Sg Plan flat residents deprived of fixed telephone line

On Tuesday, 20/04/2010, I went to TM Point at Medan Raya to inquire about the fixed telephone line at Sg Plan flat area.    I approached the counter and ask the receptionist about the subject.    I was quite disappointed at the reply that I got from that receptionist.    The fixed line for this area is still not available and she did not know when it will be installed.    I asked her, why is it so and she just answer me bluntly, "No idea!".    By the look on her face, she was not comfortable with my asking.    So, without further  question, I left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

I was told by her earlier that there are currently lots of pending telephone line applications from the residents of the area, but why they delay the implementations / installations?    Why are these people being deprived of this basic facility?   Currently, only the Sg Plan lot and terrace houses were provided with the telekom's fixed line.

Waste of tax payer's money

This small building looks like a "Pondok Polis", but has been unmanned for as long as it has first existed. It is located around Sg Plan area, Jalan Tanjung Kidurong. It was built for reason unknown and now not properly utilised. Doesn't that means the waste of the people's money erecting it and in the end left unused?

Even how simple and small the building is, it must have cost thousands of ringgit, who knows!!!

Squatters along Tg Kidurong

Tanjung Kidurong, Bintulu, Sarawak is where the country’s biggest oil and gas resources originated.   Malaysia LNG contributed largely to Malaysian economy.   Petronas Twin Tower existed due to MLNG.  A large number of work force from Semenanjung came to Tanjung Kidurong Bintulu and made oil and gas industries as their career and rice bowl.  Expatriates from foreign countries also came to Bintulu.  Bintulu is renowned worldwide due to its MLNG plant.

The world only knows about oil and gas extracted from here.  But all along Tanjung Kidurong road, there’s a disease hidden from the world. The diseases are the squatter areas such as Sebatang, Openg, Muzako and BDA Pasir Putih.  If you happen to drop by at one of these areas, you would not believe that there still exist places like that.  I doubt the authority ever care to know about the existence of these squatters.  Even if they know, what have they done?   What effort has the local authority carry out to change them?
