There are so many times I would LOVE to shove a cylindrical object up a place where the sun don't shine and that place belongs to the staff of the aforementioned company.
1. KTMB - Especially loves hoarding us like pigs on the platforms especially during peak hours and expects all to be able to fit the incoming coach. Even WITH the 6-coach mykomuter, that is an effort in vain if they don't come on TIME. I mean seriously. The screen you see with the ETA of the incoming train is UNRELIABLE, what more during peak hours.
2. RapidKL - You guys don't have enough staff to man a counter to reload TnG is it? Not even one staff to change money in the event that a paying customer does not have small change? Luckily I had enough to buy a God forsaken token (why I labelled it as such is something you will see in a bit). The token upon the exit station was rejected. Like seriously!? And this was in the midst of the exodus during a peak hour. 'FML', I thought. Hoping to get help I passed the token to him and he would not let me go out until he verified it (which should take less than a minute) but he goes and do other stuff, LIKE RELOADING TnG cards of others! Part of me just wanted to bolt off there and then. I mean REALLY?! Do I LOOK like a trespasser!? The journey was only worth RM 1.00 and you be so worried if the token was illegal AND /OR somehow cared if the company made a loss (Highly unlikely). BIG WHOOP. And I missed my subsequent KTM train BECAUSE of the 10-minute hold up. (WHICH ARRIVED AN HOUR LATER)
In a nutshell, I had to purchase a faulty token (and by the way, if you're gonna introduce a token system, make sure IT WORKS with minimal marginal errors, mush-for-brains), BECAUSE only an invisible silhouette is manning the reload counter, I was held up due to a faulty token (it wasn't just me, many experienced similar problems) and missed my train which I had to wait for another hour to catch.
A slippery slope of unfortunate events, causing me to be late for work. (It would suck if the manager/ boss is a bit of a male chicken when he/she fails to understand that delays in public transport like KTMB is INEVITABLE, you people who have to ONLY take LRT/monorails can SAVE IT cause you will almost always NEVER need to expect delays up to an hour) which leads to...
3. Dispelling the myth that a many government servants are lazy. Ain't no myth, this is real man. Fixed pay does this to people. Complacency develops rather like a plague, like a pathogen spreading from servant to the next, merely because they would expect salary EVEN IF they did not do more than necessary, get all sorts of privileges and rebates, as well as a very handsome pension.
Take it one step further, if such a profession in the Government sector seem to be lucrative, why is everyone not applying for it? Some people actually WORK for their money ya know. Theoretically, if more people enter the government sector, taxes would need to be raised and subsidies slashed to pay for government servants. Why in the name of Buddha should I pay MORE taxes to feed many lazy people?
(Diverting somewhat but still related)
4. Recent Evidence Act enactment is a real insult to the (non-existent) civil liberties which Malaysians hold so dearly. It's an obvious gross violation of privacy (but the Human Rights Act 1998 is no more than just a white elephant.)
I mean, MACHA!? REALLY!? If I post something nasty using my friends wifi or social network account (FB, twitter), he/she will be responsible? People's natural response would be to secure the networks and fortify their passwords. Pfft. That's hardly of any use. An amateur hacker can easily hack into the networks and social network sites at a whim. So now everyone's gonna segregate that programmer/computer buff that they used to know.
This begs the question further, what about using wifi in Government facilities to post nasty things? Doesn't this BITE BACK? You like it don't you? O yeah, the courts have barely no power to go against the Parliaments' Acts, as a matter of fact, courts in Malaysia are subservient to the Parliament AND Government, when an Act was passed as such.
It seems to be but a glimmer of hope shining for worthy people to sit in the Government. Perhaps we might have a Black Prime Minister in the future to advocate change?
