Peniaga Myanmar tunjuk belang

SELAYANG: Walaupun baru diserbu lima hari lalu, peniaga haram warga Myanmar
yang menjajah Pasar Borong Selayang di sini, kembali 'garang'
apabila mengacukan pisau ke arah seorang pemandu kereta yang tidak
sengaja melanggar barang jualan mereka.
Dalam kejadian jam 8.30 pagi semalam, seorang peniaga Myanmar dikatakan
menunjukkan pisau pemotong sayur kepada seorang kerani sebuah syarikat
pencetakan yang ketika itu melalui kawasan tepi pasar borong untuk
menuju tempat kerja.
Mangsa yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Faridah, 25, berkata ketika itu
dia memandu Perodua Kancil cuba melepasi kawasan pasar berkenaan yang
sesak dengan peniaga terbabit di bahu jalan.
Menurutnya, dia tidak sengaja terlanggar bakul jualan milik peniaga
terbabit menyebabkan ia terbalik.
'Saya tidak sengaja, namun lelaki Myanmar berusia 30-an itu mengetuk
cermin tingkap saya sambil menunjukkan pisau.
'Tindakannya benar-benar memeranjatkan saya kerana kesalahan itu
berpunca daripada tindakan mereka sendiri yang menghadang laluan jalan
dengan meletakkan pelbagai jenis sayur di bahu jalan sehingga
menyebabkan jalan raya sesak,' katanya.
Menurutnya, dia bernasib baik kerana pantas beredar dari kawasan itu
walaupun cermin keretanya diketuk.
Sementara itu, seorang peniaga tempatan yang hanya ingin dikenali
sebagai Bakri, 41, bimbang dengan kemunculan kumpulan peniaga samseng
warga Myanmar itu yang terus bermaharajalela walaupun operasi
besar-besaran sudah dilakukan minggu lalu.
Menurutnya, dalam operasi malam Sabtu lalu, lebih 500 warga Myanmar yang
tidak mempunyai dokumen perjalanan sah diberkas Rela dan Jabatan
Imigresen.
'Namun, saya pelik bagaimana bilangan mereka langsung tidak menunjukkan
tanda berkurangan, malah semakin berani berniaga secara terbuka,'
katanya.
Bakri berkata, kehadiran pendatang asing itu turut mengakibatkan
kesesakan lalu lintas kerana mereka menghalang kenderaan keluar masuk
dengan meletakkan barang jualan di atas jalan dengan beralaskan raga dan
plastik nipis.
'Apa yang saya nampak, mereka (peniaga Myanmar ) gemar mengutip
sayur-sayuran dari tong sampah sebelum dijual semula kepada orang
ramai,' katanya.
Malah, lebih memburukkan keadaan, kebanyakan pelanggan di kalangan
penduduk tempatan yang tidak mengetahui taktik licik peniaga terbabit.
Biasanya warga Myanmar terbabit mengutip sayuran terbuang itu seawal jam
3 pagi dan dilakukan secara berkumpulan untuk memudahkan operasi mereka.
'Sambutan daripada masyarakat tempatan amat menggalakkan kerana mereka
biasanya mula menjalankan perniagaan selepas pasar ditutup,' katanya.
Sementara itu tinjauan Harian Metro di pasar berkenaan mendapati peniaga
terbabit menggeledah sampah-sarap dilonggokkan dalam tong sampah bagi
mencari sayuran yang boleh dijual.
Selepas puas hati dengan hasil yang diperoleh, mereka kemudian membawa
sayur-sayuran terbuang itu ke kawasan tersorok untuk dibersihkan sebelum
dijual.
Sementara itu, Yang Dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS), Zainal
Abidin Azim, ketika diminta mengulas perkara itu berkata, dalam beberapa
siri pemeriksaan dan serbuan, peniaga terbabit segera melarikan diri
sehingga sanggup meninggalkan barang jualan mereka.
'Peniaga haram Myanmar itu tidak mementingkan barangan jualan mereka
kerana ia diperoleh secara percuma (dari tong sampah), malah kerugian
yang ditanggung juga sifar,' katanya.
Menurutnya, kumpulan terbabit juga sering bergaduh sesama sendiri kerana
berebut tapak jualan yang terhad di bahu jalan sempit yang sentiasa
sibuk dengan kenderaan lalu lalang,' katanya.

Why the hell we keep buying things from these immigrants???

So,..the conclusions that we can get from of the email are:

1) Malaysian really love to buy 'cheap' things and we wont really bother to check 'why it is cheap'?.

2) Malaysian are being soo nice to these ungrateful immigrants that they can kick our back .

3) Malaysian Law and Regulations Enforcement are just a laughing stock to these despicable immigrants.

4) Malaysian Municipal Councils (In this case, Selayang Municipal Councils) only know how to act and oppresed fellow Malaysian but they don't have the balls to take action on these immigrants.Or maybe they just being corrupted...llike always..

Any other conclusions?..please add on..

well..

That Bloody Malaysian!!!.(kena tipu maa..)

" Bangau Oh Bangau"

I carpool with my officemates to work but KTM Komuter is also part of my mode of transportation. The rendezvous point is at Padang Jawa KTM Station and today,this morning while waiting for the train, a bilingual announcement was on the air which sounds sort of like this:

" Selamat pagi tuan-tuan dan puan-puan.Disebabkan masalah teknikal, tren komuter ke Pelabuhan Klang akan mengalami kelewatan. Harap maaf.."

( Good morning, ladies and gentleman. Train to Port Klang will be delayed because of technical problem.Our apology)

Wa lau weh!! the KTM Komuter is late ,again. Not surprised but kinda pissed off like always.

So, this frenzy over KTM lateness always makes me soo gatal (ithcy) to smoke (Yeah, instead of reading) . Since waiting for KTM Komuter can be a stressful and 'heavy' task , i guess it wont hurt to smoke because you can even finish the whole pack if you are waiting for their service . So, i move a bit to the edge and without any much concern , i lit up one fine Marlboro. Just after a poof, i heard someone greeted me with Selamat Pagi at the back. It was one of the station crew ,with KTM's blue uniform.

" Encik, maaf,..Sini tak boleh merokok.Satu stesen tak boleh . Kami dah letak papantanda tu"

(Sorry, Mister,..smoking is not allowed here. Not allowed at this station. We already put the signboard)

and all i can say was," oh..um...ok..sorry bang, sorry.." and nervously butting out the cigarette in the bin. He just smiled and went back to the office or the control centre ( i think) and 45 minutes after that, that famous bilingual announcement was in the air again: ( which is not really exactly sounds like below)

" Selamat Pagi tuan-tuan dan puan-puan yang dihormati sekalian. Tren ke Pelabuhan Klang akan tiba sebentar lagi. Para penumpang diminta menjaga keselamatan barangan anda dan berhati-hati dengan penyeluk saku. kami juga minta bekerjasama dari anda untuk tidak merokok di kawasan stesen dan juga di dalam tren. Terima Kasih"

(Good Morning ladies and gentlemen. Train to Pelabuhan Klang will be arriving shortly. Please take care of your belongings and becareful of pickpockets. We also ask for your cooperation for not smoking in the station area and also inside the train.Thank you.)

I am sure the last part of the announcement was meant for me because i rarely (never!) heard the no-smoking announce before this at the station. padan muka aku!!

"..They are soo quick and soo fast to caught me smoking but yet still soo slow in the service!!!" i yelled,but in my head only la..

Anyway , that's not the real issue. I just want to have the excuse for myself smoking in public and point the blame to KTM. If the train can arrive early, i wont smoke at the station. Just like Malaysian politician will do and just like the old malay folk songs " Bangau Oh Bangau" where everyone blame others for own failures.

The real issue here is , how i couldn't see that big 'NO SMOKING' Signboard on the wall as a real warning for not-to-smoke in that station? or maybe i was soo adapted to Malaysian's culture of 'tak kisah' (dont care) even we can see a big signboard said 'No Smoking' or 'No Litter'??

That Bloody Malaysian!!!

Procastination

OK..I got a confession to make. I am a lazy SOB . To restart and reactivate this blog is like having a constipation problem. It took me months just to log in again. I don't know why but somehow, somewhere, i got drifted by my own excuses (lotsa them!)

well, yeah..i got this really bad procastination problem and maybe i need to seek for professional help .Or maybe, it is just another Malaysian thingy: It is " tak apa" to procastinate everything until the last minutes.

So,..if procastination really a Malaysian thingy, should this bother me??

i don't think so.. .

It deserves a celebration actually.

If you are so rajin ( hardworking?) to read all that , you can get the whole thing here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_citizenship

I got the info from wikipedia. From the NET..( can you believe that?)

My own definitions of Malaysian are :-

"..an inhabitant of a country called Malaysia ,whose life and routine are dictated by FOOD.."

Anyway, this blog is about us, The Malaysian ,and it'll talk about some 'famous attitudes' of Malaysian .Im not a perfect Malaysian either and i have tonnes or perhaps dozens of 'really bad' and 'not-so-nice' attitudes myself. Anyway, maybe it's not suitable for all coz i assumed that not all of us have sense of humour .

For me , it's time to laugh at ourselves. To see that our own silliness is the best real life comedy.

But for some , it'll going to be nasty.
