Hiking month
November can now be remembered as the month for hiking. Hiking is good for health if you are healthy otherwise forget about it.
When a state is well managed and has a lot of foreign
investment everyone who puts in their best effort should be rewarded. I do not understand the big fuss over the pay
hike in Selangor. So what if it is 400%
or 1000%. Has anyone bother to look into
the woes of the people who are helping to run the State. You think these people are doing charity
work. Every single one of them works 24/7. Even while fucking their spouse they get a
call for this and that. Have you been to
their centre? Do you know that every
single day someone will ask for bus fare to go home because they have excuses
like losing their wallet, got rob or misplaced their purse. The people pleading
for money for spectacles, milk powder, pampers, rental, utilities, books, shoes
and many more you can think of.
Samy Vellu used to complain he gets income of RM8,000 but he
digs from his own pocket RM18,000 each month to give to the people.
Another hike bashing is the new assessment rate in Kuala
Lumpur. I was born here and will be
living here till the day I die. Many
developments have taken place since Merdeka.
We have LRT, MRT, high rise buildings, international schools, better
homes, more roads, more cars, more street lights, more shopping malls, more
people, more rubbish, more clogs and many more. As the state grows each year the need for
maintenance grows bigger and bigger. So
is it reasonable for the assessment to remain?
20 years ago my girlfriend paid RM60 for her room, today her
rent is RM280 for the same room. Her
room has never been renovated, repaired or painted yet the rent has shot up because the landlord saw fit to increase. Now this landlord is making noise about the hike in assessment. There are many like this landlord.
Today Kuala Lumpur is like a mini landfill. Everywhere you go there are rubbish on the ground, on the trees, on the fences, in the drain etc.
The biggest culprits for our mini landfills are the Pasar
Malam traders and food operators on the road side. After doing their business instead of
cleaning up they simply pack up and leave. Oil and gravy are also thrown onto
the ground without care. The smell and stink remain for at least two days if
there is no rain. Then there are some
brainless traders who will throw their unwanted goods, empty boxes and basket
into the drains. So when it rains the
whole damn drain is clogged up.
Do you know that every Wednesday my neighbours and I pray
that no-one falls sick or need medical help between 4.30pm to 10pm because the
road leading to our homes and our own gates are blocked by Pasar Malam traders’
vehicles.
Every household is given a bin by DBKL to throw their
rubbish inside but my front neighbour thinks otherwise. Everyday she either hangs her rubbish onto
the fence or throws them on the roadside. This is the kind of mentality city
folks has and she is not alone.
In Bandar Tun Razak the folks staying in apartments simply
throw their rubbish out from whichever floor they are staying in. So if you are
lucky you get to enjoy the rubbish from the sky.
So folks if you and I do not bother to lift our precious
fingers to help clean our State but want others to do the job then pay for it.
20 years ago there were only 600 workers.
Today we need more than 6,000 workers to clean Kuala Lumpur. To me 200%
hike is reasonable for our tidak apa attitude.
Why is everyone keeping mum on the ever rising of
electricity charges? Is it because it is
UMNO Sdn Bhd? If you do a forensic investigation into the charges that TNB has
been charging us for the past ten years one cannot fail to see that we have
been paying penalties for estimated and imaginary charges. Then we have meters
that automatically run faster at certain times. Why do we favour a cheating
company?
Selangor and Kuala Lumpur deserve the hike but TNB with
profit RM6.4 billion for 2013 and its CEO getting million as Bonus just
does not make cow sense.
