KDK fan. Blades are discoloured

asparagsu — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 20:29:58 +0800

Just unboxed my kdk fan model K15UW-QEY but the blades are badly discoloured, 4/5 blade are. Can claim warranty or not?

Chat my shopee seller, 2 hours no reply (maybe because outside office hour, will wait till tomorrow) seller is online tho

Edit: seller replied and say to deal with kdk, say probably can claim warranty

Chat another KDK fan seller (other model i buy from this guy), he said warranty usually for motor only.

Sad, pay RM800 to get ugly blade fan out of the box..

Edit: i forgot to mention, i bought this a month ago, but my house renovation got delayed and delayed (plaster ceiling guy sucks) , only today open box, no more shopee return option, haihh, why i didnt check it earlier..

/k is triggering racism in me

asparagsu — Sun, 20 Oct 2019 11:13:51 +0800

Joined forum lowyat forum on 2009 under asparagus name.

2010: email gone. created another account under asparagsu.

Most of the time i am just passive reader here, read any latest news or issue, replied to what i can. Tried to stay positive/more understanding of any racial issue thread created here.

2017-2018: too much racism in here, i quit myself from /k to not letting myself become racist in any way. i dont have the exact timeline when i quit. but i even removed the google chrome shortcut.

2019: i got more free time in front of computer, tempted to come back here. and i did. usually i just read general issue thread, but now even that thread were bombed with racial replies. i became slightly racist myself, even to a point where i replied a racist post with another racist post.

Previously i dont care which shop i buy from. now seeing all this racism issue, plus with /k becoming more racist than ever, i turned racist myself, but not the the extreme la. just like on consumer side.. do mind that i have a lot of other race friends, my workplace is 90% other race, maybe they are not as toxic as /k.

like last night i went to mall saw mobile shop, remembered to change my tempered glass, i entered one shop, asked about my phone tempered glass, standard price no issue, then suddenly i noticed the guy is not the same skin colour as mine (i shit you not, this has never happened to me before, i really dont care about this kind of thing before). then i say thanks and go out, my wife asked me why, i said, lets find other shop first. I didnt tell her the real reason, i'd like her to have her own opinion.

TLDR: been ktard for 10 years, not racist, quit /k, rejoined /k, become racist, support BMF. realized we need to do something about this forum.
