My sister bought a new house and recently my dad helped to get the electricity and water meter fixed. My dad went to the Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad (SAMB) formerly known as Perbadanan Air Melaka (PAM) office to pay for the connection fee of RM110 which include the water meter and installation.
A few days after that my dad got a call from the SAMB contractor asking my dad to come to the house. There is no reason for my dad to be there because the water meter is usually fixed outside the house gate. This is what one of the contractors told my dad over the phone, “Faham, faham saja lar Encik.” (this means that they want $$$) At that time, my dad just came back from the house and no way he is going back there. He just told them told to fix the water meter.
In the evening, before going to the house, my dad met with a pensioner from PAM. He told my dad that they will only do it if my dad pays give them some money! True enough; when my dad arrived there, there water meter is not fixed. My dad was mad and he wanted to make a complaint but did not. Lazy to drive all the way to town.
The next day, the contractor called my dad again and asked for RM10. My dad gave! They fixed the water meter.
Haiya!!! Since we are not in a rush to get water into the house, what for pay??? Not that my sister is living there yet. If I were him, I already make the complaint!!!
Stumble it!
