Be Alert On Our Electricity Bill
Our government recently announced new incentive under the Budget 2009 for the lower income group whereby for those consume monthly electricity below RM20, all charges shall be waived. So, anyone want to install extra meter to ensure your charges is below RM20 ? getting the waiver !
Before considering the above, I myself have just realised of an "irresponsible act" from the service provider whereby they have been charging my monthly usage for the past 5 years based on estimated basis. What is the discrepancy ? Well, I had only realised it after moving to my new house when I discovered the high charges of RM100+ although I have moved out in May 2008. My wife has actually told me two months earlier but as usual, I do not take immediate action for what Iconsider is small matter. Then last week, I went back to my old house to get my mails and the latest copy of the electricity bill was among the other mails. I remember what my wife had said and I quickly went to the meter to check the accuracy of the reading...
OMG...my meter reads only 9600 points but the estimate has already run into near 11,000 points. As expected, I can feel my blood pressure is rising quite rapidly (as my neck start to feel the heat) ....almost immediately I started to press my handphone to call SESCO.
Tooo.toooo..then....a sweet voice was answering my call...(my blood pressure cool off a bit)...I started to inform her about my discovery...and she is so warm and confidently tell me that she will immediately update my bill and the changes shall be reflected in my next month bill. That's it ! Such a straightforward reply from her and just because of her nice handling and assurance of the amendment, I do not grumble further and put down the phone.
However, deep in my heart..I know this is just not right and I have been paying the extra charges based on the estimates. So, if there are 30,000 customers experience like what I have....the service provider could collect the extra charges and earn on the interests for free ! we may be talking about millions of ringgit here.
Few days later, I have also conveyed to Ah Too & Mr. Tee during our usual game...they said...normal...lah ! That is why every other month, they will call up SESCO to give them the actual reading...to ensure they do not get over charged !
Well, folks....don't be like me...start checking your electricity meter to ensure the accuracy and don't give free interests to this sucker (it is just too easy for them to suck people) !
Today Is My 13th Anniversary...Life In My Industry
Yes, today is great day indeed as I reflect my first day working in an insurance company. Can you imagine, I left my house at 7.00 a.m just to reach office early but only reach home at 3.00 a.m the next morning ? My girlfriend was so worry for me and keep calling on my house phone so many times (until my housemates also start to worry) beside had to ride her bike from BBB to my rented house in Serdang just to check my whereabout (those days I do not own any handphone...so cannot be reachable so easily).
What had actually happened between 7.00 a.m to 3.00 a.m.? Anyone want to guess ?
