On my way back from KLIA, after disembarking from the airport limo, I suddenly realised my wallet is not in my pants. It must have fall out and drop on the taxi.
I called the airport limo center. It's already 2 hours and they still didn't give me any reply. I just wonder why it's so difficult for them to contact the taxi driver and let me know.
Shit...the trouble begins; I lost my IC, diring licence, credit cards, ATM cards, and quite some cash.
Oh my God, I just hope the good Samaritan will give me back those documents; that's all.
UPDATE: 1.45AM
The taxi driver delivered my wallet back to me.
Thank you En Mazuki, the driver. Thank you En Azmi, the officer on duty. Thank you Airport Limo.
I am now at peace with myself. Now I can go to bed. My anxieties caused me gastro-intestino problems. Thank God, the most merciful almighty. Amen!

Shitomato! I hope you got a ride from an honest cabbie, bro. I don't have quite some cash, but if you need dinner or drinks, drop by the press club any weeknight, ok?
All the best, and keep us updated.
Hope Luck be with YOU!!
Bro Rocky & Sharing,
Thanks to both of you who shared my pain. Thank God, the driver En Marzuki delivered my wallet back to me. I am extremely grateful. All other things doesn't matter to me; all I want is my IC, driving licence, credit cards, ATM cards. I didn't bother to check all others as it's not important to me at all and I believed En Marzuki is an honest person; I believed him and I have 100% faith in his integrity. I thanked him 1000 times and I reward him too.
Thanks dropping the "notes" to lighten many others hearts reading your drop!
"Lightening" your heart on what inside the wallet is well noted!
Good man should surely be also rewarded by God!!
Sleep well with sweet dreams to wipe off the sweat lost!
How careful one should be to avoid lost?
How come to suffer lost repeatedly coming to 4 or 5 times even with professional in one single case?
Paying to lawyers with written understanding of what to be done still simply lost by lawyers distorting their work!
Or even paid but not work and even not attending courts!
No reply on promises to do.
No advice on what to do.
No advice he would not be in court
but advised to attend court
for hearing when Pleading was awaiting to be fixed.
Yet Bar and Court gladly said they cannot act!
He has the courage to sue the judge
but no courage to tell the facts!
Should all these not even work as good as Marzuki when returning wallet was a moral act with no obligations?
What a relieve... At least there's some 1st class mentality in the system. What happened to me at Genting Hglds on 28.12.07 was not admirable at all. Forgot my trustee camera Olympus u750 in the `Crazy Science Lab' at around 7.00pm. After realizing it, I went to look for it (half hour latter) and nowhere to be found. The attendant said she'd not seen it. Searched the whole place...lost forever.
wasnt on the net past two days ... but glad to hear your wallet is returned - mav.
this prove one thing, except for "most" politicians - malaysians are generally hard working people with integrity and honesty.
there are still decent and honest hardworking malaysians around. kudos to encik mazuki and encik azmi.
Sharing,
Is the lawyer case your problem? Let me know!!!
Gukita,
I'm sorry to hear of your predicament.
I believed Malaysian Taxi drivers are generally educated in terms of integrity and honesty.
BTW the taxi driver told me, "don't trust politicians." I laughed!
Agnos,
Ya, Agnos; refer comments I made to Gukita; don't trust politicians.
Anon,
I agree with you 100%. Thanks to Marzuki and Azmi.
tsk tsk mave, why were you so careless? do be careful next time eh? (hehe. look who's lecturing you - me who had my purse/phone picked twice!)
ok lah. i know these things happens. thank god there are still honest people around. glad to hear that you get your wallet back. it's true the biggest headache of losing wallet is all the cards/license you lost(not so much the cash) - scared people use your cards and hassle of re-making them.
Indonesia is one of the world's most richest countries in terms of natural resources. God has blessed Indonesia with gold, uranium, copper, oil, timber, beaches, seas and other wealth. The land is fertile with abundant rain. Stick a twig into the ground and it grows into a tree. Yet Indonesians sleep in the streets.
Food is expensive. The average Indonesian eats some rice, tempe, tauhu and maybe some vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner - everyday. An average Nasi Padang meal for four persons in a single star Indonesian restaurant can cost RM60.00 (160,000 Rupiah). This is way beyond the income of the average Joko or Ketut in Indonesia.
Why is this so? The answer is because the ruling elites in Indonesia do not care about the people. They have pillaged the country. They craft policies that only serve to keep the elites in power and the wealthly. The same thing is happening in Malaysia. There are also millions of Indonesians who go to school and university but do not learn skills that can help them survive in the real world. They are very poor in European languages like English or Dutch. All their education is in Indonesian. So they cannot keep up with the latest developments and technologies. They cannot compete. They remain poor.
The children of the elite are sent overseas for their education. An average Indonesian university graduate cannot bring world class skills to his employers. He or she therefore earns a pittance. This is happening in Malaysia. Bumiputra university graduates only strike it rich if they get Government jobs where they do not do much work but earn a good salary with a pension. In the private sector they may not get a job or earn only a pittance. That is why 100,000 graduates remain unemployed in Malaysia. Bumiputra university graduates are turning up for interviews as taxi drivers and shop assistants. What about those who flunk out after SPM? They become Mat Rempits. Last Saturday I saw another Mat Rempit get killed at the road races in Shah Alam (near Section 7).
In Malaysia, just like in Indonesia, food is getting very expensive. But the wages and salaries of the people, especially the Malays, is not keeping up with the increase in prices. Instead of developing the competitive ability of the people, the Government has been using the failed NEP to provide subsidies and dish out money on a plate. Everything is subsidised, even cooking oil, flour, rice, sugar, fuel, etc. The Government has been providing these subsidies so that the people will keep voting for the ruling party. So it has never been to the Government's advantage to make the Malays independent. A Malay who is independent of the Government may not vote for the BN. It is therefore better to keep feeding with subsidies.
So, for the past 50 years, everything has been subsidised. But now with 27 million people in the country of which more than half are Malays, subsidies are getting more expensive. There is also much much more thievery and wastage by the elites in Malaysia. But there is no bottomless well full of money. Everything has its limits. The money will soon run out.
Without the subsidies for cooking oil, sugar, flour and petrol, how are the people, especially the Malays, going to survive? Already university graduates cannot find jobs or compete in the private sector. What happens when the oil money runs out? What happens when (not if, but when) the Government cannot simply spend billions of oil money to sustain its voting base any longer? That is when we may see people sleeping in the streets, just like in Indonesia. If that happens this country will go up in flames. We will all be consumed.
In Indonesia, the Government has not mobilised its hundreds of millions of people (over 250 million Indonesians) with the competitive skills to grow enough food for themselves. Hence food is expensive. They do not even have simple survival skills like coming to work on time, organising themselves to do simple tasks, maintaining good hygiene and cleanliness and so on. They are poorly read and not informed about many things that are going on around the world. Their Government has failed in all these aspects. Hence the average Indonesian remains poor.
The same thing has happened in Malaysia. Our young people, especially the Malays, do not possess basic survival skills. We are not talking about competitive skills but just basic survival skills. The Government is not serious about giving them useful competitive skills either. The Mat Rempits are being glorified by the politicians as saviours of the nation (Mat Cemerlang). Correction : they are drug users, gang rapists, snatch thieves and street fighters.
When an efficient Policewoman called Nooriyah Anvar was appointed Chief of Traffic Police she went after the Mat Rempits with a vengeance. Does anyone remember her? She confiscated their bikes on the spot. But soon the Mat Rempits called their political muscle and Nooriyah Anvar was kicked out. To date she holds the record of being the shortest serving Traffic Police Chief in Malaysia. She has been replaced by Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Hamza Taib.
So the Government is not serious about improving the position of the Malays. It serves the Barisan Nasional Government to keep the Malays down and out. Then the Malays can go to the Government for crumbs. This way the ruling elites get to keep the whole loaf to themselves. Go and visit Indonesia. This is what is happening over there. It is happening over here too.
Thanks Lucia; you are experienced person on this matter.
Ruyom,
I do not know much about Indonesia. But I had been to Indonesia a couple of times and I find that the food there is cheap as compared to Malaysia. I used to pay about RM1.50 to RM3.50 for a nice lunch at a restaurant in Medan and Jakarta; maybe, it was years ago.
I'll try to read more on the latest Indonesian economic situation but somehow I have observed that Indonesia has improved tremendously in terms of economic and social standards over the last few years since the departure of Suharto.
Maverick,
Thanks your concern.
Yes, I am stuck with a lawyer of more than 30years in practice!
He is my 4th lawyer. The 1st sued me for defamation after he got paid and failed with an application that was the responsibility of his client, the developer. Meaning he was acting for both parties in an Housing matter.
Via an NGO, I engaged this 4th lawyer in March with all necessary documents with a deposit of ??K. By April, I did all necessary summaries and notes to save his reading plus input onto an amended draft of Defense for his incorporation of counterclaim which he promised. I was asked to meet him for some half-hour talks. But, those were almost what I had present in my summary. I draft him letters for possible parties but he just did only after pressed many times and could send to wrong party when not checked and one go without even discussed when it was remarked with discussion required!
In May, I got an draft of one section, which I cannot see how it can fit into the original and the counterclaim was much exaggerated with a mess of parties and no background on the claim. So, I ask for the complete draft before continued while he should get some pending matter to be sorted out from the Plaintiff - including the Statement of facts and Issue dued since 2005. Nothing heard from him since then.
In July, it was the first mention date after the appointment. But, I was told that he will ask for a hearing date which I queried of how come a hearing date without even sorting out the matter with the Plaintiff and without the amendment done. Again no answer.
Since then 5 mention dates up to now, without present. One of which even without solicitor from both sides, except me in the court. The court has confirmed that they had not been advised of their intention of absence.
The last one in Dec, I got a notice from this lawyer telling me to attending the court and ask me to send him documents and bring witness to his firm and to settle the balance when he can hardly justified for the ??K deposit. He did not turn up in court and up to now, I hear nothing from him, as usual!
I was told by the court to do my amendment and ignore him!!
Is this correct in all respects?
The 2nd lawyers did not rebut the particulars but just denying when a sequent for events was prepared for his convenience.
2nd & 3rd refused to any counterclaim.
3rd distorted my rebut and stayed away from asking the Suggested Statement of Facts and Issues evening when I was told to do the Bundle of Documents and trying to skip some documents! She even challenged me to take court action if I am not happy!
The Bar had discharged my complaint after 2 years without providing me copy of the explanation from the Plaintiff, where I was a volunteer to the Residents Committee on a Condo without facilities ending up with a Strata Title of Apartment!
IF LAWYERS CAN BE SUCH A BULLY with Bias from BAR. WHY SHOULDN'T THE POLITICIANS!!
Any hope for the average Malaysians?? A society to spend but to get Problems!!
(Sorry to have taken up this space!)

Wow... in such a panicky situation, you can still blog! Salute you Maverick!
Sharing,
He has similar problem. I haven't heard from him for sometime but I think it's still unresolved.
Purple~Mushroom,

Maverick,
That's mean nothing can be done for such situations?
