Syabas, SYABAS.

Syabas (Congratulations) , SYABAS.

Look at the photo. As I was passing by the Taman Tun Dr. Ismail area, this sight caught my eye. About a month ago, they dug up the road to lay the much needed new pipes for water supply. The residents had graciously endured the necessary inconvenience. However, today (26th May 2006), the company had once again proven that inefficiency still plagues government projects. They had dug up the patched up road for goodness knows what now. Aren't they supposed to finish all that they had to do in one go? Undoubtedly, we have a lot of money to throw and sponsor redigging after redigging. And this time, the residents visibly DO NOT appreciate the inconvinience.

Not only that. The workers allegedly destroyed some property with heavy machinery. Look at the arrows. That part of the kerb was alright until the machines came. The resident who lives there couldn't be more angry and he was grumbling about the atrotious activity taking place outside his home. He is currently deciding whether to pursue the matter or not. I couldn't agree more that this damage should be repaired and all costs be borne by SYABAS immediately. Unbelievable (or believable). Ah, another resident says that the digging was to repair a leak. What? Why? How? Why should new pipes leak? Are we paying for upgrading or simply creating jobs just because someone is obliged to someone? I refrained from putting up the company logo in a photo so that they could retain some dignity in the eyes of the rest of the world.

And the winner is..

Congratulations to Taylor Hicks, the American Idol 2006! Congratulations to Katharine Mcphee too for mesmerising the world!
