Lowongan Kerja Terbaru PT Indika Energy Tbk
Some Tuesday night ranting - Stupid People and the fact that I don't sell anything on this website!!!!!!!
I recently got a couple of e-mails that I consider as inappropriate and slightly strange. Most of you folks out there know that motoring-malaysia.blogspot.com is a website that provides information, knowledge, opinions and reviews about all automotive related stuff. Some would also know that I test cars and write stuff for other automotive websites too (not so much anymore) but most of you can tell that I do not sell anything at all through the site.
I mean is it stated anywhere that I am an agent or a dealer or a distributor of any automotive related product? Where? I have been managing my own website and the only things I can see that are promoting stuff are the ads on the website. Those ads do not even relate to the strange requests I get. Like this two below.
EMAIL #1
Name: Z**
Email: - (I have purposely hid it)
Website:
Comment: Dear admin Heico....
Interested in putting the front grill and the bottom grill (which is above the plate number)...for my XC90 (2008)..
Where can I get those thing (shop or contact number)
Thanks you for your time....
Answer to EMAIL #1
In email #1 I have somehow become administrator of Heico. The company that does aftermarket performance parts for Volvo cars tuner HEICO. Did I state anywhere in my site that I personally know people from Heico? No. Then why did the person ask me? Personally I think the 2008 XC90 that he wants to mod should be kept stock as he may need the money to go to school or college or some refresher course in rational thinking. You do not make someone who runs a motoring website as administrator of Heico in an instant. That person needs to spend his money not on a grille but on logical thinking classes. Nowhere on my website says that I am with Heico or associated with Heico or sell Heico parts. Wouldn't it be simpler to just GOOGLE Heico Volvo and get their contact details? Just because I once or twice reviewed Heico Volvo and it came up while you were searching online it does not mean I am associated with the company lah dei!!!!! Read and understand. Is that so hard?
Here is a link to Heico just in case someone as blur as the poster of that email wants it - www.heicosportiv.de/en
Dear Sir / Madam,
Please quote us your best price for the following items before 25/08/2015 at 03.00PM :
2. ITEM :Battery, Lead Acid, Hitachi #N200, 12V/200AH
QUANTITY : 10 each
Please state of the following:
1. Price Validity
2. Price Term
3. Delivery Period
4. Payment Terms
5. Estimate Weight and Packing Size
Your urgent reply is much appreciated
Thank you and best regards.
Yours Faithfully,
for D***I SUPPLY & SERVICES SDN BHD

Reply to email #2
Hello? I remember writing about HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE BATTERIES. No where in the article did it state I sell the batteries lahhhhhh!!!!!!!!
These two examples above are the tip of the iceberg. I have received many more. I have come to the conclusion that there are some Malaysians (and some from Mars or elsewhere) that they cannot understand reviews and news or the fact that it is NOT STATED ANYWHERE in the website that I sell stuff. Why are these people so dense? Why is it so hard to search for hitachi automotive batteries on Google???? Or if the person read the article published on motoring-malaysia they would have found out who the distributors of the product are and GOOGLEd them instead - Let me give a clue - Borneo Technical Co (M) Sdn Bhd (Borneo Technical).
Read. Read and understand before asking. Is that so bloody hard? Sales Operation Clerk. Haiyoh. If I had employees like this they wouldn't be my employees for long.
Sorry folks. Had to let out some steam. The thought of so many people who are actually just like the chap who supposedly has a CGPA of 3.85 is getting to me.
Volkswagen Malaysia celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Volkswagen Polo
Mr Armin Keller with Vincent Paul Yong
Aside from launching the Volkswagen Polo Club edition last week Volkswagen Malaysia threw a photo exhibition, a fashion show and a dance party all at once. I attended the event last friday. Only for a short while before little ol' me decided to call it a night. I suddenly felt all forty three years of my life even though the party brought me back to my twenties. The heart was willing, but the body was dead tired (after three launch/events from morning till after the sun had set).
Anyway, Volkswagen Group Malaysia celebrated 40 years of Polo by collaborating with local photographer Vincent Paul Yong Photography, better known as VPYP. Vincent brings alive this classic car’s exciting personality through a Polo exhibit where he coated the car in chrome and showcased a photo series featuring DJ duo LapSap and illustrations by Cloakwork.
The exhibition launch at APW on 21 August included Pearly Wong’s SS16 fashion show and LapSap taking on the decks.
PRESS RELEASE
Volkswagen celebrates 40 years of the Polo
Ms Martina Berg, Mr Armin Keller, and Mr Robert McAllister
(21 August 2015) The Volkswagen Polo is German engineering at its best in a fun sized package and this year it’s celebrating its 40th birthday. This hatchback made its first appearance in 1975 and has since gained a legion of fans.
Currently in its fifth generation, the Polo hatchback is one of the brand’s top-selling passenger cars around the world and in 2014, Malaysia introduced the locally assembled Polo making it more affordable and accessible. Mr Armin Keller, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Malaysia commented “To date, the status of the Polo in Malaysia is unmatched. With over 13,000 units sold it is no wonder that this practical, yet fun car has captured the hearts of Malaysians. It’s agile but solid performance results in a drive best suited for KL’s busy roads as well as long highways. “
In Malaysia, the Volkswagen team decided to celebrate this milestone by collaborating with established fashion lifestyle photographer Vincent Paul Yong Photography (VPYP) to produce a photo series that showcases the driving fun with the car.
Self-taught photographer Vincent has brought the Polo to live with a photo-story highlighting a day in the life of DJ duo LAPSAP and includes illustrations by graffiti artist Cloakwork. This exciting collaboration emphasizes the spirit of the colourful spirit of the Polo. The images were revealed at an launch event at APW titled WYSIWYG- What You See Is What You Get.
The VPYP photo exhibition featuring the Polo will be on showcase from 21 to 30 August 2015 for the public to view.
In conjunction with the Polo’s 40th anniversary, Volkswagen Malaysia is pleased to announce the introduction of the Polo Club that will feature a multimedia head unit with navigation and window tint. The Polo Club will be available at RM88,888 and the Polo Sedan Club at RM89,888 while stocks last.
Truck News: Volvo Trucks 2015 Malaysian Fuelwatch Challenge winner announced
Mats Nilsson, Managing Director of Volvo Malaysia flagging off the Final round of the Volvo Fuelwatch Challenge 2015 in Shah Alam on 22 August 2015
Volvo Trucks (Volvo), which operates under Volvo Malaysia, has proudly revealed the Malaysian winner of its Fuelwatch Challenge 2015 at a Gala Dinner held at the Dorsett Grand Subang last Saturday. Volvo Trucks’ annual Fuelwatch Challenge was held as a training and competition for truck drivers and it offers the participants tons of skill knowledge and information, equipping truckers with the ability to churn out the best fuel consumption possible for their vehicles. This is achieved through a process that encompasses a comprehensive approach and setting the right ergonomics between man and machine for maximum output, with minimum fuel that leads to the best vehicle productivity and increased awareness on safety. i.e fast is not always efficient, too slow is also not efficient but a certain sweet spot.
The qualifying round of roadshows across various cities and towns in Malaysia kicked off earlier in April. At the recent Finals, the title winner Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib, from Prifaria Sdn Bhd, Prai, defeated 17 other semi-finalists who were all vying to become Malaysia’s most fuel-efficient truck driver. As the national champion, Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib is set to represent Malaysia in the competition’s APAC Finals – set to take place in Hua Hin, Thailand from 15th to 18th September 2015 where he will be competing against winners from Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Singapore among others.
Guest-of-honour at the gala dinner last saturday was Encik Mohd Yusop bin Mohamad, Assistant Director of Automotive Engineering Division, Road Transport Department (JPJ), Malaysia Ministry of Transport (MOT). He commended the company on the success of its annual Fuelwatch Challenge and its wide reach among Malaysian truck drivers and was also glad to see private companies like Volvo Trucks seriously taking the initiative and responsibility to help improve the situation for industry, environment and communities by contributing to fuel efficient and safe driving behaviour.
The guest at the dinner was entertained by games before the dinner began with arm wrestling contests and other games. Previous winners from 2013 and 2014 were present and gave tips and pointers to those that competed this year. I personally enjoyed being in the presence of the people that ply our roads and highways. These are good people. Hard working people that are the backbone of the transport industry and therefore, our economy.

Shah Alam, 24 August (Monday) 2015 - In its continuous quest to advocate fuel efficiency and road safety among truck drivers who are the life blood of the economy, Volvo Trucks (Volvo), which operates under Volvo Malaysia, has proudly revealed the Malaysian winner of its Fuelwatch Challenge 2015 at a Gala Dinner held at the Dorsett Grand Subang last Saturday.
Volvo Trucks’ annual Fuelwatch Challenge was held as a training and competition for truck drivers and it offers a treasure trove of skills and information, equipping truckers with the ability to churn out the best fuel consumption possible for their vehicles. This is achieved through a process that encompasses a comprehensive approach and setting the right ergonomics between man and machine for maximum output, with minimum fuel that leads to the best vehicle productivity and increased awareness on safety.
The qualifying round of roadshows across various cities and towns in Malaysia kicked off earlier in April. Today at the Finals, the title winner Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib, from Prifaria Sdn Bhd, Prai, defeated 17 other semi-finalists who were all vying to become Malaysia’s most fuel-efficient truck driver.
The sixth instalment of this annual competition, this year’s challenge saw an overwhelming participation of over 1,000 drivers – an increase from last year’s participation of 800 drivers.
Recording the highest overall accumulated score based on theoretical tests during the preliminary rounds, Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib was one of the 18 truck drivers to push through to the semi-finals and finals – where contestants needed to battle it out in a real time driving challenge covering a 45km distance. During the real time fuel efficiency test, Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib achieved the lowest fuel consumption, clocking 2.83 kilometres with just one litre of fuel while carrying a load of 20 tonne in the Volvo FM 440 with i-shift technology.
Close behind were Mr Merzuki Bin Jusoh from Prifaria Sdn Bhd, Terengganu and Mr Md Idwan Shah Parais Abdullah from Kota Mas Oil Sdn Bhd, Kota Kinabalu who won the second and third places respectively. Mr Merzuki Bin Jusoh achieved 2.77 kilometres per one litre of fuel and Mr Md Idwan Shah Parais Abdullah achieved 2.56 kilometres per one litre of fuel. They won themselves RM3,000 BSN voucher (second place) and RM2,000 BSN voucher (third place), and a Fuelwatch trophy each.
As the national champion, Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib is set to represent Malaysia in the competition’s APAC Finals – set to take place in Hua Hin, Thailand from 15th to 18th September 2015 where he will be competing against winners from Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Singapore among others.
“Winning this challenge has been both a pleasant surprise and a thrill for me. I have been practicing on driving fuel-efficiently during my daily driving routine and today, it all paid off”, said Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib.
He added, “It will be nerve-wrecking yet incredibly exciting to be contending with other national winners; but I am confident that if I do my best, I will hopefully be able to make Malaysia proud.”
When asked if he has any advice for other drivers and future contestants, he said that practice and commitment are vital to achieving the desired results.
“Our job requires us to be on the road roughly 8 hours a day, almost every day. While we are responsible for transporting and delivering our loads in a safe and timely fashion, we also need to ensure that we apply fuel-efficient driving techniques into our daily driving. This helps us not only reduce environmental footprints, but additionally helps us to conserve fuel – which contributes to reducing business costs. For those who have not participated in the Fuelwatch Challenge, I urge you to do so because it is a great training platform to teach drivers on safe and fuel-efficiency driving as well as empower them that the role they play makes a difference in society,” said Mr Nor Rahmat Bin Abd Talib.
The competition also goes beyond driving skills that saves fuel and increase environmental awareness as it also condones proper management, vehicle optimisation, performance monitoring, safety measures, and maintenance of the truck prior to usage. Not only will it contribute significantly to fuel efficiency on the road, it would also reduce the risk of a breakdown and more importantly, ensure the safety of the trucker.
“Quality, Safety, and Environmental Care have been our guiding principles since our inception in 1969. While we integrate these core values into our products, we strive to ensure that the end-users of our products – in this case, the drivers – also exhibit these very fundamental values in their everyday driving. We want our drivers to be of top-notch quality, who observes safe driving, and to drive and operate in the most fuel-efficient manner. These are makings of a good, responsible, and committed driver; and another point of this annual competition is to drive these values into our drivers,” said Mats Nilsson, Managing Director of Volvo Malaysia.
“Truck drivers are the backbone of the economy and as a leading truck manufacturer globally and in Malaysia, Volvo seeks to continue inspiring this change in drivers’ behaviour. We hope that our message, through our annual Fuelwatch Challenge, will continue to resonate with all Malaysian drivers, fleet operators and relevant authorities,” Nilsson said.
“On a related note, we truly welcome the Government’s recent announcement to introduce Euro 5 in a bid to have cleaner fuels on Malaysian roads, as well as the support already expressed by several petroleum companies. This is a positive move by the government to preserve the environment, it corresponds so closely with Volvo’s environmental care core value and we fully support it,” added Nilsson.
Guest-of-honour at the dinner, Encik Mohd Yusop bin Mohamad, Assistant Director of Automotive Engineering Division, Road Transport Department (JPJ), Malaysia Ministry of Transport (MOT), once again lent his support to Volvo and commended the company on the success of its annual Fuelwatch Challenge and its wide reach among Malaysian truck drivers.
“One of the key challenges for the transportation and logistics industry today is the rise in fuel costs. And overall, threats to the environment posed by excessive carbon emission is another issue we are grappling with these days. As such, on behalf of JPJ, I am glad to see private companies like Volvo Trucks seriously taking a responsibility to help improve the situation for industry, environment and communities by contributing to fuel efficient and safe driving behaviour,” said Encik Mohd Yusop.
He further added, “I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the winner of this year’s Fuelwatch Challenge who will also take on the role of Fuelwatch Ambassador 2016. I wish him the very best for the Asia Finals in Thailand in September. Do make Malaysia proud!”
