Alza headlights turns on when engine is off

tender — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 23:18:21 +0800

Hi,

My alza small headlights turn on when engine is turned off. When car is started, engine on, the light switch is working as normal. But when engine is off, even though i turn off the light switched the headlights went on automatically. Anyone know the reason?

Is this false advertisement? 1maxhost Please help!

Hi. I am going to subscribe to Ipserverone email hosting. its around RM650 per year for 15 User. However, i needed more spaces for a few mail box and less space for some, like most user need 2 GB and a fer needed 10 GB but ipserverone is not flexible about it, they enforce strictly 5BG per user policy.

So I google a bit a and found 1maxhosting email hosting offering

30GB per Mailbox, Monthly Transfer of 1000GB, Email Account of 100 for RM199 per YEAR??? This sounds too good to be true. I am hoping there are other user who use this 1maxhosting service before and can give some feedback. Though gut instinct tells me to stay away from it as it look like a scam. Please help

7am today (24 June 2013)

It was

on Saturday, 22 June 2013

Then became

on Sunday, 23 June 2013

Throughout 2013, Air quality was fine:

until:

While the big companies deny it, data(by overlapping map) from Nasa's Active Fire Data together with Indonesian Ministry of Forestry’s concession maps as mentioned in this article from WRI Insights show this:

And it come as no surprise that Riau Governor Rusli Zainal is being questioned for corruption involving plantation land graft

It is pretty hard for BIG COMPANIES to deny charges of slash and burn even though they 'oledi paid' the Indonesian Government as the Satellite Pictures layered on Land Ownership map told a different but truer story: Palm oil companies must come clean on Indonesian fire hotspots - Greenpeace Press release - June 22, 2013

Big companies OR Lame Indonesia Governance to be blame?

Please enjoy some of my memories of being brought up in the 1970's and 80's.
I'm sure I've missed out loads so please add your own.

what happened to "consumer.com.my"?

tender — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:02:08 +0800

Ok there used to be a site in malaysia for cunsumer to make complains and such. it is consumer.com.my. this site is frequented by consumer to share info on scams and being victims of a purchase and discuss actions they can take. also notable is their compliments section where they can praise a good business.

lately i visited this site to update on things i need to be aware of in malaysia scene, like good businesses practice, scams and businesses to be avoided and such. it is also a good place for that said business to respond in defence of themselves. but the link is now dead,

so the site consumer.com.my stop as a page about 3 months ago, without any further info about why and what happened to it. i am just curious has it
1) displease some big shot company and got sued out of existence?
2) displease the gov with some legal issue and went hiding?
3) or its a simple as the owner lost focus and stop the site on free will?
can someone please tell me?
a search for the keyword [consumer+malaysia] came up with a couple of gov sites like
http://www.skmm.gov.my/consumer/
http://www.eraconsumer.org/
http://www.rakanpengguna.com.my/
http://www.cfm.org.my/
not meaning to diss these sites, they are propably very good sites in their own terms, tho a quick browse thru their site content fail to show it, maybe in real life they are very good and are helping consumers in malaysian. but it seemed like they are spending a lot of tax payer's money on very important 'consumer dept' and 'meetings' and 'conferences' and 'committees' and yet another 'commission' and allow very little REAL consumer input. i would like to know if there are any forums and sites where malaysians can voice their real complaints (and compliments) before taking a last effort like taking the case to the consumer tribunal. of course newspaper help sometimes, but not every victim can get posted on them. lowyat.net is a good place to talk but its about many topics and not focus on cunsumer and consumer only. don't we need a centralized online community for consumers to hang out and exchange valuable info?
