Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia Kelana Jaya

Salam 1Malaysia.

On Wednesday 22 June 2011, the first Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia was opened. It's located at the Kelana Jaya RapidKL station.
Since i use that station almost everyday, i got to see the works behind the store, and also its progress.

 Final touches before opening

If i'm not mistaken, the initial idea was to open a MyDin store over there. But somehow, it got changed into the Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia out of nowhere.

1 Ma...ling?

The opening ceremony was on that day, 5pm. It was officiated by our Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Abdul Razak. I was there around noon, and i swear to god that i don't wanna be there during the ceremony. It's done on 5pm, so you can imagine the rush hour traffic, the number of people and so on.

 Majlis Perasmian

There are many road closures that day, and if i'm not mistaken, even the taxi and bus service were halted or something for that event. You know lah, PM come, sure all must clean and clear one.
So, no annoying brader taxis and all those makciks selling keropok.

What brand is that?

The next day when i was there, the store is already fully open and functional. A lot of people were there, of course, to check out the new store and all.

1Malaysia for everything

So, what's so special there, you ask? What do they sell?

 Even serbuk kurma 1Malaysia also got

Well of course you can't buy Malaysian citizenship, or hak bumiputra over there.

Use the 1Malaysia shower cream to bathe in patriotism. oh yeah

Almost all of the items in there are brandless, or should i say, rebranded, to the 1Malaysia brand.
So, you have 1Malaysia breads, 1Malaysia shampoos, 1Malaysia serbuk kari and everything. Basically, 1Malaysia [insert item].

The bread is RM1+ for a big loaf

There's even a 1Malaysia tissue. Now you can wipe your ass and be patriotic at the same time!

Putting some sense into the words 'asswipe' and 'patriotism'?

What's great about this store is that the items over there are cheap. Noticeably cheaper than all stores/hypermarkets, fucking cheap.
You can get a bottle of 500ml mineral water (1Malaysia brand, of course) for RM 0.39! That's 40 cents for a fucking bottle of mineral water. Even a 1.5L tub of 1Malaysia ice-cream costs RM3!

 I wonder where is the source of this water..

In terms of quality, i'm not sure yet, i haven't bought anything, yet. Of course you can't compare to those Cold Storage groceries quality, but hey, how bad can it be, right? I guess.
Looks like 7-Eleven, Newsplus and Guardian at the Kelana Jaya station will be bungkus soon, no? 

1Word - cheap!

Well, i think this is quite great, especially for poorfags like me.
Buy cheap groceries, support the community and be patriotic at the same time.

WIN!

Do check it out whenever you are free or around that area.
Salam 1Malaysia.

Anwar Ibrahim Taking the RapidKL Train

So, the other day, i took the Putra LRT/RapidKL from Kelana Jaya.
And then i saw a familiar face/figure.

Eh?

Oh wait, could it be..
Well, it looks like him, stands like him, is it really him?

 Jambu siot

Yes, it is. Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim yo.
Seriously, it is him. No need for video/picture analysis. And no need to make a sumpah laknat, ok?

And who's that guyboy standing close to him?
Must be his new anak ikanacquaintance or something.

" Mama, isn't that the guy in the video? "

I'm not sure what he's doing there, but there are a lot of photographers and bodyguards around him as well.
Ahh.. no wonder. Election is near, no?

Oh by the way, sorry for the crappy picture quality, and excuse the watermark yeah?

"Make sure gambar tu nampak saya ni mesra rakyat ya"

So basically Anwar took the same train. Inside the train, he posed here and there, walks around, greets the people around him, being very mesra rakyat and all, and he even came to me and shook my hands.

Sup bro?

Since i was busy taking pictures of him like right in front of his face, he smiled at me and shook my hands. Err yeah. He then proceeded to play with some makcik's little son, and acted very mesra with some travelling Chinese, talked with a few Indians, and all that lah, you know the drill.
1Malaysia maa. Eh?

I love boyskids

 He was quite sporting, posing here and there, and even came out at one of the stations just for a picture, and quickly running back in before the train door closes.
And with the shades and all. lol

 

Can i claim a Rolls Royce?

So all in all, it was a rather funny ride back home actually. hahaha

It's not everyday you get to ride a train with this very controversial man, no?

Nah, make your own 'analysis'

Oh, one of his queer-looking aides did gave me a gay stare, and i gave him the WTFisyourproblemman look.

But luckily, i'm not approached to become the next Saifulhis anak ikan or some shit.

Sori lah bang, saya tak main belakang.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha

Fuck the Touch N' Go Topup Machine

It's been a while since i posted something under the sial label.
This happened on Monday.

So, i just got back from the office, and i went to the topup machine to top up my Touch N' Go card at the Kelana Jaya RapidKL station.
The machine is easy actually.
Just press the topup button, insert your money and touch your card and your card will be topped up.

Menyusahkan

But nothing is easy when it comes to me. It's just one of those days.

After inserting RM50 into the machine, the money got stuck inside and the machine displays "TIADA SERVIS".

The fuck?
I pressed and half-smashed the buttons and yet nothing happens. Not even a receipt of the transaction (or the non-transaction, to be more precise).

Mesin bodoh

So, in rage, i went to the ticket counter and told the brader.
He said that they can't do shit about it and i have to go to Touch N' Go's main office in KL Sentral to get my money back.
I was like WTF?

KL Sentral alone is just pure madness. Going there at 6pm during the rush hour is just insane. I had no choice.
So, i went to the office and i had to take a number and queue up. Again, i raged.

When my turn came, i told the akak about my situation. She took down my card number and what not, and asked me the number of the machine.
How the fuck am i supposed to remember?

I told her to call the station and just ask for the number but she couldn't do that since Touch N' Go and RapidKL are different entities. WTF? I don't give a fuck, i just want my money back.
She asked me to go back to the station and take note of the number.

I fucking raged and i told her that all i remember was that the machine is the first one on the left.
Oh, maknanya nombor dia C01 la tu.
Fuck, whatever.

After getting all the details done, she told me that i have to wait for a month, exactly one month for me to get my money back. They need to investigate the shit first and all that jazz.
I was like, WTF? What's the problem, can't you just open the machine back and give me my money already?

No, they said because the machine will only be opened once a week or something.
Come on la, even in cheap arcades where you play a 50sen game, the apek will help you to smash the machine and get your money back if your money is stuck.

Remember this?

But no, i have to wait for a fucking month to get my RM50 back.
And the worst part is, i have to go there AGAIN to collect my money. And the akak said that they won't even call me when the shit is done. I have to just come there and be hopeful that everything is done.

Now i can't top up my card, i have to fork out extra money to go to your fucking office, and i have to wait for a fucking month to get my money back, and i have to spend more money to go to your fucking office to see your fucking face again to collect my money, just because your machine fucked up.

Tak ada duit susah, ada duit pun susah

A small problem which could have easily been solved in a matter of minutes became a month-long wait. I can accept the fact that your machine fucked up, hell, everybody fucks up once in a while. The thing is, the whole fucked up process is what makes me rage.
And i have a feeling that in a month's time, there will be more problems at the office. I can bet.

Any of you guys faced this problem before? What are the odds? Damn.

If only i had this in my bag..

And what if i smashed the machine and get the money myself? Will somebody come immediately to arrest me or will it take a week or a month for them to take actions?

Fuck you Touch N' Go, fuck your machines, fuck your methods in dealing with problems, and fuck RapidKL too.
