Should Malaysian schools just get rid of

Ya Rerd — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 23:05:52 +0800

Schools across the country has made uniforms optional due to the hot weather and this has prolonged for many months now with no end in sight. maybe we should just get rid of the uniforms altogether.

Make wearing our PE outfits or respective school sports attire as an option instead. That way, instead of buying uniforms, we buy school sports attire and the money goes back to the schools. no need donations or sponsorsips from butthurt sources like malt companies

Ultrasonic cleaner

Ya Rerd — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 09:12:38 +0800

Any recommendation for an affordable ultrasonic cleaner, the ones used to clean glasses or jewellery?

Saw the one from Xiaomi but was thinking something bigger but not too expensive, budget not more than RM200 if possible.

Any help would be good, thanks!

Any nasi lemak comparable to Village Park

Ya Rerd — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 09:35:13 +0800

I know it's debatable whether the nasi lemak in Village Park is THE best but by any standards it's quite good but my question is if there's any similar KL styled and standard nasi lemak in Penang?

Stopping Home Loan

Ya Rerd — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 00:39:13 +0800

Hi guys, need advice on what options do I have if I wanted to stop my home loan but I could not get a buyer for the house.
Can I discuss with the bank on how to get the property auctioned off and I convert the difference (if auction price can't cover the remaining loan amount) into a personal loan to clear the amount off?

My current property is still tenanted but the rental amount is not enough to service the loan.
So I was thinking to just get rid of the property instead of keeping it and continue with the hassle.

I do realise that it was a big mistake to begin with for getting the property so do not need further "lectures" on that topic!

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Not Moving

Ya Rerd — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 14:12:17 +0800

Hi all

My Xiaomi Robot Vacuum suddenly decided to stop moving. The wheels are not stuck and the brushes and suction is functioning but it's just static.

Even when I pressed the physical Home button on the robot it does not move back to the charging dock (2 feet away) even though it did announce "Returning to the charging dock now". There was no error messages. The robot just stopped for no reason.

Anyone faced this problem before?

I love Penang

Ya Rerd — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 07:58:38 +0800

The Penang government launched the i-love-penang smart card during their 2018 budget. Anyone knows how to apply / register for this card?

QUOTE

Every year, these households will be given RM300 credit in their I-Love-Penang card to pay for outpatient clinic fees and medicines, capped at RM50 per visit. Single individuals with income less than RM2,500 will also get RM150 credit a year, similarly capped at RM50 per visit.

This will help ordinary working people who fall ill to see a doctor immediately without worrying too much about expensive charges or travelling to government clinics that are far away from their homes.

The estimated cost for this program, which will benefit 195,000 households, is RM 60 million a year. This is a serious undertaking by the Penang government despite the fact that health remains entirely under Federal jurisdiction. This contrasts with the Federal government cutting down pharmaceutical and public health supply costs by RM19 million from RM 950 million in 2017 to RM931 million in 2018.

Request bank statements

Ya Rerd — Mon, 08 Jan 2018 15:13:36 +0800

This may be a noob question but here goes.

We can request for past statements from banks by paying some money but how far back can we get past statements.
Do they still have the details of each transactions for a particular month or do they lump everything up?
I'm looking to get statements from 2 years back, I missed some of the online statements which I usually save routinely every 3 months.
BTW, this is an online created account so does not have automated statements which can be emailed.

[WTF] Property Management Companies

Hi guys...

I am looking for property management companies (e.g. Henry Butcher, Raine&Horne, etc.) that can manage the daily maintenance needs of my taman.

After 2 years of having our homeowner's committee and company, we have decided to look for a professional property management company to manage our taman.

Any idea where and how can I get info to these service providers?

Honda City 1.5 iDSI Jerks

Ya Rerd — Sun, 28 Jun 2015 22:56:51 +0800

Hi guys,

Hope you can help me out here with my problem with my Honda City iDSI.

Whenever I drive, usually when my car's shifting from low gears (1/2) during a standstill or after I've slowdown considerably, to higher gears into cruising speeds . It's not multiple jerks by just one strong like when your car suddenly went into gear, a slight pull back then launch forward.

Any ideas what could be the problem? I haven't sent to Honda for them to check

Blackberry Z10 Security Flaw

Ya Rerd — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:23:26 +0800

Hey fellow enthusiasts,

Not sure if you guys have figured out this problem (I called it problem because it seems to be a big thing when the same thing happened to iPhone last time out) but you can actually bypass the lock screen which means not having to key in the device password.

The issue is pretty much the same and the root cause is similar to iPhone too. All you need to do is:

1. Turn on your screen by pressing the Unlock button at the top. Or by swiping up.
2. You shall be prompted by a logon request / screen (if you have activated the security feature)
3. Instead of entering the password, access the camera using the camera button located at the bottom right of your screen
4. From the camera, view an existing picture taken earlier from the thumbnail at the lower left corner.
5. While your are viewing the picture, swipe up like you would do to exit the picture viewer.
6. Voila! Your phone is unlocked! Security bypassed...

So guys, do you think this is a flaw just like iPhone. I wonder if Blackberry found this out yet or a fix is on it's way...

OR it's not an issue at all...

So far I've not found anything written on this matter... anyone found anything?

[WTG] Blackberry Plug-in Speaker

Ya Rerd — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:44:17 +0800

Hi all,

I'm about the join the BB community very soon (getting a Bold 9700).
I'll be using this phone for office purposes and one of the requirement is to probably have constant conference calls on the go.
And speakerphone function is definitely not the option because it's just not loud enough.

So I'm actually looking for a speaker-like device (think iPod speakers) that I can plug-in to my "incoming" BB...

Are there such devices?

NPE Toll Abolished

Ya Rerd — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:09:13 +0800

Hey guys,

I'm sure you guys know about the Government abolishing one of the New Pantai Expressway a.k.a. NPE toll.

But my question is... WHICH ONE IS IT????

I'm a frequent NPE user and I still pay all the tolls to and fro Subang and KL.

Can anyone help me on which one of the toll is gone?
