omicron - why rakyat worried about raya

maniack — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 17:19:03 +0800

as per title, why mostly rakyat majority is more worried about their raya and start blaming the gov want to cancel their raya

if there is any lockdown or stricten SOP, the CNY will be first impacted but dont see minority rakyat bising about it?

the majority so butthurt even the case is proven spiking after their raya still want blame gov making up conspiracy so they cannot raya

Malaysia is failing

maniack — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:16:10 +0800

we went from 'How Malaysia did the impossible' to;

- daily case maintain 5k even 1 month of TOTAL LOCKDOWN
- increase of ppl suicide attempt
- increase of ppl begging for daily food, had to introduce self initiative called white flag
- unstable politic and ruler, even criticize white flag initiative and ask to pray instead
- bad example of politician and kayangan people
-> durian video case
-> neelofap case
-> TMJ case
- low mentality mind people who thinks cov is conspiracy and avoid getting vaccine
- low vaccination rate compared to other APAC country, but yet proud of high vaccination number
- increase of racial issue compared to few years back
- increase country debt -
-> pay to S$102 million in compensation
-> keep printing money to help local
-> 1MDB debt
- home education doesn't reach to student with no internet access and low internet coverage in rural area
- give free device to student also get the cheapest but budget is more than that, device also tend to explode
- health care is failing with increase of #saveMYcontractHCW, the doctor didnt get what they deserved after years of study and expensive education fees
- incompetent people in charge and holding high position
-> train kiss press conference incident really shows how incompetent ppl able to secure the high position only base on their influence, not person's capability
- we been thru many festive celebration, and was able to handle the case.. but during the recent festive celebration, the number went out of control all because janji oren kito

list to be updated down the road

inb4; during election, lots of flag and poster on the street creating awareness for ppl to vote
but during lockdown, none of banner and poster creating awareness for ppl to stick with SOP

staggered work scheduling system

maniack — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 17:57:04 +0800

even the gov allowing more workforce at the office, but my company is limiting to 30% of workforce in the office

every staff is expected to request for their slot for them to come to office, so the number wont exceed 30% at a time

wonder what is the simplest tools we can use, having manual excel for 500 ppl to open and fill their time slot is a no no

im looking a tools like a class booking system, where the system will show number of 'slot taken/slot available'

currently exploring Microsoft Bookings, but would like to hear other suggestions

what have u learned from this pandemic

maniack — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 16:22:19 +0800

we have been living so called normal life until this pandemic hit us..

currently we are moving towards the vaccination and things are slowly restoring at its own pace..

but what if there is another 2nd pandemic.. a 3rd pandemic and how prepare are u if there is?

lets share the things that we can prepare ourself strategically, so if there is another pandemic, u will be less affected;

- stay in house that have its own ecosystem, for example below ur house there is mall, super market, restaurant etc so even if u cant move around, the things u needed is just downstairs
- work in sector that is less vulnerable to pandemic, avoid being pasar malam tokey or F&B services, construction worker or interior designer, travel agencies
- married with same state spouse; so dont need to travel too far
- always and always save up money and measure ur own spending
- if there is extra cash, house is more important than luxy car.. u can stay and shit in ur house but not in ur car.. in the end the car is just parked there and be a burden
- having personal smart device is important, it dont need to be a high end, but the entry or mid level is sufficient.. a close friend of mine had to share his device with his kids and the kids need to take turns using the device for online learning.. end up missed few classed cuz dont have enough device
- having an unlimited internet is important, never us internet with quota

this is only sharing and there is no right or wrong.. share ur thought to inspire others

my boss is at urge of cheating

maniack — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:00:09 +0800

so my boss, at director level, shared that even he has a good life, good money, good car, good house, he feels that the family is leeching him

the waifu, is pretty, high maintenance, not working.. every month will ask for money for treatment, shopping, and vacations

he has 3 kids, also pampered with money, demand for an overseas vacation, skiing activities as hobbies

every year, the in-law family will ask him to sponsor overseas vacation for the whole family and usually, duration of stay is 2 weeks

so imagine the money spent.. and the wife also not working, only him is working

he felt everyone is leeching him while he works his ass off.. he have the urge to have his own 'time' and most likely what else man want

but he is a family man, and he doesn't want to cheat and destroy the family.. so he is stuck..

any advice on the man out there if u guys have the same experience or friend who has a similar situation..

appreciate your thought

to blind orang kampung

maniack — Sat, 16 Jun 2018 09:14:37 +0800

so its getting a trend whereby during raya, ppl will
- rent a car especially H logo car to brag off when go back to their kampung, while wagging the rented car key
- go to at least 3 star hotel to take family photo so it looks nice for fb

all these expenses is still consider cheap if u buy the whole car or renovate ur house, just for the sake of bragging rights

scam restaurant

maniack — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 22:34:44 +0800

woke up from nap and decided to scroll FB and found this ads..

it advertise that a HUGE LOBSTER at pricing of rm10-15 ringgit only.. but when u look into the picture..

it is a freaking crayfish instead ..

if u see the menu, they all advertise as LOBSTER as the menu, but they use crayfish instead

sadly, many local dont know the difference between lobster and crayfish will go there and think they are eating lobster..

what a scam

so apparently there is argument that crayfish is a type of lobster

lets put this way, if they advertise as 'ikan bakar' but when u go there they give 'ikan bilis bakar'

and the explanation is 'ikan bilis is also ikan', will u accept that?

another perspective if they advertise ad turkey, but when u go there they serve using normal chicken and jack up the price

'chicken also related to turkey what'
