KOHTT — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 05:02:07 +0800

Is there any other way to search?

anyone having trouble to terminate tm fixed line

KOHTT — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 21:26:57 +0800

Ayam has one fixed phone line at my house and we have been using it since many years back.

Recently, due to my father past away, I decided to terminate this phone permanently since all my friends and relative contact me via my hand phone rather than this fixed line.

Try to terminate via the TM website, mana tau the system keep showing error message and unable to proceed further in their website.

Nevermind, still can call them or email. I email them by the way, they responded that I must give 30 days notice and all remaining balance must be cleared prior to day 30. The day I made submit request was considered as day one.

I was like wtf, why got this kind of SOP one....

Still..I patiently wait until around 27/28 days...the unifi app showed the phone line got RMXX and immediately I made paid.

But till today (> 30 days already), I found out that this phone line is still active.

I followed up with the TM/ Unify CS. Surprise me I was informed they unable to terminated the phone line for me because I failed to clear remaining balance within 14 days and I have made fresh termination application by giving 30 days notice.

I keep explaining to the CS that as long as I paid the remaining within 30 days (as stated in their email) then should be no issue and the app did not indicated any outstanding balance until end of the month. But the CS just kept saying sorry, they can't terminate for me now and must give another 30 days notice and insist to talk to owner of this line (which is my father who has past away)

End of the story... I am thinking to:

i) lodge the report to the customer tribunal or kpdnhep and

ii) refuse to paid all the remaining outstanding till they block the line. But I am not sure what is repercussion since I was considering installing unify in my house in future.

Any advise from /k? No involving big amount but it is more like a conflict on my principle.

Try to pry open the tiles so that can paste the glue onto it but unable to do so because the other end of tiles remain stick firmly to the base.

Possible to DIY on this? Because polishing already costs a lot for me.

Any reliable external iphone repairer?

KOHTT — Sat, 12 Mar 2016 00:09:09 +0800

Recently my iphone 5c cannot start up properly after resetting and stuck at the apple logo and never go into the normal ios screen.

Bring it to the authorize service centre, the guy told me that they would do diagnosis test and if the issue is due to software issue, then they will reinstall the ios or the reformat it if still cannot resolve. If still cannot resolve, there is no much they can do about except offer me 1 to 1 exchange, new for old and I need to pay RK1,420.00.

I ended up in the second situation (hardware problem) and the data in phone also gone forever.

I want to try my luck on the external iphone repair parties, but no sure if it a good area since I hope can retrieve back and save some of my iphone data and RM1,420 is too expensive.

Any one can recommend reliable external party who repair the iphone in PJ?

BEST AON HEWITT BEST EMPLOYER:-

Starbuck Coffees (BEST OF THE BEST)

American Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd;

DHL Express Malaysia;

Eco World Development Group Bhd;

FedEx Express;

Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie;

Marriott International, Malaysia;

SP Setia Bhd and

Sime Darby Property Bhd.

PETALING JAYA: Starbucks Coffee Malaysia has been named Malaysia's best employer at the Aon Hewitt Best Employers – Malaysia 2015 Awards, bagging the "Best of the Best" title at the awards ceremony yesterday.

Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc, said companies that are recognised as an Aon Hewitt Best Employer are organisations that inspire strong commitment and superior performance from its people, drive business results through effective people practices and manage their businesses in ways that build long-term success and sustainability.

"The Aon Hewitt Best Employers award is one of the most significant recognitions that a company could get in validation to its human resources practices and talent management initiatives. Getting this award means a lot to all of us in the company. It brings pride at all levels of the organisation, not only to our partners (employees) but their families as well," said Starbucks Coffee Malaysia & Brunei managing director Sydney Quays.

Eight other companies were accorded the "Best Employer Malaysia 2015" title – American Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd; DHL Express Malaysia; Eco World Development Group Bhd; FedEx Express; Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie; Marriott International, Malaysia; SP Setia Bhd and Sime Darby Property Bhd.

Aon Hewitt also presented special recognition awards to Marriott International, Malaysia for "Best Employer - Commitment to Engagement", American Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd for "Best Employer for Generation Y" and McDonald's Malaysia for "Best Employer for Women".

FedEx Express, having received three Aon Hewitt Best Employers awards in the region this year, was also recognised as a Regional Best Employer in Asia Pacific 2015.

"Best Employers clearly achieve better business results compared to market. We found that Best Employers in Malaysia achieve significant higher growth in their income profits when compared to market average. This makes becoming a Best Employer a business agenda for Malaysian companies and not just an human resources agenda," said Aon Hewitt Malaysia managing director Prashant Chadha.

The Aon Hewitt Best Employers programme is a comprehensive study in Asia Pacific covering 12 markets namely China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.

The study was conducted over a nine-month period culminating in a list of Best Employers for each market. Aon Hewitt announced the list of Malaysian winners yesterday in partnership with TalentCorp Malaysia.

"It is imperative for employers to conduct innovative and competitive practices that drive people and business performance to increase the human resources standards and expectations in the country for the benefit of both employees and employers. The Aon Hewitt Best Employers award acknowledges the importance of these practices for Malaysia to move towards a high productivity and high income nation status," said TalentCorp CEO Johan Mahmood Merican.

Phase 2 of traffic system in PJ to be carried out

KOHTT — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:49:21 +0800

http://www.thestar.com.my/Metro/Community/...art-this-month/

PHASE 2 of the one-way loop in Petaling Jaya will see the work divided into four sub-phases lasting 18 months, said Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran in a press briefing on the traffic system’s progress.

In its “Proposed Construction Work Programme,” the first sub-phase (termed “quarter”) will see the western half of Jalan Utara, Jalan Timur and part of Jalan Sultan being developed from March till mid-July.

The second quarter, starting from July till November this year, comprises Jalan Barat, certain sections of Persiaran Barat, the eastern half of Jalan Utara and the remainder of Jalan Sultan.

Other roads, such as Jalan Yong Shook Lin and the remainder of Persiaran Barat will be developed in the third quarter, which will start from December and end in mid-April next year.

The final sub-phase, such as final landscaping touches and road furniture such as bus stops and safety railings, is targetted for completion by Aug 31, 2016.

However, both Rajiv and Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) councillor Ang Ming Ern said a formal request had been put in to shorten the 18-month construction period spelled out in the original tender awarded, to minimise inconvenience.

“Based on the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety’s (Miros) recommendations, the council appointed Pakatan Jurutera Pintar Sdn Bhd as the road safety consultants,” said Rajiv.

Ang said the contractor and MBPJ would finalise details such as the access and exit points for stakeholders along the road, including Amcorp Mall where the exit point leads out onto Jalan Timur despite cars weaving in to enter Persiaran Barat ahead.

“The traffic flow is confirmed, we are adding further details such as gradients and other features to ensure road safety,” he added.

The planned survey on the traffic system’s business impact by opinion research firm Merdeka Centre will be conducted at a later date, despite an earlier statement that the survey and a stakeholder dialogue would be held before Chinese New Year.

When contacted, MBPJ councillor Lee Suet Sen said the firm had submitted its research proposal and costing on March 12.

Some residents, however, are unhappy that the one-way loop will enter its permanent phase despite the earlier three-month trial period.

“It was supposed to be a trial period. Where are the studies or numbers done to justify the continuation of the project?” asked Section 12 resident David Foo.

Furthermore, he said Jalan Utara ran past residential areas and its conversion into a six-lane single carriageway with free-flow traffic as part of the one-way loop, was basically turning Jalan Utara into an intra-city highway next to a housing area.

Foo also questioned whether the appointment of the aforementioned road safety design consultants would add more costs to the traffic system project.

Since the one-way loop’s experimental phase in October last year, there has been at least one fatality where a pedestrian was killed by a hit-and-run driver while crossing Jalan Utara.

PJ One Loop System will be permanent

靈市單向道計劃永久性落實，商民褒貶不一。

民眾認為應在單向道上增設行人天橋及斑馬線，以確保道路使用者的安全

民眾認為，儘管單向道計劃試跑後的確紓緩了當地的交通，但是卻大大減少了人潮以致他們的生意受影響，因此促請靈市政廳三思。

受訪的靈市商家則認為，單向道計劃造成市民混淆，更因此覺得麻煩而拒絕駛入，導致他們的客源嚴重流失，生意額降低一半，甚至還有商家因此倒閉。
因此他們希望靈市政廳取消該項計劃，恢復雙向道。

不過持贊成意見的民眾卻認為，既然上述計劃將永久落實，那麼當局有必要進一步提昇涉及的道路及基設，如行人天橋和斑馬線，以保障道路使用者的安危。
晉提昇道路“動工期”

靈市單向道計劃自去年10月12日試跑至今年1月，並於今年3月1日起正式永久性落實，同時也進入提昇道路的“動工期”，工程將分4個階段進行，預計將耗時18個月，於明年8月31日完工。

該單向道所涉及的路段包括靈市西路、北路、東路、蘇丹路及楊旭齡路5條主要道路，至於敦胡先翁眼科專科醫院北路B後巷（Lorong Utara B）和北路小巷（Lorong Utara Kecil）將恢復雙向道。

另外，在靈市希爾頓酒店至再也花園輕快鐵站的柏西蘭西路（Persiaran Barat）則保持單向道，惟再也花園輕快鐵站至阿瑪廣場的柏西蘭西路則是雙向道。
單向道基設急需提昇

《大都會》社區報今早巡訪該單向道時，發現該單向道的基設有待提昇，包括必須把分界堤剷除，設立行人天橋及斑馬線，並重新進行鋪路工程。
另外，從聯邦大道前往北路時，由於亞洲再也輕快鐵站前設立了斑馬線及交通燈，影響了從聯邦大道進入單向道北路的交通，因此建議當局可把斑馬線改為行人天橋。
拉吉夫：北路B後巷北路小巷恢復雙向道

行動黨武吉加星州議員拉吉夫向《大都會》社區報透露，基於居民的需求，當局決定把北路B後巷和北路小巷恢復為雙向道，以方便居民出入。

他指出，該兩條巷子在多年來都是雙向道，惟在去年10月的單向道試跑計劃開始改為單向道，引起居民的不滿及不便。

他也說，至於柏西蘭西路，從希爾頓酒店至再也花園輕快鐵站路段是單向道，而也花園輕快鐵站至阿瑪廣場路段則是雙向道，如今也是保持不變。

黃顯榮（45歲，市場行銷員）：應設行人天橋及指示牌
“經過數個月的試用期後，我目前已習慣靈市單向道改道後的路線，惟我發現靈市52區的車輛已明顯減少，人潮流失。
雖然改成單向道可以改善塞車情況，但駕駛人士必須要更注意路面情況，因為把2條車道變4條車道後，我們更需要留意穿越道路的行人。
因此，希望有關當局可以增設行人天橋和道路指示牌，保障行人安全。”

王女士（60歲，小販）：客源流失商店關閉
“計劃既然已落實我們唯有遵從，但是我希望當局取消單向道計劃，恢復原狀，因為這項計劃已經直接影響我們的生意，生意額更因此減半。
雖然我已習慣單向道的路線，但還有許多不常來的顧客不熟悉改道後的路線，導致我們只能做附近上班族的生意。
附近更有商家因客源嚴重流失而紛紛關閉。”

羅偉立（20歲，學生）：希望增設更明顯指示牌
“其實我常常感到混淆，還不確定哪個車道變單向，更因錯過一個路口而需兜大圈才到達目的地。我也發現有很多駕駛人士也面對同樣的問題。
不過我覺得改成單向道的確有助於紓緩阻塞的交通。我希望有關當局能增設更明顯的道路指示牌及提昇道路基設，以方便駕駛人士。”

劉先生（43歲，手機店主）：52區人潮明顯減少
“自從靈市改為單向道後，靈市52區的人潮已明顯減少，許多顧客也紛紛向我投訴需要繞一大圈才能夠到達該區，更因此嫌麻煩不來。
這對商家造成極大的影響，所以我覺得還是恢復原狀才能保障商家的利益。”（星洲日報‧大都會）

PJ folk has the different opinion on the pj one way loop system after MPBJ confirmed that they will make this plan permanent.

Some PJ folks think that the authority should build the overhead bridge and crossing line for safety reason. The one way system has affected their business dramatically and they hope the authority to revert back to the old system. Some of their business sales has dropped by 50% and some even close down for good.

The one way PJ loop system will be permanent in placed from 1/3/15 onward and some upgrading construction projects will be carried out in 4 phase. It is estimated that the whole projects will take 18 months and targeted to completed by 30/8/16.

The one loop system will affect Jln Utara, Jln Timur, Jalan Barat, Jln Yong Shook lin. However, Lorong Utara B and Lorong Utara Kecil will revert back to old two way system.

From Hilton Hotel to Taman Jaya LRT(Persiaran Barat) remain stick to the one way loop system. From LRT to 阿瑪廣場的柏西蘭西路 will change back to the two way system.

Why we need to pay 10% service charges?

KOHTT — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:28:44 +0800

We have been served by the cheap labour in restaurant, for example, Bangladeshi, Napalise, Indonesian etc.

Why have to pay that 10% service charges on top of the 6% govt tax?

How does this system started? How do we make sure that service charge collected goes to the waiters rather than ended in the restaurant's bank account as extra profit?

PJ one-way loop may be made permanent soon

KOHTT — Sat, 13 Dec 2014 00:07:41 +0800

PETALING JAYA, Oct 31 — The one-way traffic loop system, which went on three months’ trial on October 12, may be made permanent as early as December.

This follows positive feedback from motorists, mayor Datin Paduka Alinah Ahmad said yesterday.

“The trial was scheduled to last until January 12 but we might bring it forward now,” she said.

Alinah said the city council had received 96 complaints on the system.

Among them were a lack of road signs and street lights, wrongly painted arrows, and safety concerns for pedestrians.

The complaints have been attended to and improvements made.

“We appreciate the feedback by the public and we will do what we can to further smoothen the traffic flow,” she said.

Alinah said a survey conducted after the second week of implementation found that although there were safety concerns, many were happy with the traffic flow.

She said road widening work would continue.

“It is highly unlikely that we will decide to scrap this system after it has proved to reduce traffic congestion,” she said.

Alinah said the council would set up a specific call-line for motorists to lodge complaints instead of addressing the council’s general hotline.

During the first two weeks of its implementation, motorists voiced their frustrations as they claimed the route was confusing.

The council rectified the problems immediately with the installation of more street lights along Jalan Semangat, functional traffic light push buttons along Jalan Yong Shook Lin, Jalan Barat and Jalan Timur, and road signages around the loop.

The council’s traffic officers were also placed at bottlenecks to monitor and ensure smooth traffic flow.

On a separate matter, Alinah said the council had allocated RM11.85 million for maintenance of roads, street lights and traffic lights next year.

She said six teams had been assigned to patrol the streets, identity the areas where roads are damaged and rectify the problem.

Each team consists of five men, with two teams covering the SS and Section areas, and a team each in the PJU and PJS areas.

“Manpower for the teams would be increased if necessary,” she said.
