Fight for Rights

Today i went to Batu Pahat Police Station to make report upon a fraud. Which is - my identity has been used by somebody to register the celcom broadband. Once i received the bill, i was shocked for being asked to pay for something which i do not apply at all! It was RM180 to date.

In order to clear this bill, i have to be ready for 4 documents : police report, court vow (mahkamah sumpah), birth certificate and identity card. Since today is Saturday, the court is closed. So i guess i have make another trip in order to settle it.

RM180, it may not be a big amount for majority. Some would just pay for it and terminate the service to skip those long and troublesome procedures. However, it's our right to complaint, to let the others know the fraud! My dad said it is so troublesome and the time spent on it may worth more than RM180！

I believe, most of the Chinese think so. They believe 破财消灾 （spending money to stop the disaster). In the end, they spent tonnes of money in NOTHING!

For my parents' case, it's mostly because of the language problem. They are just so reluctant to go government department. Due to the language barrier, they are treated bad and most of the time, they are scolded, yelled impatiently but can do nothing in return. As a result, they think ALL the government servers are low in efficiency, unfriendly, discriminating, etc etc...they never really want to go any government department. On the contrary, they are willing to pay more to go for private service, eg dental care, clinic...In this case, what is others' perception toward this group of ppl? Rich? The fact is, they tighten their belts so much in order to get a better service, at least not being scolded (imagine an adult being ill-treated by an arrogant public servant, not that hard to recall any incident, right?)

I do really wish everyone of us should be aware of our rights. Educate the rakyat for their basic needs and of course...get more public servants who are fluent in multi-languages (that can help a lot!). Fight for it. Not just spending the money and cover the incidents up to avoid troubles...Money can never settle it from the root, completely! Money is just the fertilizer, make this kind of culture growing well! Under table, darker and darker...
