Mat Rempits rule Malaysian Roads

Mat Rempits rule Malaysian Roads

It is so sad to acknowledge that those Mat Rempits rule Malaysian Roads without any fear for the police. Why? Only recently I found out after chatting with few friends of mine, Mat Rempits are fearless and have no respect for anyone. They are high on drugs.

But who are they and why do they behave like that? They are a group of restless youth and their background are NOT of those uneducated people. Some are executives, son of successful businessmen, son of Datuks and many son of policeman. I recall an incident when the father caughta Mat Rempit, happened to be his son and he let him go (with disappointment I hope).
We always read that after a night of operations, the police will confiscate the bikes, but after the "you know what transaction happen" those Mat Rempits are on the roads again endangering others. Can the authority be firm enough to take the bike away for goods? No Bike, No Mat Rempit.

All major cities in Malaysia are no longer safe. Sorry, Kuala Lumpur's safety is far worst than Jakarta or Manila. Mat Rempit should be put into jail, cancel their license and take away their bikes... for good.

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

This is a Message received from a friend: I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.

One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE. If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low,middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

WARNING! Crimes Expected to Increase after sharp Fuel Hike

While the sharp fuel hike has serious economical implications, I think we should all be even more alert now because I expect crimes to increase rapidly.

[1] You can expect more Mat Rempits to go about robbing the public because these individuals do not earn much from fixed jobs , and with the sharp fuel hike causing inevitable price increase in all goods, Mat Rempits will definitely need more cash for the various expenditures!

[2] Expect more house break-ins and robberies. Expect an increase in snatch-bag cases. Expect more thefts and robberies on public transports.

[3] I'm not sure if this is going to increase rape cases, but I believe some individuals who doesn't have money for other form of entertainments will start finding other things to do, crimes included - so to all the girls and women out there, please be even more alert to prevent possible rape cases.

[4] As more people turn to Ah Longs for borrowings, an increase in payment defaults will definitely occur as the borrowers find it harder to pay the Ah Longs back. So to Dato Michael Chong of MCA, I think you're going to need more assistants. You might also want to consider shifting your office to The Star's office so that the reporters need not waste time goin to your office since it's going to be a daily affair publicising Ah Long cases soon.

[5] Expect foreign criminals to get even more violent coz whether they are foreign or local, they also need more money to spend. And when they find their crime takings dropping severely, it is the innocent victims who are going to feel the full brunt of their wrath.

[6] Social ills and vice is going to increase rapidly. Chinese Dragon Ladies can expect more competition from local women ( and guys ). So to all the parents, better watch out what your daughters ( or sons ) are doing coz if you're not giving them more pocket money, they are going to get it via other means if they need to spend the money badly.

Paying real price for fuel, but not real price for Cars

Paying real price for fuel, but not real price for Cars

I welcome the move to reduce the subsidy on petrol, though understanding that we malaysians have to suffer as a result of the hike.
Now, my point is "Are we paying the real price for cars?" Especially imported Cars?
I do urge Government to reduce taxes on cars with lower fuel comsumption and carbon emission. Toyota and Honda have been doing great with it. Why not allow their hybrid cars to be imported at a cheaper price?
I "have confidence" that proton won't be affected as mentioned by our deputy Prime that they can compete locally and globally. Let's prove it

Why Malaysian Super League does not attract audience

Why Malaysian Super League does not attract audience

FAM officials and State FAs are always wondering why our MSL is not attracting audience while EPL drives football fans crazy.

If you look at the successful leagues - EPL, Italian Seria A, Spanish Primera Liga, German Bundeslige and Japanese J-League, they all have 2 factors in common - strong and far-sighted football administration set-up and very successful national football teams which has made impact either at the World Cup or Olympics.

When you have stars from a successful national team playing in your own league, fans will be interested to see how to perform for club sides. When you have foreign stars from successful national teams playing in your league, you know ESPN will pay you big bucks just to telecast your league matches live to the world.

Malaysia on the other hand is trying to "advertise" its league with unknowns who are struggling to beat even South East Asian minnows, and FAM is wondering why many fans prefer the EPL to the MSL.

Get your equations right - build a successful national team that at least qualify for a major tournament and the fans will start watching the local league - no need for fancy names and all.
