            <title>DBKL New Renovation 2017 Guideline</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4223676</link>
            <description>Dear all&lt;br /&gt;DBKL published a new renovation guideline for standard size terrace houses in January 2017, where the setbacks are reduced, i.e., your renovation can be bigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does DBKL still have the standard renovation application form that you can purchase and submit without needing an architect or engineer to draw up the plans and submit?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or can someone here help advise what is the current procedure for submitting renovation plans to DBKL? or direct me to a website that explains this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.</description>

            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2719361</link>
            <description>I have been trying to do some transactions using maybank2u.com.my. I have requested many times for TAC but none were received. I turned off and on the phone a few times to make sure nothing is wrong with my phone. Still no TAC received. Anyone here experience this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The website has a message stating maybank2u.com.my has intermittent disruptions but nothing about TAC and I am not sure how old is that message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pls share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.</description>

            <title>Adjustable Louver Shutters For Windows (External)</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2307284</link>
            <description>My fellow forumers&lt;br /&gt;I am looking for adjustable louver shutters for windows to be installed externally. Similar to the pics below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.decorativeshutters.com/images_stonefield/photo_6.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.decorativeshutters.com/images_stonefield/closeup_louver_tilt.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non wood is preferred, UPVC (Faux-Wood or artificial wood) or Aluminium will be best. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone know if there are manufacturers / suppliers of such window shutters in Malaysia? Do share, this is highly appreciated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanking all in advance.</description>

            <description>Sifus and Tok Gurus&lt;br /&gt;I have a Streamyx Broadband with the Riger DB120 modem. Wired connection is fine and I can get into the net. However when I add on the Aztech W830RT4 wireless router, it does not work. The router signal can be detacted however it cannot get onto the net.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen another thread on the forum on this topic but I am still very confused. Can some kind so provide me with an Idoit&amp;#39;s Step by Step Guide in fixing this problem. &lt;!--emo&amp;:help:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/icon_question.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='icon_question.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hokin</description>

            <title>Advise on broadband wireless router</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/586491</link>
            <description>Dear Sifus and Tok Gurus&lt;br /&gt;I am intending to get an entry level broadband wireless router to use at home for my streamyx. I am a total novice in this area. Basically I need to have wireless broadband connection around the house for my desk top, laptop and pda. I want to have be able to have a password to avoid others tapping into my line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw an ad in Star Intech for Levelone routers, various from RM128 to RM198. I presume these prices are comparable with Belkin and D-Links ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pls can someone recommend something reliable and best value for money that is suitable for my needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hokin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
