Be aware of snacks sold in Malaysian food outlets

Becareful when purchasing snacks sold in Malaysain outlets. Many of them are already rotten and they are not fit for human consumption. They also have dubious tade marks and many do not have labelling in them. Whether in Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Melaka, JB. Ipoh, Penang, Kuantan, Trengganu or Kota Baru, one has to be cautious when purchasing. Do not be taken up by the sampling. Sampling products are meant to deceive the buyer who does not know the actual contents of the snacks he or she is purchasing whcih could be way past the expiry date. The contents cannot be trusted too as they could be made of substances which again may be banned by the authorities or contain materials that mnay cause harm to the human body. The best is make to order or buy from reliable and credible sources or outlets and we can always go back to them if the snacks are substandard.

Mamak stalls and Food Poisoning

It is common to get food poisoning especially after eating at mamak stalls. Not that other outlets are safe either. You can get food poisoning even at our western fast food outlets. But many of us do not complain because it is the Malaysian way. There is one reknown/famous/wellknown Indian outlet in Sentul suppose to be famous for fish head. In this outlet was found rubber band in their crab curry in one of our visits. On bringing to the attention of the ownner who we hapopen to be friendly, we just got a simple sorry. If it was in the West or Down Under the health or municipal authorities would have closed the restaurant even if there was a single fly in the restaurant. But alas in Malaysia we dine with the rats, chichaks, cockroaches, dogs and cats running all over the place much to the amusement of locals and foreigners and many microorganisms like e coli and staphylococcus (found in the human gut and respiratory system) which we injest together with our food as we are not able to notice with our naked eyes. We have somehow learned to live with this Malaysian way.

The price in Stevens corner is hiking up and the so called mamak stall should stop increasing their price.

price cut throat in stevens corner

I would like to complain on the poor service and the hiking price in Steven's Corner Setapak.Once,I went there to have lunch.I used to got there.I took vegetarian mix rice and they charged me rm14.When I clarify this issue,the lady was not able to explain on the high price.She kept claiming i asked for banana leave which I didn't.Even when I assured her that all this while the price was not that much when I used to eat there,she said i was wrong.In the end,she made me pay that much and i am very angry for that issue.All my other friends also complained on the price and we feel that,for a mamak shop,the price there is so high and they should be responsible on the customer's complaint.

Thank you

Assisting needy Indians through NGOs

There are out there many Indian based NGOs While the politicians are doing their part in assisting the Indians whatever their intentions, many Indian based NGOs have been doing a good job to uplift the downtrodden Indians. Let us give them a helping hand. Many Indians will donate willingly without question to temples. Well and good. We need temples and religions as they are important to built good moral values too and temple grounds too can be a centre for educationl and social activites like churches. May be some of these donations can go to the NGOs who earnestly do their bit in uplifting the Indians. There are many NGOs who do activities in Tamil schools. In the urban areas school children will pay a hefty amount for tution fees. Tamil school children cannot afford them. What these NGOs need are funds to buy computers for Tamil schools, school revision books, exercise books and other learning aids. In addition we request the headmasters (not all) to cooperate with the NGOs for the good cause. Some cooperate well. Thanks to them. Teachers too should be forthcoming in working together with the NGOs and together we can see the progress of Tamil school chilfdren. Today Tamil school children with 5As is common. Indian professionals can also give their valuable time in terms of giving free tuition and taking the students on educational tours by tying up with the NGOs. We must stand up and give dignity to the Indians and self esteem to the studenst so that we can be at par with the others races in Malaysia.

Now no fly to London, Paris, New Delhi and Mumbai

And Sydney here we come. Well thanks for flying to Sydney. Soon prices of food items will go up inflight in keeping up with the times. Fuel charges, exhorbitant airport charges, baggage charges and the latest check in charges to be followed soon by verification charges, umbrella charges, reading inflight magazine charges, smiling at you charges (it costs money to smile especially during delays when they stop smiling), Astro charges at the airport waiting area, seat charges at the waiting area ( the normal airlines charge for their massage chairs), usage of the lap top, charging your phone and the lap top, charging for every enquiry about delays ( delays are seldom announced on time anyway, so if personally informed about delay there should be a charge, personal touch you see. Probably the most innovative and creative airline in charging customers. Should get an award for it. What else are they going to charge. Lets wait and see.
