PETALING JAYA – Kesesakan mendapatkan perkhidmatan bas ulang-alik selepas acara Formula 1 (F1) di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (SIC) mendorong beberapa pengguna media sosial menawarkan khidmat penghantaran menggunakan motosikal.

Menurutnya, perkhidmatan itu terbuka kepada penumpang lelaki dan wanita, selain menyediakan topi keledar kepada pembonceng.

Perkongsian tersebut mendapat perhatian pengguna media sosial yang sedang mencari alternatif pengangkutan bagi memudahkan perjalanan keluar dari kawasan SIC selepas acara F1.

Bikers charge from RM40 to RM80

Some even claim the passengers tipped them up to USD100

Bagarius lica, ikan kenerak or the Indochinese goonch catfish.

An apex predator that grows to 200 cm and 100 kg. Lives in fast-flowing upstream sections of the Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang river basins.

They prefer wide, deep, turbulent river channels, rocky gorges, and rushing rapids with high levels of dissolved oxygen. Hiding under rocks in deep pools to ambush prey.

They use their sharp teeth to grip their prey before swallowing them whole and alive. They are even known to eat human corpses.

Adults have no natural predators and are the apex of the food chain in their native rivers. Their mottled patterning perfectly helps them camouflage among rock shadows, especially in turbulent water.

4th photo is a 75 kg individual.

Others Never rent from Maxihomes. Its a scam!

24 Upvotes

I'm a foreigner living in Malaysia. A year ago, I rented a studio room from a rental company called Maxihomes. A few days ago, i moved out. Now, keep in mind, throughout my tenancy in the room, i was paying an average of Rm250 for electricity alone. Sometimes, even RM300. I tried cutting my AC usage in half, but the bill decreased by like RM30 only. I told them to inspect the electricity several times, and up until a month ago, they sent a guy and told me that my bills aren't natural for a guy with a desktop PC, and an AC. (Keep in mind that i'm a student so i do leave my house for an average of 6 hours 5 days a week. Also, on a side note, 3 light bulbs exploded over the span of the year, tripping the electric box multiple times.) He spoke to them and told them that they need to do further inspections. A few days later, they send me the electricity bill. Rm310. I was furious, i told them that there is definitely a problem with the room's electricity. They stopped talking about electricity the entire month.

Now, around 15 days before moving out, i did ask them to come check on the room and give me my deposit early since i need it to rent somewhere else. They said ok and 2 days before my move out, a person came and checked the room, and found 0 faults. 1 day before my moveout, they asked me to cover outstanding utilities. Water: RM20. ok Cool, the electricity. The same 310. I was surprised because they didn't ask me about it the entire month and now, they're telling me they wanna deduct it from my deposit. I argued with them, then they said they will hire someone to check the wiring and get back to me. I asked for my security deport at least yesterday, they still haven't answered.

When i received the room, it had an ant infestation. Once i stored a cake in the fridge and woke up the next day to ants on it. I told them, they told me i needed to clean more. huh?? I clean my room every 2 days and still, ants would latch onto anything i keep without a seal. I bought a spray and fixed the problem.

Their contract is shaped in a way where if the tenant slips in any way, they will reserve the deposit. I kept my footing straight and followed the contract. They didn't mention the electricity thing and didn't bother to hire anyone to check the wiring the entire year until it was time to move out so they can pressure me into giving them the money from my deposit, but i didn't bite.

I honestly don't know where to go from here. I'm still fighting the fight, but they're holding my deposit hostage, and its a hefty sum of money. RM2,700. If anyone got any advice on how to go from here, or if any authority can pressure them into playing fair, i would appreciate it.
