Just read the article below through Thestar online.

What say you?

I love they way the author said:

“If I can’t afford the levy, I would rather close my business than to be held ransom by local workers.”

Seems this explains why Crime Rate in Malaysia is so damn high…

I wonder why Malaysian always want high pay salary without working hard. Who taught us to think this way?

Or the owner is too stingy to pay salary?

Look in Malaysia’s history. Face it, face the fact. The whole piece of land is developed by foreigners. We got Indonesian Prince who came toMelaka to develop the Monarchy, then the Chinese arrive for tin mines and develop towns. Later Westerner came in to develop the education system, railways, transportation, postal and all sorts of technology development. This leads to bring in of Indian as worker in agricultural etc.

Presently, Indonesian worker were here to build our houses, Bangladesh workers in manufacturing, as well as Nepalese and Burmese.

Malaysia, we need foreigner, don’t we? We depend on them, whether you like it or not, the fact is true. You can’t hide from history.

If you want to work in your own “land”, you better be more hardworking right now. The world is flat.

Foreign labour a lot better than lazy locals

THE statement by Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam that doubling the levy on foreign workers will discourage their employment and will result in increased salaries for the locals is immature.

I have owned a restaurant for more than 20 years and during this period I have hired both Malaysian and Indonesian staff. The working conditions are the same for both nationalities and it does not matter what position they are in – manager, kitchen staff or waiters.

When we first opened for business, we hired locals. In the beginning, there were not much of a problem but when business began to pick up, my cook began to talk about leaving. It is her way of wanting to renegotiate her pay.

I put up with the “blackmailing” by ignoring it, but by the third time, I paid her her salary and showed her the door. That brought a temporary end to such threats from the others when they realised that I was not going to be held to ransom.

Then, with the influx of Indonesians, we hired them to work alongside with the locals. However, the Indonesians were hard working and had better attitude towards work.

But, when the Government began to make it harder to hire Indonesians, we had no choice but to look to local labour again. It was the mid-1990s boom and we needed the staff.

We found the locals arriving late for work and leaving early – sometimes before even the close of business, leaving the clean-up to be done by the foreign workers.

The locals would come to work unkempt and they sat around smoking cigarettes despite the “no smoking” sign in the restaurant.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian workers would ensure business goes on in the restaurant.

The locals refused to learn anything new because they thought they knew better. They were not happy at being told what to do by a woman – even if she was the manager.

They showed their displeasure by making the food inedible – adding too much salt or chilli.

Local staff are simply unreliable. Perhaps what is most disturbing is their health. The Indonesian workers have to pass a medical examination before they get a work visa. Locals do not.

Just to make sure, we would ask all new foreign workers to go for another medical test before they commenced work at the restaurant. However, this backfired. If he or she failed the test and cannot be hired, we still had to pay the bill which came to a few hundred ringgit.

To be fair, not every local we have hired was a nightmare. However, the dreadful ones we have hired far outnumbered the good ones.

If Dr Subramaniam thinks that raising the levy on foreign workers will lead to more locals being hired in the restauraunt business, he is sorely mistaken. They have poor work ethics and are not worth the trouble. If I can’t afford the levy, I would rather close my business than to be held ransom by local workers.

RESTAURANT OWNER,
Petaling Jaya.

FRIEND Finder, a service provided by telecommunications companies to locate their users’ friends, helped a man find his stolen car in Johor Baru.

Sin Chew Daily reported that the man, identified only as Mr Ye, had used the service as an anti-theft device for over a year.

He kept a phone activated with the service in his Toyota Camry car.

On Sunday, Ye found that his car parked in Permas Jaya was missing at about 9.30pm.

He traced his ‘friend’ in the car and the response showed that the vehicle was in Taman Nusa Bistari 2. “After a three and a half hour search in the housing estate, I recovered my car by the roadside,” he said.

Ye encouraged the public to use this cheap and useful service, saying that his anti-car theft device was only a cellphone that cost less than RM100 ($41) and a pre-paid service card

追蹤位置‧手機“尋友”找回失車
Created 03/05/2009 – 19:44

(柔佛‧新山)小兵立大功!一名車主的轎車失竊,卻靠藏在車內的小小手機,成功在匪徒將車子轉運出去前,找回失車。

竊賊在車尾鑽洞,偷走豐田佳美轎車(Camry)的案件近日頻頻傳。早前就有一名事主的豐田佳美,也在購物商場被竊賊偷走。這名車主在車內暗藏了一台手機,最後通過手機電訊公司所提供的“尋友”搜尋服務(Friend Finder)追蹤到轎車的位置,最後及時尋回失車。

購物廣場內被偷車

這起案件是在新山百萬鎮佳世客購物廣場的停車場內發生。匪徒相信是在3月1日傍晚6時至7時之間,偷走事主的豐田佳美轎車。

事主葉先生受訪時表示,他於當天晚上9時許前往停車場取車時,發現車子失竊。

葉先生表示,當他到中央警署報案時,他告知警方他在車內匿藏了一台手機,警方可用手機電訊公司所提供的“尋友”搜尋服務(Friend Finder)追蹤到失車的位置,進而尋得車子。

查案官不信搜尋結果

葉先生表示在報案期間,曾向查案官出示手機的搜尋結果;但是,有關查案官卻不以為然。

從有關多次搜詢的結果顯示,他失竊的轎車正停放在士姑來順利花園(Tmn Nusa Bestari 2)一帶。

葉先生透露,查案官對手機搜尋服務的結果不以為然,只表示會把此案輸入電腦,警方將派員尋找失車。警方同時也將聯絡士姑來警局,由當地警員派員找車。

他認為,匪徒在偷車後,一定會先把車子停放在偏僻的地方,然後再安排私運出售到國外。

與朋友逐條道路尋找

他說,為了分秒必爭,他當晚10時30分離開中央警署之後,就在朋友的幫助之下,共車到士姑來順和花園一帶,逐條道路尋找失車。

在經過3小時又30分鐘的搜尋時間之後,兩人最後於凌晨2時,在距離努沙再也警局約1公里的順和花園住宅區的路旁找回失車。

在尋回失車之後,葉先生已第一時間向努沙再也警局報案。

他希望通過報章,吁請車主小心提防這些專偷豐田佳美轎車的不法份子,並和車主們分享他如何使用手機搜尋服務找回失車。

專偷豐田佳美
匪黨非常熟悉防盜系統

近日頻偷豐田佳美轎車的這批匪黨,相信非常熟悉這款轎車的防盜系統。

這批竊賊在偷竊豐田佳美轎車時,先向車尾鑽洞,以破壞豐田佳美轎車的位於後車箱內的防盜系統“心臟”。然後,再用器具勾起司機座位內部的開車把手,把車門打開。

據事主葉先生表示,這批幹案的竊賊相當熟悉豐田佳美轎車的防盜系統,只利用一個電鑽就鑽壞位於車尾的防盜系統。

葉先生透露,他找到失車之後,到努沙再也警局報案時,警員提醒他說,車子尾部已被竊賊鑽了個小洞,上面已被貼上一張卡通貼紙。

葉先生說,他是掀開貼紙之後,才看見車尾被鑽了一個小洞。

你知道嗎?

如何利用手機“尋友”搜尋服務?

據葉先生表示,目前國內只有Maxis明訊和Digi兩家電訊公司,提供這類“尋友”搜尋服務。

他指出,民眾只要向電訊公司輸入“ff find 01X-XXX XXXX”或“find 01X-XXX XXXX”到有關電訊公司的總台。手機持有者一旦回覆允許被搜尋之後,這項尋友搜尋服務就正式啟動。

換句話說,手機用戶可通過這項服務,隨時搜尋另一名手機用戶的所在。不過,這項服務最多只能搜尋到手機的所在花園而已,無法詳細找出目標所在的路名和門牌。

How much blood would you shed to stay alive?

SAW (Movie)

Refer To Article:
Kugan’s death: what the Pathologist discovered
AT: http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/18824/84/

At Kugan’s back there’s a lot of V-shape burned mark…and his death is cause by Rhabdomyolysis.

(Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown (lysis) of skeletal muscle tissue (rhabdomyo) due to injury to muscle tissue. The muscle damage may be caused by physical (e.g. crush injury), chemical, or biological factors. The destruction of the muscle leads to the release of the breakdown products of damaged muscle cells into the bloodstream; some of these, such as myoglobin (a protein), are harmful to the kidney and may lead to acute kidney failure. Treatment is with intravenous fluids, and dialysis or hemofiltration if necessary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis)

It just like the movie SAW, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saw_(film)] where all the victim was brutally suffered from the game and die…

I remember SAW 1, where the man had to cut away his leg to escape. However, he was death because he lost too much of blood; indirect physical torture.

I wonder how Kugan can end up in such torture inside a police station. Did the police told him: “Kugan, I want to play a game with you…”

Who’s the Jigsaw Killer anyway? Police? Politician?…

I wonder…I better stop writing or else Jigsaw will come and hunt me, or maybe you.

Beware.

Ok ok, a wife saves the abducted husband. She did her own detective work…

If I’m head /chief /captain of PDRM, I certainly will employ her for crime investigation.

Wife saves abducted husband By Brenda Lim 2009/03/02

IPOH: A teacher did her own detective work which led to the rescue of her husband who had been abducted and assaulted for more than 26 hours. V. Kamala searched for her husband after police brushed aside her complaint and put her husband’s disappearance down to a domestic dispute. Police allegedly told her to come back later to lodge a missing person’s report as it had not been 24 hours since he disappeared. It was learnt that her husband, R. Chandran, 39, an executive with a manufacturing company, had been abducted after making a withdrawal at an ATM. He was taken to a house where he was beaten up while his abductors made plans to demand a RM50,000 ransom. The drama started at 11.30pm on Feb 14 when Chandran went to an ATM in Bercham to withdraw RM200. As he was walking towards his vehicle, two men in their early 20s confronted him, he told reporters after his rescue. One of them hit Chandran on the head and pushed him into the back of his Kia Sportage before the other man drove off. Kamala, meanwhile, waited for him. When he did not show up the following morning, she started looking for him. At 6.30pm, she went to the Tambun police station where she was told to come back later. Undeterred, the 38-year-old woman went back four hours later, this time with photographs of her husband. She then lodged the missing person’s report. Accompanied by a neighbour, Kamala scoured the city, checking hospitals and her husband’s usual hangouts. At almost midnight on Feb 15, Kamala spotted her husband’s car, with a few youths in it, and followed it until one of the passengers got off at a house in Persiaran Bercham Selatan 47. While Kamala was trying to contact the police, a mobile patrol unit drove by and she told them what had happened. The policemen went into the house and found it was occupied by college students. They confronted the youth who had been dropped off there earlier. The youth took the police and Kamala to a house in Taman Tasek Jaya, where Chandran was found. He was bloodied from the beatings but was still able to talk. There was no one else there. Chandran’s vehicle was later found abandoned at Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh. The New Straits Times caught up with Chandran at his house and he related what happened. “They took turns to beat me. I was kicked in the face and punched. They threatened to kill me. “I begged them to let me go, since they promised they would if I gave them what they wanted.” Chandran was hospitalised for six days but is still undergoing physiotherapy as his hands have limited function due to nerve damage. © Copyright 2009 The New Straits Times Press (M) Berhad.
