How to make an official complaint against telcos

GrumpyET — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:20:56 +0800

My friend told me of this official government website.

If you have an official complaint against your telco, internet provider etc
- maybe overbilling
-maybe slow internet speed
etc

Then go to www.cfm.org.my

Register and make an official complaint.

It is part of the MCMC (Malaysian Communication & Multimedia commission).

We do not have to accept CRAPPY service!

I am sure many of us are SICK and TIRED of getting irritating SPAM SMS and calls from people wanting us to buy or sell things.

Digi + Blackberry = Ripoff

Digi blackberry deal is a rip off!!!!!

"Customers can buy the Bold 9000 for RM1,399 or the Curve 8900 for RM999 when they sign-up for the Biz plan 150/120 (voice package) for two years, in addition to the BlackBerry service. Under the BlackBerry data plan, customers pay RM63 per month for unlimited e-mail and Internet access."

You can buy an unlocked Blackberry 9000 for SG 850 or Blackberry 8900 for $770, no contract. Stick in a sim card with blackberry service and it works.

Much cheaper than getting from Digi.

Digi is ripping the consumers off with its high price and below average coverage and useless over billing charges. Anyone check their GPRS bills lately???

What's this I hear? Digi with blackberry? Mahal!

I hear Digi is jumping onto the blackberry bandwagon

BlackBerry Launch Promo (June 1 - Aug 31)

BlackBerry BOLD 9000
RM 1399 + Biz 150/250 and BlackBerry Plan (unlimited emails and internet access) for RM 63
24 mth contract

BlackBerry CURVE 8900
RM 999 + Biz 150/250 and BlackBerry Plan (unlimited emails and internet access) for RM 63
24 mth contract

Maxis coverage sucks god knows why they got the iPhone....

But Celcom is $98 and better coverage

Plus you can buy the Bold for about $1600 no plan in Singapore, and even cheaper in Hong Kong.

I don't think it will be a success especially since Digi has so many billing mistakes

MAS (Malaysia Airline System)

GrumpyET — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:41:09 +0800

The price of oil has dropped but why MAS still keep the oil surcharge so high???

I check to fly KL to China and it cost $2000 with MAS and only $900 with Air Asia

Air Asia LLCT airport is lousy but for the cheaper fare I am willing to suffer and fly Air Asia instead!

Proton MPV @ MARCH 2009 FOR $90K?

GrumpyET — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:46:47 +0800

HAHAHA

Good luck selling a Proton 1.8 litre MPV at that price.

Well done Proton CEO - you have really understood what the customers want.

STP Fuel System Cleaner - it works!

GrumpyET — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:59:41 +0800

FYI

I have been using STP for years and it really does work

Before a long road trip (for example Chinese New Year balik kampung) you pour the whole thing into your petrol tank

And it cleans out all the crap in the car and makes it run smoother, less jerky and you save petrol.

Just wanted to share my experience, and it is about RM 34 you can get at many car accessory shops.

Using once a year is enough.

Has Proton's Syed Zaina; destrpyed Proton?

GrumpyET — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:37:49 +0800

When the previous Proton MD Mahaleel left Proton, Proton was in good shape - strong sales and a massive cash at bank.

Two years later Syed Zainal has seen Proton lose market share, losing its billions of cash, failed export models and customer losing even more faith in the Proton brand than ever before.

If Proton was controlled by the ordinary shareholders and not by the politicians, then Syed Zainal would have been sacked a long time ago.

Have you tried thw GPS navigator with Persona?

GrumpyET — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:34:09 +0800

My friend got the GPS mynavi and it is terrible.

Can he swap it and get his money back?

The thing cannot even give the right directions.

So useless.
