This giant twin-arch was built in 1981 across the Federal Highway separating Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. <br /><br />Just after the exit to Batu caves, a one and a half kilometre stretch of Jalan Kuching separates Selangor on the right where the Pasaraya Warta Lama is located, and Kuala Lumpur on the left. <br /><br />The bus-cum-taxi stand in front of Warta is probably the longest in the country, with the front portion near the staircase to an overhead pedestrian bridge reserved for buses, but always occupied by waiting taxis. <br /><br />The opposite bus-cum-taxi stand located on the Kuala Lumpur side is even worse. Although a lay-by was constructed for buses to drive in so as not to hold up traffic behind, the narrow lay-by is often blocked by taxis (see pics). <br /><br />This stretch of the border between Selangor and Kuala Lumpur is similar to many “cowboy towns” that are common in many countries’ borders. <br /><br />We have many enforcement agencies that include the police, Road Transport Department, Land Public Transport Commission, Selayang Municipal Council and Kuala Lumpur City Hall, but none determined to ensure taxi drivers behave at these two bus-cum-taxi stands. <br /><br />If our enforcement agencies are shorthanded, they could outsource the surveillance to private security companies. All the security officers need do is record these violations on video and submit the evidence to the agency that appointed them. <br /><br />The offending taxi drivers could easily be traced and reached by phone calls to report at the enforcement agency office. Taxi drivers that express remorse could be let off with a warning but should be slapped with the maximum force of the law should they be caught again. <br /><br />Issuing a few summonses daily whenever enforcement officers are on their rounds and calling up offending drivers at other times are sure to work wonders on taxi drivers’ behaviour. <br /><br />Sadly, the lack of enforcement has emboldened taxi drivers to the point they think it is their right to occupy the spot reserved for buses. If they are not checked, the situation may turn hostile to passengers preferring buses over taxis, if they are not already. <br /><br />The situation at these two bus-cum-taxi stands is a clear reflection on the “competency” of our enforcement agencies, not their key performance indicators. <br /><br />CY Ming is an FMT reader.<br /><br /> kaxe113 The Museum Of Kopitiam Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:42:22 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4358683 to those who has watched the movie about this headhunter guy<br /><br /><a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Family_Man' target='_blank'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Family_Man</a> kaxe113 Jobs &amp; Careers Fri, 14 Jul 2017 09:24:34 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4356336 fidget spinner kaxe113 The Museum Of Kopitiam Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:16:40 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4353312 THERE is still no end in sight to the almost 10-year battle over a carpark between the Sea Park Apartment residents and the landowner of the carpark lot in Jalan 21/13, Petaling Jaya.<br /><br />The apartments that were built in the early 1980s did not come with a carpark and residents had to pay a parking fee to use it.<br /><br />This was because the land surrounding the six blocks of apartments was privately owned and sold by the developer in 2008.<br /><br />From then on, the situation became complicated for the new landowner, Yap Say Tee, as residents refused to cooperate and claimed the land as theirs.<br /><br />It was reported in 2013 that residents were up in arms with the landowner when he brought in an excavator to dig up the road.<br /><br />The residents tried to stop the work from being carried out despite a court order obtained by Say Tee’s lawyers.<br /><br />The matter was then brought to court shortly after the incident and in May, Say Tee won the case.<br /><br />Say Tee’s daughter Cecilia Yap said the residents refused to pay the parking fee and had been using the land for free since 2008.<br /><br />“We offered to discuss with them, either to rent or buy a parking bay, but there has been no response,” said Cecilia.<br /><br />She added that the current situation was not much different than before as residents still refused to respond to the landowner even after they won the case in court.<br /><br />Cecilia and her lawyers have been actively trying to hold a dialogue with the residents to explain the matter to them and discuss rental fees, but have not heard from them.<br /><br />She wondered if the residents understood the situation as they had not been giving any feedback.<br /><br />“It is stated in their sales and purchase agreement signed over 30 years ago that their apartment units do not come with parking bays and the land where their cars are parked now belongs to us,” Cecilia said, adding that they had been paying the necessary taxes and other fees to maintain the land.<br /><br />The four lots of land can accommodate up to 500 parking bays, enough to cater to the 264 units there.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Say Tee’s lawyer Lim Kian Huat said Say Tee now has the right to get back vacant possession of the four lots, which means anything found on those lots would have to be removed immediately.<br /><br />“Even now there are still abandoned cars there and residents are still parking on those lots, which by law, they are not allowed to use anymore,” he said.<br /><br />Lim added that based on the court ruling, residents also had to pay parking fees owed to the landowner dating from 2008.<br /><br />“If you take an average of perhaps RM100 per month and multiply that amount with 264 units for a year, and then multiply the number of years since 2008, the figure will amount to millions of ringgit,” he said.<br /><br />They are now urging the residents to meet with them so that they can be briefed on the situation and come up with a solution to resolve the matter. However, if residents still refuse to respond, they will have no choice but to seize the land.<br /><br />“We are hoping it will not come to that as we are unsure if the residents are aware of this land matter,” added Lim.<br /><br /><br />Read more at <a href='http://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2017/07/10/carpark-dispute-at-sea-park-apartment-drags-on/#7iIvvKCx11s5U9i1.99' target='_blank'>http://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/...vKCx11s5U9i1.99</a> kaxe113 The Museum Of Kopitiam Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:49:25 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4187942 <!--SPOILER BEGIN--><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('2fc28792625bf5165fad4129148053fc')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>&raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &laquo;</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="2fc28792625bf5165fad4129148053fc" style="display:none"><!--SPOILER END-->This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on January 23-29, 2017. AFTER operating for almost 15 years and now enjoying record-high passenger volumes, many would expect that KLIA Ekspres to be a commercially viable project that can stand on its own. Unfortunately, that does not ­appear to be the case. <br /><br />Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd, KLIA Ekspres’ operator, is actually under financial stress and is looking for a way out. Along with a 30-year extension that ERL is seeking from the government in lieu of RM2.9 billion in compensation owed to it, the company is also said to be restructuring about RM2.8 billion in debts owed to Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd (BPMB). <br /><br />Furthermore, sources tell The Edge ERL is seeking higher collection from the passenger service charge (PSC). Currently, ERL collects RM5 and RM1 from outbound international and domestic passengers respectively. PSC collected from passengers in KLIA and klia 2 is shared between Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd and the government based on a formula. <br /><br />ERL gets a share of the portion that the government receives. In short, the extension of concession alone might not be enough for ERL to turn profitable. It will also need to defer the bulk of its debt payments while boosting its non-fare PSC income. Note that YTL Corp Bhd owns a 45% stake in ERL and Lembaga Tabung Haji, 36%. SIPP Rail Sdn Bhd, which is linked to the Sultan of Johor, owns a 10% stake and the balance of 9% is held by Trisilco Equity Sdn Bhd. Currently, the company is negotiating with the Public Private Partnership Unit under the Prime Minister’s Department to settle the RM2.9 billion it is claiming from the government for not being able to raise fares according to the concession agreement. <br /><br />Meanwhile, filings with the Companies Commission of Malaysia in December 2016 show an increase in “liability secured under a charge” from RM940 million to RM4.08 billion by ERL. The charge was originally lodged in late 1998 as a soft loan provided by the government to help ERL finance a portion of the RM2.4 billion cost to build the KLIA Ekspres. Based on ERL’s financials as at June 2015, the outstanding debts owed to BPMB have ballooned to RM2.8 billion in total — RM1.071 billion under a “BPMB facility” and RM1.73 billion under a “repayment facility”. <br /><br />ERL, which seems to be struggling to service its debts, has requested deferment of instalments for the Repayment Facility due on May 5, and Nov 5, 2015.BPMB agreed to the deferments. While ERL’s FY2016 financials have not yet been lodged, sources familiar with the company say that some debt repayments were met during the financial year, reducing total borrowings to RM2.3 billion. To meet the obligations however, it is understood that additional capital had to be injected into the company. But given ERL’s losses, this is not sustainable and repayments have to be deferred as part of a wider debt restructuring. <br /><br />ERL posted an after tax loss of RM4.07 million in FY2015. This is the second time that ERL needs to restructure its debts. The BPMB and repayment facilities were both restructured in 2005, with the Finance Ministry’s approval, according to ERL’s financial statements. The previous restructuring fixed the interest rate for both the facilities at zero — from January 1999 to January 2012 and from November 2002 to November 2015 respectively (see Table 1). <br /><br />The BPMB Facility was then subject to an interest rate of 13.01% per annum from January 2012 to January 2024. The Repayment ­Facility was subject to an interest rate of 11.3% per annum starting from November 2014 to November 2027. <br /><br />Presently, additional deferment of the debt repayments is crucial for ERL if the company hopes to turn a profit. The 30-year extension will be meaningless if the repayments outpace the growth in operational profits. Based on ERL’s liquidity risk analysis, the company would have to repay RM1.178 billion over two years (July 2015 to June 2017). In total, the terminal cash value of the debts would amount to RM3.57 billion based on the current repayment schedule. <br /><br />While ERL is operationally profitable — making RM122.09 million in FY2015 — its earnings are grossly insufficient to meet its obligations. At face value, it appears that the excessive debts may cause the downfall of the ERL project. However, this should not be the case given the relatively lenient interest and repayment terms of the debts thus far. In fact, it is quite surprising that the ERL project is struggling financially at all. After all, it services one of the top 10 busiest airports in Asia-Pacific, with over 51 million passengers a year. <br /><br />Besides, KLIA is far from the city centre — 67km by road — which increases the appeal of rail travel. The addition of klia2 to the ERL’s line was also a huge windfall — it more than doubled ridership volumes to a record 11.03 million in 2015. The government even paid the RM100 million cost to connect klia2 to the KLIA Ekspres line in 2014. On top of that, ERL’s revenue is substantially boosted by the PSC collection. <br /><br />In FY2015, the RM70.9 million of PSC revenue collected made up 28.8% of the total revenue that year — RM246.2 million. Fare revenue was RM175.15 million. Whopping RM2.9 bil claim It could be argued that ERL is loss-making because it was not ­allowed to raise fares in line with the fare schedule under the original concession agreement. Consequently, it is claiming RM2.9 billion in compensation. However, it could be argued that the ERL fare schedule is highly unrealistic. <br /><br />Based on it, fares for the express service should have been increased to RM41 in 2004, RM56 in 2009 and RM74 in 2014. By 2024, the fares would be a hefty RM126 for a single trip. Instead, the fares were kept at RM35 for many years before being increased to RM55 a trip in late 2015. This hike, however, caused passenger volumes to fall for the first time, down 12% year on year to 9.7 million in 2016. This is not entirely surprising given there are ample alternatives to the ERL. Services like Grab that can easily seat more than one passenger are offering airport rides for as low as RM65. Meanwhile, airport shuttle buses can be as cheap as RM17 for a one-way trip. <br /><br />Based on the fare schedule, ERL would be charging RM74 for a one-way ride today. That would be about the same fare an airport taxi would charge to most areas in the Klang Valley. Clearly, the RM74 fare would not make commercial sense. ERL is currently adding six more trains that will boost capacity by 50%. Hiking the fares further at this point would be counter-productive when more ridership is needed. Thus, asking for higher PSC revenue makes more sense for ERL as it would not impact the rail’s ridership volumes. Sources familiar with ERL however, point out that the PSC hike is unrelated to the compensation negotiations with the government. But combined, the 30-year extension, higher PSC charges, and the debt restructuring will definitely serve ERL better than the original fare-hike schedule. Meanwhile, the government is compelled to negotiate with ERL or be forced to pay the RM2.9 billion. <br /><br />“Although the fare compensation calculations that were fixed in the concession agreement do not appear to be fair to the government, the attorney-general has advised that the formula that was set in the agreement is binding on the government,” reads the Auditor-General’s 2016 report. “Alterations to the compensation formula can only be done with agreement from both parties,” notes the report. In fairness, ERL was a greenfield project and the first of its kind. <br /><br />The government had to dangle a carrot for the private sector. At the very least, ERL operations have been running relatively smoothly over the years despite the growing financial challenges, which is more than can be said for other public-private partnership projects that needed government bailouts over the years. But if the government hopes to secure a fairer deal going forward, ERL must strike a better balance between commercial viability and government support.<!--SPOILER DIV--></div><!--SPOILER DIV--> kaxe113 The Museum Of Kopitiam Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:11:16 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4133171 hope others who had such experience could identify the caller kaxe113 Reverse Phone Directory Thu, 01 Dec 2016 14:53:58 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4114583 Hi forummers<br />Appreciate your advice on steps to be taken if your car was stolen<br />We have contacted the insurance company and <br />Made police report<br />Car detail waja 2005 make kaxe113 The Fast &amp; The Furious Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:11:38 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4055189 <a href='http://armanautocare.blogspot.my/' target='_blank'>http://armanautocare.blogspot.my/</a><br /><br />come n bump here all hondafag if you have visited this place and tell us about their services<br /><br />Hubungi Kami<br />HEAD QUARTERS (HQ)<br /><br /><br />AR MAN AUTO CARE SDN BHD <br />2S (service &amp; spare part)<br /><br />NO. 41, JLN AWF 3,<br />AMPANG WATERFRONT,<br />68000 AMPANG,<br />SELANGOR.<br /><br /><br />TEL : 03-4280 3086 @ 42801031<br /><br />SERVICE ADVISOR (SA) : 019-6003827 (EN.AZRUL)<br /> 019-6003825 (EN.

However, when the original principal retires, he reveals that he trusts neither Gamby or his scheming, racist, and seemingly sociopathic co-vice principal Lee Russell (Walton Goggins), and so instead outsources the job to a college professor, Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Herbert Gregory). When Gamby&#39;s attempt to get the school faculty to veto the appointment backfires (as Brown quickly makes a positive impression on the staff with her goal-oriented agenda and amicability with students), he conspires with Russell to find some way of ruining Brown&#39;s reputation and instilling him as principal. The show chronicles the schemers&#39; gradual self-destruction as their own biases and unlikable personalities increasingly alienate Brown and the rest of their co-workers.<br /><br />Cast[edit]<br />Danny McBride as Neal Gamby, the divorced vice principal in charge of discipline at North Jackson High.<br />Walton Goggins as Lee Russell,[4] vice principal of curriculum at North Jackson High, a conniving politician who enters into an unholy alliance with Gamby.<br />Kimberly Hebert Gregory as Dr. Belinda Brown, North Jackson High’s “confident and powerful” school principal.[5]<br />Georgia King as Amanda Snodgrass, the idealistic new English teacher at North Jackson High.<br />Sheaun McKinney as Dayshawn, a cafeteria worker whose job positions him near the eye of disciplinary storms.[6]<br />Busy Philipps as Gale Liptrapp, Neal&#39;s ex-wife and Ray Liptrapp&#39;s new bride.<br />Shea Whigham as Ray Liptrapp, the new husband of Gamby&#39;s ex, and frequent target of his hostility — despite being a genuine and supportive guy. kaxe113 Movies &amp; Music Tue, 09 Aug 2016 12:09:27 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4020800 <a href='https://torrentfreak.com/europe-has-the-highest-online-piracy-rates-by-far-160801/' target='_blank'>https://torrentfreak.com/europe-has-the-hig...-by-far-160801/</a><br /><br /> kaxe113 The Museum Of Kopitiam Thu, 04 Aug 2016 09:46:14 +0800
