Old Man got beaten up by Steven's Corner Owner

This is a true incident, not making up story.

I'm going to translate to you what the victim family's member said.

Old man who is turning 70.

Steven's Corner in Overseas Union Garden (OUG) Old Klang Road (click for location) is just beside our warehouse. Every evening, they (refers to Steven's Corner) will arranged 3 tables and chairs in front of our warehouse. We (refers to the victim's family) told them before that we are not closed yet, they are obstructing our loading and unloading works. But they ignore us. Sometimes, we have to ask for their permission before we remove their tables and chairs. 

Around 8pm last night (refers to the night that incident happened), my father-in-law (the old man) wanted to load some inventories like usual. And as usual, tables and chairs were put at the front of the warehouse, and there were diners occupied the seats. My father-in-law asked these diners to switch to other tables, so that he can load the inventories. 

However, Steven's Corner "Big Boss" saw this and approached my father-in-law, questioned the old man why he removed these tables and chairs. My father-in-law took 3 punches unable to defend himself. The workers along with the old man immediately informed Say Kek (refers to the writer's husband, I guess..) and my brother-in-law.

Upon their arrival, they saw their father fallen on ground. How can an old man ages 60 somethings can endure the impact of the punches? The hooligan (refers to Steven's Corner owner) threatened to kill them, with a cleaver (kitchen knife) holding in his hand. Luckily people who work in Steven's Corner held the hooligan back before anything worse could happen. 

A Chinese man with spectacles arrived and said:"I'm the one who look after this place, what are you doing here!?" Haha, could you believe that even a mamak stall needs protection! The Big Boss Hooligan (it's written here, I just translate) warned us, they would not be imitated or scared even if we call police, but we have to be careful, maybe he will burn down our shop. What the world has become? Has the road become Jalan Steven's Corner?!

Police and YB Teresa Kok arrived shortly. Kok was informed with the story, my father-in-law was sent to Hospital Universiti Malaya while the attacker (Steven's Corner owner) was detained. Kok left her subordinate with us and went to a meeting herself. The police on duty did not leave, maybe they were expecting media and press, otherwise they must be long gone. I reckon if Kok was not there, the police will most probably let the hooligan go. Steven's Corner is installed with CCTV, the police can check the video recorded for the whole incident, but they did not do so.

On the other hand, my father-in-law arrived in UMMC (University Malaya Medical Centre) around 9pm, and finished his body checkup around 1pm. I have to "salute" the hospital for its efficiency! After the body checkup, we went to police station to lodge report. The Chinese man with spec was already there. I felt happy for a second because I really thought the hooligan was detained. We realized that the four-eyes (refers to the Chinese man with spec) knows the polices on duty very well. 

While my father-in-law was lodging report, we discovered that the hooligan was in a waiting room! I thought he was supposed to be in "lokup"? Why he was sitting there like nothing happened? The waiting room has air-con, tv, sofa.. and he can still make phone calls! What is wrong with this world?!

Steve's Corner boss was using his cellphone during his detention. 

The police officer asked my father-in-law to go into the waiting room. It turned out to be our judicious police asked my old and beaten up father-in-law to agree on a conciliation! What the hell! Is money really everything? Is there not more justice? Being attacked and we should act like nothing has happened? My father-in-law of cause left the room without second thought. 

Today, YB Teresa Kok arranged a press conference, urging the police force to not connive violence, and demanding for justice, hoping someone can stop this criminal from becoming worse. My father-in-law is a highly respected person in OUG! He is not only the member of BOD of SJK(C) Yoke Nam, he also owes a ceramic business, and actively participating in social activities. 

The news will be on newspaper for tonight and tomorrow. I hope we can all unite and boycott Steven's Corner!!!

Steven's Corner, we have the right to say "No" to these kind of unethical people by rejecting their business.

How to be Liked by Everyone?

People want to be liked naturally. We don't have to be popular, but certainly want to be accepted as part of groups.

There are millions of people asking the same question.

Is it possible to be like by everyone?

I would say yes, but apparently it's tougher than Mission Impossible. There are people who just dislike us and what we do, like not everyone will be pleased by Transformer 3, some love it but certain people just want to stick with their moronic Taiwanese idol dramas (You can see I hate these idol dramas when I use the adjective of moronic to describe it.)

Sometimes we just have to accept the fact that life doesn't always go the way we want it to. People do make mistake, no one is perfect, and sometimes being prefect is a flaw itself.

It's ok if people misunderstand us, as long as we know that we are not what they think.  If it's possible, find out the reason why people dislike us and improve, but if we think the reason is not valid, just ignore it because some people just cannot give constructive feedback. If we make mistake, don't be shamed to apologize. Some people do hold grudge, we may want to stay away from these people.

My advise: Think of the people that like us instead of focus on the small bunch of people that dislike us.

"Hate" Button on Facebook

I assume all of you know about Facebook and if you have a Facebook account, I assume you know what is a "Like" button. "Like" button is for you to click on it to show that you like something, for example if your slutty net friend updates her relationship status to "Single", you can click on "Like" since she is once again available in your potential-get-laid-prospect list.

I'm sure you liked something on Facebook before, whether it's a status or Nike's Make-You-Freekick-Like-Beckham football boots, maybe McDonald new Dead-Horse-Mixed-Dead-Chicken Burger. So don't tell me you never "Like" before, I'll say BULLSHIT. Just for your information, you can like it on Facebook as well.

Just in case you really don't know

Here comes the question: If we have "Like". Where is the "Hate"? I like a lot of things, and I'm certainly hate or dislike a lot of things as well. I hate when a pretty girl got into a relationship with a big fat ugly fuck, but just when I'm about to show my hatred, I realized there is no fucking "Hate"! 

So I decided to make my own, so that I could hate those emo statuses like 

I'm so lonely, no one understand me or  

Why do you treat me so bad when I love you so much! or this,  

Happy Mother's Day to my mum, I love you forever! 

For fuck sake, your mum is not even on Facebook.

"Hate" Button

If there is a "Hate" button, I will not be surprised if people use it more often than "Like". There are just so much things that I hate.

Nonetheless, do like my page. Simply click on the like button, or you can find me on Facebook.

KTM - Money Sucker!

I wrote about KTM before and I would like to write again, because it only get worse rather than improve.

 old train, old railway, old town, everything is just so fucking old!

I have accepted the facts that KTM's Intercity Shuttle Train Service between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh is slow, noisy, uncomfortable, expensive and dirty. I have also proved that it's online reservation system doesn't work, you can try it if you don't believe, here is the page.

Today, I found out that KTM's customer service's feedback system is not working as well. I tried using different browsers just in case it doesn't support but sadly, it just does not work.I guess it's a way to avoid complaint.

Nonetheless, those mentioned earlier are not really the issue. I can bare with poor customer service, I accept poor punctuality since we are in Malaysia, I take its useless online system as a joke. In fact, I think its website is uglier than my blog.

But this time it has gone way too far. It has canceled two stops at Sungai Buloh and Kepong Sentral for intercity shuttle train service KL-Ipoh.

I don't understand the why would it canceled the two stops since many people are boarding and even stopping at these stations. I am also one of the victims and I believe the cancellation has affected many other students and passengers. Now we have to stop at Rawang or KL Sentral and buy another ticket to go back to the station that we passed in the shuttle train.

Don't understand what I said? Never mind, see the diagram below.

Now KTM will not stop at Kepong Sentral and Sg.Buloh, which means it can earn more money by making us to buy another ticket to go back to where we want to be. For my case, I'll have to pay another RM1.60 to go back to Kepong from KL Sentral. What a good money-making strategy. But its strategy costs us not only money, but time as well! Now I have to travel an hour longer and earlier!
