Putatan Platinum Apartment: The Charges

-

I finally able to enter my house. Still under renovation, it basically empty with only electric and water. I could live with that. So I try staying there for 3 nights before I went on to my next trip to Kuching,Sarawak. Free place to stay, save money. I don't need TV or furniture. I just need a clean floor, a pillow and an electric fan to keep me cool.

From my observation, this neighborhood is not the best neighborhood after all. There is a slum just beside this apartment area, and i do not know whether that slum looked village is even legal. The people there look illegal. One word to describe this place, it's overcrowded. With lots of shop and hypermarket (even a mall), everyday traffic are congested.

Anyhow, the second day I'm in this apartment, the first thing I check is the mailbox. Wow, there are a lot of charges that i need to pay. Do i even own my own house apartment? I do not know. I feel like I'm renting in this place.

There are services charges, sinking fun, fire insurance, water bill... A total of 300+ ringgit. Sigh. I need a second parking and there is also a charge for that, 60 ringgit per month.

If I want to renovate my house i need to deposit 1000. If I bought a furniture, I need to deposit 500. Why do i need to pay deposit for work to be done at my own house!? Turn out that the deposit need to cover damage (if any) at the common area while renovation work. We didn't own the common area!

To think it logically, I pay that much money to the developer and that money , I believe, use to make that common area. I doubt the developer use their own money to create the common area.

This is the worse apartment management I have seen so far. But I just want to keep myself below the radar, so i just pay that deposit and hopefully I can  renovate my house without any disturb.

Perhaps later i will stay here a bit more longer.

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
