Touch n’ NOT Go

April 14, 2009 By: endroo G Category: Bloggy 4 Comments →

A: My touchNgo card expired. I also can’t believe it. Strange, right?!
G: How come? Since when the TnG card expires? Never heard of it.

A: Where can I get a new card?
G: Errr…. thats a problem. Normally you can get it at the PLUS hiway toll office. Now they sell it at petrol stations… but not all petrol stations. Thats the problem why there’s still soo many people queue at the “cash lane” at the highway toll.

A: Where to top up then?
G: Well, its not as convenient as Oyster Card in UK where you can top up at the newsstand. Here, you either topup at the hiway toll, bank ATMs or petrol stations. Again, not all petrol station.
A: Wha… so (inconvenient) one, ah?
G: Haha… what to do. Malaysia mah.

The Touch n’ Go card is supposed to be a very convenient card for motorists. I think it will be good if we can use cashless card to buy stuffs… without the need to carry cash and worried of being robbed. MEPS cash was a flop. We hope TnG will be something more than a paymede option for highway, parking, public transports and other venues. the only setback is the extra 10% charge at some venues for the usage of TnG.

Well, now with it being able to be used at Burger King, Station 1 and many more affliated merchants, it paves the way for others to follow. Hopefully, we can use it at the mamak someday…

Revolutionary

April 14, 2009 By: endroo G Category: Bloggy No Comments →

A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, “a turn around”) is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:

1. Complete change from one constitution to another
2. Modification of an existing constitution.

Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.

Well, in history, as we all studied, that a revolution happen when the majority is sick of the unfairness by those in fucking power and who blatantly enrich themselves using power. Also of those who marginalised some, if not all, of the disadvantaged people of the population. For a revolution to succeed, there must be sacrifices. It is in those history books and Once upon a time in China (Wong Fei Hung) films we learned that everyone has to sacrifice for a revolution to bring changes for a better future. Revolution cannot be executed by one person. Everyone must join force to revolt for a better future. Have you seen lately, where there are abuse of power to enrich oneself? Man, why are we coming to this topic again…. are we not sick of all these idiot bastards? When you flip a pig’s stomach, what you’ll see is shit.

So… Thaksin or Abhisit?
