Common Mistake by TNB – A hatred case

bcsjournal — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:04:01 +0000

Some speak their lung out on the mistake by TNB for wrong calculation of units used. I found this rather true though. As i checked through my bills back in nov/dec 2007, i found out that similar case happened to me where i overpaid some 170 unit of electricity. Darn…i should have checked through the details of the bills but… For those that not actively check through the TNB bills, i bet you wish to start doing so as something similar to the following may happen to you or worse case even, you could have been the victim of it.

Do you check you TNB bill? Just check how much to pay and how many
used is no enough……
Do you compare the Meter reading on section ‘DAHULU’ (Red circle)
with previous month? In this case, the April bill on DAHULU section is 29128, SEMASA is
29380. After paid the bill, the problem come…. The May bill come,
the DAHULU section by right should show 29380. BUT NOW, it still show
29128 same per last month.

If we don’t compare with last month, frankly, I had HAPPILY paid for
the bill and TNB had HAPPILY got the extra RM72 from me. At last, all
the TNB shareholder got smart dividend from our hard earn money.

Due to this bad service….I plan to change service provider.
Opps…there is no alternate service provider. The alternate is buy
your own generator, use candle…I guess no one will go for the
alternative service provider….

So… please check your bill and compare it month by month. Our PM
always try very hard and tell us we have to very SMART SPENDING &
MUST compare……. His motive is very good. Cause he knew that
something will happen and lot Giant company might use a VERY SMART
way to COLLECT Money from general public. Thanks to our great
PM……I really compare the price always…..and notice the
brilliant idea from TNB. I am not sure it is mistake? But I don’t
think is human error…

Now, better part is, this is computer error. If you don’t discover
this, then you pay for the EXTRA (this case, we got to pay extra
RM72.80). If you notice the problem….easy, just refund to you, BUT
do you know how time consuming and trouble to get the refund? Why
their mistake is our cost? why there is no compensation on their
mistake?

The BEST part, how many people know they are actually, happily OVER
PAID?

When TNB officially want to increase the unit price….everybody
jumping and compliant. How they going to get extra and no people
complaint? This is an art….

This is the evolution of TNB billing system…..let the computer
system do the mistake….and the mistake MUST FAVOURABLE to the
company.

What is 1-700 by TM?

bcsjournal — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:15:51 +0000

Guys, i stumbled upon a new single number service by TM that supports Ring Tone, Voice Mail and Fax. The 1-700 service lets you decide how you want your friends to contact you, be it over TM fixed line, mobile or fax. You can check it out for more at WWW.1number.com.my. However, it is not as common right now due not many ppl like us will go into it. It is more to business but good to know that we have something that already very common in the state.

Small Fan from India

Small Fan from India

I swear this is the smallest fan on the ceiling that i have ever seen in my life and it is commercially used in one of the Mamak restaurant in Nilai. Well, don’t get surprise if you personally experience the speed of the fan and the wind driven by this tiny ceiling fan. I thought this is a cool idea to attact customers.

WiMAX in M’sia?

bcsjournal — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:04:00 +0000

Intel Capital invested some RM50mil in Green Packet Berhad with an aim of accelerating the proliferation of the 802.11e WiMAX network which is supposed to be comercially available some time around. It is claimed to be one of the largest scale deployment of 2.3GHz WiMAX network outside Korea. Sounds like a big thing but unfortunately, this WiMAX is a little different from WiFi that is widely avaialble today where it needs special licensing procedures by user. It might take some time to make it as common as WiFi.

The birth of BC’s Weblog

Welcome to BC’s Weblog. I planned to make it as interactive as possible to get everyone to gather and talk about almost everything but interesting things. I am of the interest of multi-way of information sharing. Maybe some sharing of some success stories, opportunities and some interesting stuff that i have come across. Cheers.
