Hello, today (25/8) is the first day of the second dose administered to those who took vaccine with MAIWP PPV at dewan serbaguna Bandar tun razak fasa 1E

Please go to where you get your first jab instead of TTDI, despite your second dose appointment looking like this. And you don't have to follow the time, please come early, give doctors, staff and volunteers early rest, and most importantly don't make them wait for you

So this morning got this message from 03 2617 5222, reminding first dose recipient to go to the same PPV location like the first. Hopefully the message gets delivered and read.

MCMC Issues Compounds Worth RM4.6 Million To Telco Companies

Heirul Kamel -July 4, 2020

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) released a statement today saying that it had issued a total of 92 compounds amounting to RM4.6 million to telco companies. These were issued as of the second quarter of 2020 for various offences under Section 105(3) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (AKM 1998).

The regulatory body explained that the offences include the unsatisfactory performances by telcos in regards to billing complaint solution, non-billing complaint solution, and call management performance standard. MCMC believes this move will strengthen the confidence and trustworthiness of consumers in the country’s communications and multimedia industry, as well as ensuring its sustainability in the interest of consumers in the long term.

“MCMC will continue to be firm with those who fail to maintain the standard set under the Act, Mandatory Standards for Quality of Service and General Consumer Code,” said MCMC in the statement. “Those who disobey can be fined under Section 105(3) of AKM 1998 which provides for a maximum fine of RM100,000 for each offence.”

It added that the number of compounds and value issued in 2020 were much higher than the previous year, which only saw 26 compounds totalling at RM960,000. MCMC stated that the increase in the number of compounds this year reflected its firm commitment in ensuring that the quality of customer experience is always prioritised.

When we get worse PM than bijan

ohtheirony — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 00:03:04 +0800

And bijan cooperates with DAP to make the pm resign, would you support him?

Because you will become one of older generation

And the younger generation will blindly support anything that sides with DAP

That's what happening with you young generations now

When you don't know what mamakthir done in the past

Suddenly blindly support him just because he is in DAP camp now

What is PAN plan now? Continue

ohtheirony — Sat, 18 Jun 2016 23:40:45 +0800

From the recent by-elections it is very clear PAN is headed no where. The only way they can win a seat is if umno does not contest there. However u think this is possible? So means they can only be vote splitter. Is this PAN long term plan? The main establishment is also unclear. Previously want to use Islam in party name, which shows the true intention of using religion to bait malays into voting them while not supporting Muslim-related thing like shown recently.

Prepaid reload returns to pre-GST next month?

ohtheirony — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:59:40 +0800

*Edited to provide english news source, for malay go to bottom of post*

Prepaid cards back to pre-GST prices on November 1, says paper -

The Customs Department is set to announce that mobile prepaid cards will revert to the pre-goods and services tax (GST) prices on November 1, Utusan Malaysia reported today.

The department and the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) were in talks to ensure that consumers no longer paid the GST for mobile prepaid cards, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani told the Malay broadsheet.

Johari said the government would not compromise with telecommunication companies (telcos) which failed to adhere to the new ruling.

“How the telcos want to charge is up to them. What matters is that the people buy RM10 and they get RM10.

“We want the Customs Department to follow this up with MCMC and announce it on November 1,” he was quoted as saying after attending a forum in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. – October 19, 2015.

So the reload price is probably gonna be reverted back to rounded number instead of GST added cents

But there will be some problems:

1. What happened to unsold prepaid reloads after then?

2. Some telco (such as Yeah) charge GST on reloaded amount, as I had observed in bills immediately after GST started, and some nicer telco don't. So after this adjustment, the GST charged on reload should be returned since GST is supposed to be implemented on usage such as calls, sms and internet, no?

3. Telco absorbs the pre-GST taxes for prepaid, which is the same amount of 6%. SO after this when the reload price reverted, how should they justify?

Please discuss intellectually, and if possible avoid politics and trolling since this is not kopitiam. TQ.

Basic internet reduced to 500mb/month

ohtheirony — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:07:08 +0800

Referring to this site

QUOTE

Akan tetapi mobile basic internet telah ditukar menjadi 500 MB sahaja , mengikut terms telco yang ditetapkan SKMM . Lebih tepat kena komplain dari pesaing telco lain la sebab rugi customer semua lari ke celcom .

Asking for telco experts here for more info

Either this or all major telco agrees to reduce together

Im guessing the evil telco that complaints to MCMC is the one who starts to reduce the basic internet quota first

Lets make a boycott move to that telco

If not mnp just reload minimum ringgit at the end of cycle just to maintain the number

Lets just hope that umobile wont be following the same path
