fixing screw on fire-rated door

kennethlkb87 — Sat, 06 Nov 2021 22:26:17 +0800

Hi sifus, any DIY'er know any ways to fix loose screw holes on Fire-rated door? My door has an auto closer but the screw became too loose (screw thread no longer attached to the door)

I tried to find those (plaster?) wall plug to maybe screw on? but it doesnt fit (not without drilling through the door).

I'm looking at glue/silicone (home repair) to fill the hole/let cure and try re-screwing in but I haven't try yet cause not sure if it can hold (the fire door is quite heavy)

TLDR: need to screw auto closer to fire door but screw hole too loose, looking for ways to repair.

Thanks in advance

Spray Paint on metal door frame

kennethlkb87 — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 11:30:22 +0800

Hi guys, I have these metal door frames that I want to paint it black. Is it ok to use spray paint (canisters) instead of normal steel paint (using brush)?

I wanted to paint it matte black, hence thinking of using spray can (as I don't have those compressor machine)

The existing paint is new (with minor scratches here & there), and do I need to sand it before painting?

the frame is similar like this (original beige color, intend to paint matte black)

Need sifus advices

kennethlkb87 — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 22:25:50 +0800

Recently I went to reactivate my savings acc (acc deactivated because not using, inside also no money ) reason being I wanted to manage/track Credit card I just got from the bank using their online/app platform.
To activate the acc, need to deposit RM10 at counter (need to update the acc book).

When I check the book I noticed there were some entries I don't remember making, each deposits/withdrawals were around 10k-20k (in odd amount), and in SAME DAY.

The transactions happened few year ago according to the date.

What should I do ah? inform the bank? things is I don't think I made these transactions but I'm not sure

So now can or cannot go out?

kennethlkb87 — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:22:21 +0800

Actually what's the latest directive/rules to follow. Everyday hear new rules, then next day different set liao

Can we go out and tapao food? I'm talking about 3 meals a day = 3 time go out tapao.
Cause my home don't have the utilities to cook (even maggi mee also, don't have stove).

I have Grabfood account but to grab everyday macam not sound (financially).
Also the hygiene part, since riders need to deliver to many ppl (especially now) chances of them contracting the virus is quite high.

“Let go” employees issue

kennethlkb87 — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 15:39:10 +0800

Hi all I need help and advice here.

1. So my workplace is “letting ppl go”, notice/letter given did not state “termination/firing/resignation/retrenchment”, only says the company having financial difficulty then straight to how many days notice, prorate leaves etc. Is this even legal?

2. The company did not give us choice to serve the notice in full (coming to office like usual until last notice day) HR automatically applied our remaining leaves on the notice period. E.g. 30 days notice, uses my remaining 10 days of paid leaves so instead after 20 days of notice I’m considered on leave until last day.

3. HR say we are not entitled to ask for the leaves to be paid in cash, that we have to utilised all leaves or otherwise all leaves are considered null/voided. Is this legal?

thanks all in advance

[WTA] Hit & Run case

kennethlkb87 — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 17:15:22 +0800

Hi all, need advices here.

My gf car (parked at housing area's lorong) got hit & run.

So we made police report with witness (gave wrong number plate la, he blur). Later Sarjan called said it's wrong plate number so cannot do anything on that side.

Just now, the witness informed us that he saw the driver (who hit & run) nearby the area.

What can & should I do in this situation?

Thanks in advance to all sifus here.

- Extra info -

1) The guy did not make any police report / or might have made a false report (to claim insurance)?

2) During accident the driver is with his friends (around 3-4 ppl) came down from the car to inspect damage. (hence the witness recognised him/them)

p.s. not sure if I'm in the correct section, if not admin can help move to correct section? Thanks admin.
