Experiencing Malaysian-styled Privatisation

My appointment was set at 8 am, but they only started working at 8.30am. Yeap, that is what I experienced at the Wangsa Maju Puspakom.

I intended to transfer the ownership of my NEO to my younger brother. It is the requirement of the law to have the car to be inspected by Puspakom, eventhough the transfer does not involve any exchange of money or material value. It is called "tukar hak milik sukarela".

The whole exercise took about an hour and fifteen minutes, plus RM30. And you will be given the certificate at the end of the session if:

1. the engine of your car is in good condition and has not been altered or damaged;
2. the chasis is genuine;
3. the car is not a kereta-potong; and
4. the tinted film meets the specification by JPJ.

What's next? You have to bring the certificate to JPJ and execute the ownership transfer within one month from the date of the certificate.

Jom Servis Kereta

Setiap kali hantar kereta untuk diservis, sekali itu juga aku berdebar-debar. Tertanya-tanya berapa banyak wang yang akan terbang keluar dari dompet.

Walaupun sudah tamat tempoh waranti, aku masih lagi menghantar NEO ke Pusat Servis Proton. Biarlah orang kata mahal, tetapi aku lebih tenang dan yakin.

Bukan aku tak pernah hantar ke pusat servis lain, malah dua kali. Tapi aku tetap kembali ke pusat servis yang terletak di Pandan Indah ini. Apa yang perhatikan, pusat servis rasmi ni baik Proton, Honda mahupun lain-lain, mekanik mereka mempunyai checklist or checkpoint yang perlu diperiksa.

Manakala di pusat servis yang tak rasmi, mekaniknya tanya kita balik apa mahu check?

Kalau aku tahu, tak ada aku datang ke bengkel kereta uols!

Neo Masuk Bengkel

Kata mekanik, skru patah lantas enjin pun jatuh. Aiyo!!!
