refuse to cooperate. meaning,

2) refuse to cooperate with you
a) not giving clear guidelines to work things out, then blame you
when you did something wrong
b) purposely letting take a long way for a solution
c) simply ignoring you and etc.
3) refuse to attend a meeting (even under the advise of the highest management)

KL cafe / kopitiams to FORCED to install Wi-Fi?

According to KL mayor , installing Wi-Fi at kopitiams will be boost investments and economic activities and all that. He claims that all these chain operators have Wi-fi installed and it is cheap. Hence, every of these kopitiam and cafeteria should have them. Those who refuse to do so, will have their licenses revoke? (Smart eh?, KL mayor idea is the best? you no follow, you no do business.)

hello, .mr. Mayor.... can you be more... *ahem*... down to the earth??? *points at ground*, stop flapping your wings in the sky...

that'll be 24 days per month

RM19200

Profit (before streamyx)

RM19200 - RM10800- RM150- RM150 RM4000 - RM600 = RM3500

Profit (after streamyx)

RM19200 - RM10800- RM150- RM150 RM4000 - RM600 - 1776 = RM1724


I might've slightly exaggerated a bit. RM1776 isn't exactly cheap either. It's like RM200++ shy of RM2000. If you're franchise operator, which one drink costs average RM10, a meal might costs RM30 (drinks+meal) altogether, yes , it's feasible to do so.

Please Mr. Mayor , if you're seriously provided Wireless access to KL visitors or businessmen, DO-IT-YOURSELF. Tender these projects openly, make these wireless Internet accessible from people who frequent these kopitiams. After all, you collect taxes from them right? Why not use the tax money to do maintain these Wireless Access Points? or you might has *other* uses for these tax money?

2) A high class restaurant that provides privacy

3) A bar / pub

4) Club

5) A mid class restaurant that doesn't provide privacy. , something like a "dai chao" / 大炒 restaurant

6) Others, please state the venue and why you chose it.

Please mark your choice and leave your comments about why you made that choice.

You guys may be wondering what inspired me to made this post. Well, it was about a friend's experience.

Recently, the friend's parents set up a blind date for this friend. This friend initially was insistent to meet elsewhere other than McDonald's . Unfortunately, the person this friend was going to meet don't think so. In the end, this friend gave in to this person's request and meet up in McDonald's and ordered NOTHING while having a chat in McDonald's.

I was like, I know meeting in McDonald's is a bit of cheapskate. What?! Throughout the whole date, didn't order anything?

The friend went, "The person said, the I chose McDonald's because they don't charge you for even for just sitting there".

Maybe due to person's work background in the finance sector, he became such a cheapskate, or he just plain stupid. Either way, that's what inspired to write this post.

So.. please leave your comments about your choice and why you made that choice.
