malaysia decided to implement a law where all prepaid numbers had to be registered with the Multimedia Commission in the hopes of ensuring a peaceful Malaysia – in other words, they would have had the facility to peek into whom you’ve been calling, tapping your conversation over the air, reading your text sms’ and then put you into ISA if they wanted to, for the fun of showing who’s head honcho of the nation – and you’re just another statistic to be played with like the pretty painted Russian dolls all lined in a metal closet made in the Republic of China !
Mind you, when I wanted to order a Pizza online, my phone number has been ‘registered’ in somebody else’s name {but that’ll be another story of security issues in Malaysia, in another blog !} — so what happened to all that registering your number with the Multimedia Commission, and the National Registration Department ??
When I was in the Middle East recently my private number didn’t have Global Roaming – since my first number had, shouldn’t it be activated when the number was “subscribed” to {Yes, Maxis literally pushed the number to me saying that I’m their loyal client et all, and insisted I’d only pay what I use – yet, when statements arrived, I am charged RM30/monthly [ €5] subscription on the second number}? Wouldn’t that be an obvious practice or should I do the donkey’s work and ask for it ? Neither 3G nor Global Roaming was activated, so when I was in Medina AlMunawara, I sent an sms to the Customer Service in Kuala Lumpur. He activated my global roaming and told me that calls made abroad would be charged at RM7.50 per minute {about €1,7 per minute or thereabouts}, and any incoming calls would be charged RM4.50 per minute. I can understand why the need to partner with a sister-Telco company but charging that much per minute deceives the purpose of making it a Subscriber-Friendly company {What would Celcom and DIGI do?}.
In the 21st century we do have VoIP facilities, and yet it isn’t being implemented instead ? Or if it has been implemented as in the case of Global Roaming, why is it charged so hefty ? I’d use Skype or Gizmo5 anytime, but to do so at the last minute and telling all the 29 in my list to call the other number instead of the current would incur more problems for them – I’ve learnt one thing in this life – When you can make the lives of people around you simpler, and less bothersome, it is best you do — to not incur problems for people, irrespective their standing in this lifetime.
Would you want to be my shit in the next life ?
When I came back after the sejour in the Kingdom, I received a huge bill that was hand-delivered to my doorsteps. Obviously, I was charged something to the tunes of your next three months paycheck for NOT using the services – does global roaming incur a hefty statement ? And since I am on auto-pay, my credit card was charged the hefty amount thus blocking my credit limit and thus escalating the domino effect for my other charges with other companies, from Facebook through P1 to other smaller services that I’ve subscribed to. I brought my laptop to surf the Internet at free WiFi zones – I’m a seasoned traveler, not someone who’s just got a laptop, a 3G phone and who is literally technology illiterate!! Technology has been part of my life, and work, so I’m not ignorant in those areas.
There must be a limit and this should be implemented in all auto-debit pay by card program – Hence Financial institutions must implement this – there must be a limit as to how much a company can auto-debit your account. In the case of a big conglomerate like Maxis Communications Berhad, a charge that much which was charged to my credit card has now literally blocked my future work – hey I have mouths to feed, pay overhead etceteras, and when some company does that, my work is literally being ‘stopped’ and that would account for me not abling to do anything until I settle their blunder ? What is this fucking attitude Maxis has with charging any amount to their clients ?
This is an outrage, and I refuse to become its victim, hence this quite long write-up!
O they should know how difficult it is to get a client – and if they persist in pushing their luck trying to charge me for something I did not use, I’ll literally disown and drop them as my provider, and sign-up with an International non-Malaysian Telco instead! This really is a “Kes Aduan Yang keBeratusan” {literally transliterated to ‘The Hundredth Complaint’ case for the country} which I have blogged, and although I do know it is Ramadhan, I don’t bloody fucking care !! This has to be straightened out and I’m literally disgusted with how things are being managed in this bloody fucking country with thick-skinned bloody insipid self-proclaimed ‘leaders’ who’d rather content with making your lives miserable.
I’ve had it with Malaysia, and its companies. I forewarn foreigners who’d want to settle down in Malaysia, to be extremely wary about practices in the country. Unless they’d have a death-penchant to grow old very very fast and sprout grey hair overnight, do come and settle here. Otherwise, there are countries elsewhere similar to My “Malaysia” 2nd-Home program. My, I’m just about registering my existing company offshore, so as to not to deal with the insipidiousities of these so-called small-minded complexed creatures in the future!! {yes, I’m being condescending, but it is my prerogative!!}
The forbidden truth is that contemporary Society is living by a set of lies which are necessary for short-term profit, at the expense of human physical and psychological life and global integrity. We are living in a system where power ensures that the requirements of profit take priority over the requirements of living things-including the need to know that this is the case. Consequently our freedom extends as far as, and no further than, the satisfaction of these requirements, with all else being declared neurosis, paranoia, communism, extremism, the work of the devil, or Neptunium nonsense.
The World changes, and the one spot where it never does is a nation the size of a ‘microbe’-head from the Heavens, called Malaysia. At this very heart of bureaucracies lie deception, sex and lies. Isn’t there any integrity left in a nation vying for a ‘ber’-Satu Malaysia ? Who’s setting the gauge or benchmark that says all those who aren’t like them can bloody leave the clogged drain of a mindset! {I’d gladly leave, but that’s another story for another blog!}
It is Friday, September Eleventh, 2009 – hasn’t Malaysia changed for the better since its so-wanted Independence ? What about the bloody “otak-kuli” mindset and attitude that is still being blatantly instilled from television programs through local content implemented in educational establishments ? Where during Ramadhan does it teach people to waste on food ? This is certainly not the teachings of Muhammad, RasulAllaah the prophet of Islaam. This is a culture based ‘religion’ perceived only in areas where real Islaam has been banned as being blasphemous, and contemporary-secular Islaam implemented.
Be forewarned though, death does come suddenly — it is the only thing certain in this reality!!
