To my surprise, the notice date is 15th, and mentioned that if i still not going to pay the bill, water will be disconnected on 25th, and guess what, i received that notice on 25th! wtf :| Same as TM, they will send you a reminder even you only owe them rm20, and asking you to clear the bill else they will temporarily disconnect your internet access and +RM10 for reconnection fee. Now wtf i want to make full payment to them as their service not even up to par? yet their so called customers support make me vomit blood!

My total outstanding amount was RM42. and they charge me RM50 to reconnect. What I discovered after checking with friends with similar shocking experiences, is a common factor whereby syabas would deliberately skip a month to deposit the bill into your letter box. On the 2nd month, they would deliberately drop off the bill a few days late into your letter box.the next day, they come to disconnect your water supply claiming that you have not settled your bill for 2 months. When we try to argue that we were not given enough notice, their answer is simple, we had 2 months notice. TNB is worse. They have sub-contractors to do the job, each disconnection they do is RM30. You can imagine how they go crazy disconnecting as many units as they can manage, by the way, they work late too, coming to reconnect for you even till midnite. Remember the DBKL days when they have subcontractors happily towing away your cars. I had been a victim too. My total outstanding amount was RM42. and they charge me RM50 to reconnect.

To those who hero-worshipped him, God bless you!!! I don't think that there is anywhere else in the whole UNIVERSAL you can come across such acts which enslaved its population for so long and then told its people the contracts are under ISA!!!! If you trace the history of the written world, you can't find an equivalent anywhere. Malaysians being what we are, BOLEH!! Come the next round of fuel price increase, try competing with our neighbours just on logistics cost. Thais may pay higher diesel cost, but they don't have to pay for TOLL which, currently is as high as the toll for the goods transporters. Looking around at even the ASEAN region, we may find ourselves competing with Cambodia, Laos and MYanmar soon.

What supposed to be 'assisted in providing' to Malaysian by the government have been 'taken advantage by'. These poor families are common wage earners that government have not look into their welfare, but have bee nasking them not to seek higher salaries to keep the job market still prospective for FDI. In another hand, cost of goods especially those basic daily foods have gone up so much, what are the government going to do about that? Now, government asked common wage earners not to spend unless really in need. Just tell me, how can one family unit strive through their daily basic needs here in Klang Valley ?
