Living in JB

Too bad its only for Selangor, I wish that Singapore also got this system.

Now you can rate Selangor cops

KUALA LUMPUR: The public can now rate the services of police officers manning the counters in 82 stations in Selangor from Monday.

The real-time monitoring system will see officers being graded on a scale of one to four on aspects such as efficiency and quality of service.

“The public will be able to do the rating on an electronic recording system at the station or SMS their assessment via handphone,” Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said after a Government Economic Transformation Programme briefing yesterday.

He said the pilot project would help the police gauge the service provided by their frontline officers.

“This will allow weaker officers to be identified for retraining,” he said.

He said the pilot project would be carried out between two and three months and might be expanded to other frontline agencies and departments.

Idris assured that the identity of those providing feedback would be protected.

A report on an officer's grade will be submitted to Bukit Aman for evaluation at the end of each month, he said.

Idris, who is also Pemandu's chief executive officer, said it was commendable that the police volunteered to test the system in line with moves to improve their delivery system.

It is learnt that the public will be able to rate police officers either by texting to 15888 or use the survey machines at the police station.

Although the SMS method starts on Monday, the survey machines will only be available in August.

I heard from the radio this morning. Malaysia launching some kind of online appraisal for public service. Starting from the police department. Only Malaysian can appraise them and need to have the officer's number. I think they wear it on their uniform?

I do hope they can extend this service to us Singaporean as I'm afraid that their 'attention' might be rechannel to us instead. Neverthelessly, it is still a step forward in curbing corruptions and in helping to improve their standard of performance.

Wow! Bro AP, long time no post here already. Welcome. Good to see you back.

Yea.. Bro AP u finally back from holidays...

Bro RT... i cant help but to think that neighbour and his family is very inconsiderate! I guess u need to fix up ur back up plan soon. It's very difficult for you to go on be unhappy and u cant run away from home just to avoid this. I guess u may wan to inform the landlord on this and not go thr the agent. Hope all things turn out well....

Abt KSL the parking so far so good not too sure abt the max parking rate... been there to watch movie and seems like didnt pay more than RM3. The Tesco is small but new looks like a normal NTUC in the neighbour.. which has finally open!

There are quite a few resturants there... got one looks somesort like japanese food theme... works like marche style... ve not tried... mostly dine at the small eatery like the taiwan foodies, ice cream.. (sound like kiddy food) but the colours make it so attractive... i cant resist...

About the outing, i tot of having it at station one but since Bro AP pointed that it's getting lousy.. i better source another good hide out... hmm... i need some help on the private outing... think the email(inbox) very tiny... IT expert and advisers.. can teach me a good solution... eager to make the outing happen....

Cheers...

Yews is good bro. Wuqi recommends it too.

Its more expensive than Monsta though and the menu is more varied. So more selections..

I did not get the last bit.... "of ur radar" meaning?? u have pets and u r responsible or you dun have pets?

Tried the minature first then had a the normal size ones, after when saw the bill had a headache
Will give Yew a try and by the way if you are going to sink your teeth into pet owners...... of the irresponsible kind .... means I'm off your radar

 

[Analytical Professor]

The miniature bottles cute eh?

Thanks for clarifying bro.

I paid upto Rm4 so far. Did not hit Rm 5 yet... So was not aware. Where did you read it?

Yes, but RM5 max I think?

 

[Analytical Professor]

That is what everyone tells me to bear with them as they are a part of the eco system and help control the insect menace.

But the size of big fat full grown lizzards makes me squirm and puke.

So i had to find a way to get rid of them.

So here i am now... experimenting with this new spray.... Hope it works....

I really want it to work...

I actually do not mind lizards - they help to eat spiders and other insects ;-)

I have somehow solved the roaches issue. Every time when we leave the house after the weekend stay, we spray Bygone (insecticides) into the water drainage pipes in the toilets .. ;-) Works well so far ...

 

[Analytical Professor]

Regarding roaches.... several methods are required....

Roaches are one of those few living creatures that have lived according to the Survival of the fittest theory.... and yes evolution too ( i hate bio tho..)

1) Keep ur home clean as in ultra clean... No crumbs here.... no food droppings there.... Use a disinfectant and clean the floor and ceramic tiles everywhere. Be a stickler for cleanliness. Tell ur maid no second thoughts on cleanliness. This helps largely.

2) So far i have not sprayed Baygone. My home is free except for the occassional roach. But bro austin heights u r right.... Spray all the drains and openings with the insecticide.... Sink/water drainage area in ur toilet and the drain in ur car porch..... If u have a corner lot spray the drains around ur corner lot as well.... Actually u can just pour in any disinfectant. Should work.... I think Baygone would be far too expensive. So prepare ur floor cleaner disinfectant albeit stronger concentration and pour in. Works very well.

3) u can use moth balls for added help....

I bought them at Giant at Bukit INdah. They did not have many bottles left though. Rm 16 for one. I bought two...

Bro, where to buy..
my wife paranoid abt lizards..

 

[cathylmg]

I love washing my floor with dynamo. Gives you that squeaky clean feeling. So far so good still havent seen more then 1 roach which I left it outside the house. And yes, moth balls definately helps. But then, how will the smell harm the body?

Yeah the freakin jams are annoying and they are everywhere now... both entry and exit at Bukit indah got road blocks. Danga bay side too...

i dun think these are security road blocks although they make it seem like they are....

i see them stop lotsa motorcyclists.....

and if they are really security roadblocks u need the assault rifles and senior officers on stand by which i dun see at all....

so yes its a money making venture the way i look at it....

Good life like that....

its a matter of time before they start hitting on spore plated cars...

Yesterday, I knew there were going to be jams at Perling Toll and Jusco Bukit Indah toll as there are road blocks going on.. Took a small windy road back to Tuas around Nusa Idaman there.

Guess what? Once I reach the main road, saw a patrol car just done with a blangla by the roadside ( think screening him ), once the patrol car saw my car, they kept accelerating and tailing me closely from stationary. After the roundabout, they drove up to me and honked at me, asking me to stop by the roadside.

I drive a normal car, looks and dress ordinary.. Wonder what they want? End up look-see my entire interior and check my driving liscence etc etc and kept telling me "tak boleh this" tak boleh that"

Damn pissed.. I act blur and stupid in front of them cos they were trying to waste my time for more than 10 minutes. End up they cant get my bribes and asked me to go.

There are 1-2 cars around at any point in time. Great place for the police to find their own commission

 

[east539]

Hi east539,

I have book a unit too at The Hills and I actually do not mind the wait..... more time to save more, can take less loan or purchase other properties.... ;-)

Btw, the last time I was there, six rows of terraces and two rows of clusters have been launched. What is the latest? Thanks.

there were 15 units left when i was there to book my unit, if i am not wrong should less than 10 unit of Terrace units left, cluster I didn't ask, but it seems it is also sold out.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Thanks Cathy. I visited the hardware shop at Setia tropika next to pusat dobi.... and opposite the pub i think.

Service good la. they attended to me instantly. a tad expensive but can do a lot of things for u. no need to run here run there save time la... can relax more...

Wow! Bro AP, long time no post here already. Welcome. Good to see you back.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Thanks... I look forward to info like this.

Can relax more..

What is life all about ? Work and work and work and then plonk and die... i have seen that happening to so many people.

<Might as well enjoy and die... Atleast no regrets....

One more place to bring my wife to

Has anyone been to the Sky Lounge @ Grand Paragon Hotel, opposite Plaza Pelangi? ~~ breathtaking view ? plan to visit soon ...

[Analytical Professor]

Cathy you damn good ah....

All info updated .......

im looking forward to the play area

like someone commented before im getting fatter and fatter.... looking like the fat lizzard...

Bro AP, the McDonalds at ST is going to be open this coming Friday 8 July. Don't know whether got any free gift or not. I took a peep inside on Sunday. Got playground. Now the kids are very excited. Going on Friday evening you know?

 

[geritan]

And for how many percent will i be taxed for rental income for my hdb?

I'm not sure cos this is the only source of income for my mum. I think they will take it as your other income. For the form I mentioned, I think they use that for property tax assessment. That mean you don't entitle property tax rebate from goverment anymore.

 

[austin_hts]

I paid RM5 once. Will check out next time. I think there is a max ...

Thanks for clarifying bro.

I paid upto Rm4 so far. Did not hit Rm 5 yet... So was not aware. Where did you read it?

Look like SG is overtaking JB in crimes recently leh ?

Decomposed body found near NUS

A DECOMPOSED body has been found in a forested area off Clementi Road - the second such incident within a week.

Police said that they were alerted around 6pm yesterday, and are investigating.

About 20 police officers combed the area, which is just opposite the National University of Singapore, before emerging with the remains in a white bag close to midnight.

This comes after two land survey staff discovered a set of skeletal remains in the forest next to the Tanah Merah MRT Station last Saturday.




Let's count the number of unnatural death reported in last few months.

1. 06 July: This one from Clementi
2. 03 July: Skeleton of female in forest area Tanah Merah
3. 03 July: Body of man floating in Harbour Front
4. 02 July: Body of woman in S'pore River, Helix Bridge.
5. 22 June: Body in SengKang, Punggol River
6. 20 June: Half body in Bedok Reservoir.
7. 16 May: The Woodland water Tank case
8. 16 April: Body in luggage in Sentosa

So it actually safer to stay here in JB ,

 

[Analytical Professor]

1) All fragrances are harmful someway or the other excluding the natural ones.
2) All airfreshners whichever brand are basically chemicals which u spray into the air. The ones used in cars/toilets/homes are all bad.... Since they are gas particles there is a great chance they get into ur respiratory system
3) What about paints/detergents/bleaches and other cleaning agents? All vapourise to varying levels and therefore can theoretically be inhaled. notice the strong seal for bleaches sold in supermarkets.
4) What about disinfectants? If they are harmful to tiny organisms wont they be harmful to us? Dettol to floor cleaners all are harmful. The moment u smell it .... it means the particles have vapourised already.... which means it gets into ur respiratory system
5) What about mosquito repellant oils/mats/coils.... same story again... they vapourise as well
6)Moth balls sublime from solid to gas state directly.... so yes should be the same as any of the above....

now dun get into direct contact with the moth balls... dun allow ur clothes to touch them.... and dun stay too close to them....

That should be safe enough...

I think the aerosol(s) are the most harmful cause u come into direct contact with the spray since you are the one spraying it..... So best avoided.....since no escape...

try the indirect contact methods first....

So Cathy you are right. We gotta Keep yur house absolutely clean.... Any floor cleaner will do..... Give the floor a thorough and regular scrubbing. Sometimes even twice a day maybe required..... when you stay in.....

And you wont see the roaches......

Ofcourse pour the disinfectant into the drains as well

this method cheaper and works well and less harmful...

hope my thesis is right.

I love washing my floor with dynamo. Gives you that squeaky clean feeling. So far so good still havent seen more then 1 roach which I left it outside the house. And yes, moth balls definately helps. But then, how will the smell harm the body?

 

[Analytical Professor]

Hi Skippy thanks.... yes had a long and nice sabbatical... now time to work a little bit atleast.

U r right. The TESCO is like a normal neighbourhood NTUC.

Parking i paid max Rm 3.5 so far.

Really at Station one bukit indah.... i had the soup (mushroom). It looked so watered down and tasteless.....

I think just open an email account for this purpose like [email protected] or something and get bros to write there. the inbox on this server is insufficient....

Agreed lots of different restaurants at KSL. So far look ok. HAve not tried all.

Tried Seoul Garden.. Not bad. again service ok only...

Yea.. Bro AP u finally back from holidays...
