Oily business in Malaysia (TMnut bashing)

Referring to my old blog post,(March 4th 2006) we can see that oil prices back then increased.
Now look at their excuses. Yes, I've mentioned it then but I would like to remind myself and everyone else how they run the country like they're reading off a manual.

"We suggest the nation to bear with this and spend wisely" - Someone from the higher ups
"....we suggest usage of public transportations"

Sounds familiar? Yeap.... that's what they said this year after the price increased early June 2008.

Well, similarities with TMnut's customer service indeed. After all... TMnut used to be controlled under the government.


I also mentioned,
Let's say this goes on for 5 years~ our KL skies will still be covered in grey smoke. Probably worse (darkish grey). Why?There are no cars~ and the taxi service probably went out of bussiness.

Busses. Apparently thanks to the promotion of public transportations, the whole of KL is jammed with busses in every corner. Bus drivers fighting around like how the taxi drivers we know today.

Not only that~ we know that busses create more pollution than cars~ Thus explains why they air isnt getting any cleaner than it is now~

So~ kudos! We have more busses in the future and in the end~ bus prices will increase and people will have to start using bicycles all over again.

Right. Current conditions of Malaysia's public transportation hasn't changed abit. More people (yea Ive said it 2 years ago and I shall say it again), are using public transportations. More people are complaining. For crying out loud! If you're gonna increase oil prices, you should've expected people will opt to use public transportations for a cheaper alternative to save money.

Another situation that reminds me of TMnut. Screamyx lagging, screamyx's bandwidth being used up by users. DAMN, if you promise us 1mbps broadband and expect about 100,000 people to sign up, at least ensure that there's enough bandwidth to hold up to 120,000.

Also, after many complaints, what do they do? Throttle us. Yea. Thanks a lot TMnut. If the government follows, I predict in the near future, the prices for public transportation will increase (much like how tolls were put up almost EVERYWHERE to reduce cars on the road).

A few years ago, the government sponsored about RM1.6BILLION to upgrade TMnut's internet services. Now, no update.
Last month, the SAME news was published with the same amount. I find this wierd. I shall leave all speculations to whoever who may read this.

Oh, by the way. I have to mention that I did a research(with a report) about this issue in Malaysia recently(TMnut's throttling) .

I can't wait til an ideal Malaysia is born without all these troubles..... 2020? Not at the rate we're going.....
