This is how TM Manager works at 1500 in the afternoon.

Me: “I’ve Emailed you to request for a meeting tomorrow morning at 11am”

Him: “Sorry Mr. Wong. I am outside right now. I’ll be back in the office later in the evening. I may have other meeting tomorrow morning. Let me get back to you before 4pm. ”

Time stamp: 15:18

Will check back at 1600 to update whether this geek manager who is sitting in some kopitiam chatting with some Malay lady on something of “biru” and “kuning” right now can do something. ** from the background noise of the phone calls there are someone ordering Teh C Peng **

** Update Its now 9am the next day and there is no reply from this manager. Instead, one of his girl has been calling me to check on the change of the DSLAM performance on and off.

Phone call received after 10am. Meeting to confirm next week. I will invite the press.

This ip is gonna burst. Maybe some technician or engineers from TM will look into this and fix the bloody problem before half of Sarawak is put into a Streamyx blackout.

Since I’m having my regular dosage of diarrhoea tonight, as I sat in the lou and play with google search engines on my handphone, I’ve decided to search for the cost of bridges in Malaysia.

Taking the same period of 2004, I manage to find out that cost of bridges in Malaysia is at least for 125M in length is a daunting RM 2.45 Million; RM 19,600.00 per meter run (pedestrial bridge only) whereas in USA, its around USD 332,000 which is around RM 1.27 Million; RM 8,945 per meter run (double lane carriageway)

I start to wonder why it cost twice as much here to build one? May be the new ACA should look into bridge construction and compare it to country say Vietnam or Cambodia where the skills is less locally and material to construct is not available locally in the country. As far as Malaysia is concerned, All the material is available at cost locally.

During some talks with some prominent figures, it hits me to think what if Malaysia is lead by a Chinese or Indian leader? I am not a racist or anything. I am just thinking of the fact as shown when one Malay prominent political figure (from UMNO) ask me that question recently during a discussion at a resort.

If Malaysia is lead by a Chinese leader, we could be much better off than now. Lets compare the two places in contrast; the fact has proven that a chinese leader will achieved more than the malay. We can see any states that is lead by Chinese is much better off till late. Take Singapore for instance, eventhough its a small island, it grow to the extreme and the income for the people there is much better than those of Sarawak. Both Sarawak and Singapore join Malaysia at the same time. Eventhough there was the promise of development by the federal, we can see a slow grow. As for Singapore, it has grown into a metropolis and come on, lets face it, Its much developed than Sarawak. Maybe you would say that Sarawak has a vast land and so on, wealth facts that link to vast land are the products and Singapore only baton in hands is trading.

Thinking….

Checking on the web site I have found out that All Sabahan under the telephone area code 088 and 089 are unable to key in their contact number completely. And if your age is above 85, you cannot write.

All fields are checked and I doubt that the system will actually send the response to PM himself. All posting are not transparent and there doesn’t seems to be a listing of what has been posted to the site. I would think that most of the posting would be some sort of scorn against the PM.

If a web site is endorsed by so many people, and department, why has it been such a simple page and the site has absolutely no essence whatsoever?!? Can the public see the complete listing of the ‘warkah’ posted? Was there a database or was that just a flat file that is evergrowing everyday?

I have here one Room voucher for a superior room with breakfast for one day stay in Imperial hotel, Miri, up for offer. Interested, Please call 019-8886577 to arrange for the voucher. Qty: 1.

My wife other half has lost something precious recently. I hoped she will recover and be strong.
