Updated: Spammed by Malaysian Prime Minister

Update: The reply from Customer Service

Appreciate your respond.
If Government owns Maxis, then quite surely Maxis did not do wrong. The fact that Maxis is a public listed company should distint itself and ensure total data privacy considerations.
If the government requires certain action, they can go to the court to obtain an injuction on why such action should be done. It is certaintly is not a practice in Malaysia yet for that kind of genuine respect to be given to customers.
I insist that this issue be escalated to your management that UNLESS it is a grave situation of imminent danger, such a service should not be allowed to be used at the whims and fancies. MCMC does not have power to order compliance and they should stick to their role.

Also, it does not absolve the way your customer service is discharging Maxis from its responsibility. In short, i am not happy with your solution nor the lack of apology.

Yes! Got sms from 'old friend' Najib. How did the Prime Minister of Malaysia got my phone number?


Called Maxis to their customer service (123) and they say that it's an external provider who generated phone number on random. I was assured that no such thing would come from Maxis and they would block that number.

Then, their customer service called back that 62002 is unregistered and they cannot detect in their system. So, how does government got hold of my phone number and how do they access Maxis network? I am totally unhappy that a third party provider is able to access the network and are able to obtain my phone number. The person said that he will investigate and call back.

I then got a sms to give feedback on their customer service. Noticed that the number is 20002. The spam came from 62002 and the customer service is from 20002. Hemm....

From their explanation, they seemed unconcerned. By now, I have got information that the same message is spammed by the other 2 Malaysian Telco provider - Digi and Celcom. And later in the day, even Citibank in Malaysia got into the act of misusing access to customer data to send unsolicited, unnecessary sms to its user.

Does Maxis, Celcom , Digi and Citibank protect the privacy of their customers?

Does Maxis, Celcom , Digi and Citibank have the concern of their customers at heart?

At least DIGI customer service is upfront that the government of Najib Razak through MCMC forced them to broadcast this. FORCED! What is a regulator like MCMC forcing telecommunication companies to propagate ?

A webchat between my friend and Digi customer service with a transparent description of what it is .. a forced spam.

Malaysia is becoming more like Tunisia and Egypt by the systemic abuse of power by the government. And the businesses are just too happy to make the government happy by forsaking the rights of their customers.

Maxis , utterly disappointed by your lies and pretence. No apologies so far even when I said that i want explanation from higher management. I am keen to review my 12 year relationship with you Mr Maxis because you have betrayed the trust.





MAXIS lied!

Our Loving Prime Minister Najib

PM shocked by Ah Long cruelty (and image from thestar)

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is shocked and appalled at the level of cruelty loan sharks inflict on defaulters and wants authorities to take action against the culprits.

The Prime Minister said he could not believe how inhumane some Ah Longs could be against those who fail to settle their debts.

“I’m truly shocked with what the media had reported. Authorities must take swift action.
Treated like animals: Two of the loan shark victims awaiting rescue in a cell during a police raid at a shoplot in Taman Perindustrian Bukit Serdang, Seri Kembangan, in a May 27 file photo. — Bernama

“This is a lesson for all Malaysians. I hope they realise the danger and negative implications of borrowing money from loan sharks. The public should never take loans from them,” he told reporters yesterday.

The Prime Minister was commenting on media reports of three men who were rescued by the police after being held captive for two months by loan sharks when they failed to settle their debts.

The victims, aged 25, 34 and 49 years, were abducted from Segambut, Semenyih and Gombak and were held in a shoplot in Seri Kembangan after failing to settle their debts of between RM1,500 and RM4,000 each.

They were found chained by their necks and legs and showed signs of having beaten by their captors.

This article really caught my attention. Yes, it is intended to be spinned that the PM Najib is very concerned about his people. But too bad the press people can't spin his words.

“This is a lesson for all Malaysians. I hope they realise the danger and negative implications of borrowing money from loan sharks. The public should never take loans from them,”

In short, its your own fault citizens! Who asked you to borrow money from loan sharks?

Just because it is hard to get loan from the banks, ah long stickers & business are legalized, the escalation of cost of living and doing business, the failure of court to adequately remediate non payment of service/goods suits, the lack of social net for the poor, the decrease of the access to healthcare for the poor, turning blind eye on illegal gambling activities .... why did you need to turn to Ah Long?

He did not even talk about why the police did not catch this actvity earlier. Why are the police asked to go to Perak and all the different places to catch civil societies and opposition?

The logic of our PM is that if the people are caught ( and obviously go missing, in which police reports were made) and put into a non-makeshift jail ( note the toilet facility that is included) , it is the fault of those people to borrow the money. Padan Muka.

Update: Sime Darby promises to fulfil its obligation in IJN

Reads like another PR exercise for Sime Darby. Read the artcle and one will not find comfort in the word of the chairman.Already, you can sense the impending doom to IJN.

Talking about synergizing between SJMC and IJN. SJMC is known to be profit oriented and their track record in social responsibility is abysmal. There are even incidences of SJMC refusing patients and emergency cases.

The rakyat would be a fool to think that it will happen. Both Gov and Sime Darby would claim moral victory by saying that the rates will be the same. BUT, the proportion will be much smaller. So, full payer would cover more % than the poor paymaster. Pay poormaster will be given a small ward, unless they upgrade. lalala .

Sime Darby needs to hands off IJN!

Gov't gives green light to IJN privatisation

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today said that the government has no objection for Sime Darby Bhd to acquire a stake in the national heart institute (IJN).

A total sell off. Najib's statement shows how uncaring the government is. Another good institution sold of. Just lower the IPP payment (RM1-2 billion per year) and you can keep IJN with a raise for all workers. Najib's response to the hillside tragedy is also hollow - consider HK blueprint so homeowners pay. And the current rakyat subsidy of petrol fuel where government makes RM150 million per month. Government seemed to make all the profit and take away the few institution that is effective for the rakyat.

Why is sime darby so influencial? They got the government to pressure Guthrie etc. to merge and now this... . With their car business suffering, CPO prices down, leaders sacked and put in court .. Sime Darby is not a company that inspire confidence.

Heartless!

And as expected, Razak Baginda is free!

Abdul Razak Baginda is free!
The 2 other ikan bilis cops will be on trial , possibily facing death but quite surely be acquited.

Incoming PM, Najib will not be able to fend himself from accusations after his sms with Shafee was leaked out and promising that things will be ok at the end.

Najib 2 Shafee Date: 16/11/2006 10:53:50
Pls do not say anything to the press today. i will explain later. RB will have to face a tentative charge but all is not lost.

Yep, it works out well in the end. The trial is a sham with AG chamber and prosecution doing a terrible job of looking interested to charge RB. Now, they will pretend interested in appealing. The UMNO Chief Justice has served his master well.

I honestly wish RB well as I do not think that he is quilty. He could not have ordered the killings but is part of the equation. The chain of events would probably prompt a closer look at his charge.

So then, who ordered the UTK officers to kill Allantunya?
What is the motive ?

Perhaps that is why Justice Ian Chin has decided to resign than to suffer the embarassment being a member of the tarnished justice system. Malaysian court system is a joke to the rest of the world!

From

We are sorry Mr Sharibuu. He was too shocked at the verdict. Perhaps he was hoping that what everybody is saying about our court system is false. Perhaps he is hoping that money and influence would not impair justice. Perhaps he was hoping that his daughter's conversion to Islam would make the Muslims be sympathetic and ask for Islamic justice to be given.

Yes, all Kafirs are treated like dogs.

How I wish that I was wrong?

I am a forgiving person. So, when people suggest that Najib is a racist because waaaaaaaaayyy back in 1987 when he was young and positing himself to be the UMNO Youth leader, he promised to 'bathe his keris with chinese blood".. I gave Najib a bit more leeway. Reasoned that he was young, raw and being an opportunist then. You can't expect him to bathe his keris in Malay / Indian Muslim / Kadazan blood, cause it would not be 'cool'. Chinese is the enemy, the jew. That was when Musa Hitam- Razaleigh Hamzah combo was trying to be more Malay than the Indian Muslim- Chinese Malay ( Ghafar BABA- get it?) combo. After many special assignments (because of his heritage) and moving up the enchelons of power, reckons that he would be wiser by now.

Oh ... am I wrong! A day after visitings its supposed Chinese Party ally and shaking hands/ kissing and got his butt licked by Ong Kah Ting as 'berwibawa", he came out of the meeting and showcase his manifesto which would shape his plan as a PM.

“I will defend the supremacy of the Malays until the last drop of my blood if I win the mandate of the delegates to become the next Umno president at election to be held in March 2009. This is the solemn promise I made to my late father before he died”.

If anybody else that this UMNO royalty talks about blood letting, that person will be stoned and put in jail. His royalty blood is definately more important than the normal working Chinese people blood. And the Kayans, the orang asli, the cocos, the etc. are definately not important to this Najib chap as anybody who goes against him will be 'destroyed".

"I will also not hesitate to use all means to destroy elements that can threaten the stability and peace of the country.”

And here, Susan succintly detailed out our future Prime Minister in Waiting's character.

The King of Scandals and Denials. Oh, the first person who tells me how many times he swore of his innocence in his speech will win a price. haha.

Does he expect the normal-blooded rakyat to just believe his swearings? So, he thinks that he is the King of Malaysia and all lesser people will need to kowtow to his sayings and doings as in medieval times. Yes, he is the King of Scandals and denials.
