yes i did...

Yup. Utmost respect to Panjang.

Perhaps, one of these days, I'll be like him. But, what type of hole to patch, ar?

On a more serious note, and quoting what he said, "Panjang said while some people had warmed up to him, some continued to ridicule and throw insults at him.", I had similar experiences. When I sold myself in E-Bay to donation to the old folks home in Ipoh, I went in a thread for Octoberfest(NMT, Autoworld), asking for donations, I was BURNT. And, the mod mentality takes over with fellow kaki botol joining in. Old wanker, I was called among others. Sigh.... :sad_smile:

Just to add... in The Star 8-Feb-2006

This quote was found " “He is taking care of a small area while we are doing road works on a larger scale, which affects many roads.” MBJB said."

And also from an article here ....
http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/2/9/nation/13340673&sec=nation
"However, Ghani stopped short of saying whether Panjang would receive an award from the state government in recognition of his efforts. "

I guess all Panjang receive is just the hamper given by Hyatt Regency JB. I'm not saying he deserve to be treated as king, but give some acknowledgement for these initiative people mah...

Our country needs more of these people around :_:

This quote was found " “He is taking care of a small area while we are doing road works on a larger scale, which affects many roads.” MBJB said."

Which means they can ignore smaller roads?

 

[acbc]

Means council can save money by not patching up smaller roads.

Small job = higher cost from contractors (smaller volume)
Big job = lower cost from contractors (big volume)

 

[Duke Red]

They weren't patching up smaller roads from the beginning. I've heard of many residents who do it themselves. Panjang has just given them an excuse for not doing so. If we write in to complain of potholes, they'll blame it on panjang now.

 

[satria_95]

I respect this dude. He claims to be from a wealthy family and he's doing the council's job. Honestly, my respect goes to him. For those who ridicule him, well, judgment awaits them. The council should be ashamed of themselves.

What's wrong with advertising myself for a good deed? I did bring in RM4K+ for a good deed to the old folks, wat.
What have you done lately?
