Harga barang sekarang gila lah. Even Econsave pun not that cheap anymore.
Semalam sayu aku tengok ada satu uncle ni dok ramas-ramas a bag of frozen chicken meatballs, lepas tu dia taruk balik. Aku ingat satu beg 500g tu pun dah RM12 sekarang.
kalau zaman BN dulu, aku hamun Mat Lan. Iya lah, time dia dulu la lepas kenakan GST harga barang melambung dan dia dengan yakinnya kata, "GST turunkan harga barang".
When private railway companies essentially had a free hand in building rail routes in the UK in the 19th and early 20th centuries, competition was such that multiple companies built different physical routes between two places.
This had a deleterious effect in that standardisation of rolling stock and signalling was slow and hard, and often in the end caused disasters. The Armagh disaster of 1888 was the result of non-standard brakes and signalling.
The Thales (formerly by Alcatel) SelTrac control system is used by a number of urban rail transit systems around the world. This is the first time I've heard of an active system having to be shut down extensively because of problems with it
seltrac is supposed to be an advanced train control system. Yet to have failed to this point is nothing short of disaster, and can only mean things are so bad and have been allowed to remain so for a long time, out of probable mismanagement or more likely IMO, shortage of funds?
The Singapore MRT breakdowns of 2014/15 was ultimately the consequence of extreme cost saving (when there was no pressing need) causing maintenance and extra vigilant measures to be cut back.
25 minutes on the phone with DiGi support - they refused to refund my broadband usage fee but at the same time unable to resolve my issue - for some reason my 4G broadband refuses to work after 10-15 minutes and whatever usage I have in that period is drawn from streaming quota
DiGi broadband has this silly practice of separating quota for their broadband - in my case 24GB for streaming and 20GB base quota. Whatever little use I have in that 10-15 mins are deducted from the streaming quota.
I've actually written to MCMC about this much earlier but typical gahmen la - sorry our email receives too many email at the moment, please go to this link instead.
Chronic rolling stock shortage. The PLBE Ipoh - Pdg Besar project only had ten ETS EMUs procurement tied to it - none were planned for Komuter. Existing rolling stock used are ones originally meant for Klang Valley . So as it is the limited resources are being spread far and thin
Unfortunately KTM does not procure rolling stock or all the upgrade projects we've been seeing for that matter. It is all planned (for want of a better word) by MoT holding the purse strings if MoF.
What bungles the planning though is the incessant political meddling.
I bet you we can probably look forward to the same once the PLBEGJB is done and commissioned next year. Again as with PLBEIPB, the only rolling stock project tied to it is yet another ten ETS.
Malaysian gahmen biasa la. Dah terberak baru gali lubang.
