-18 FEB,2006. Saturday-
Daddy woke up 2am in the midnight as usual. Sprayed water on mushrooms, and then arranged them in car and got ready to drive out for delivery in the market. While he was taking the mushrooms in the refrigerator,he heard motorcycle sound. He quickly ran out and see, but just manage to saw 2 Indian guys with a motor speeding out from our factory area. Dad started to worry as this is not the first time his factory got stepped in by thieves, Indian thieves.
Before this, at least 5 times they came in as intruders. Near RM50k lost. We did reported to police once. But, poor, our government enforcement did nothing and yet asking us to catch the thief by our self. Last time,we whole family staying in, but since many times got disturbed, we not dare to stay in anymore. We stayed in the Taman nearby, and only dad who sleep there alone every night.
After daddy loaded all the mushrooms in his car, he had to send it to market. It’s late today,but no choice, he tried to petrol the factory area to see if he can suspects anything, but no people that time, is around 3.30am+ . He cant delay anymore, so he went to market.
This time, the Malay people saw fire. They thought fireworks, but actually it was my dad’s factory which on fire seriously. They screamed and frightened. They called the Fire Bridget. Two fire trucks arrived. The Malay people drive to Taman and shout to inform us. When I first heard about it, I really nearly fainted. I can't even walk and forgot how to cry. Mom shouted at me and asked me to call daddy’s hp to confirm that daddy was not in the fire. I m afraid, if he is in the fire, how? and if he is not.. how am I going to tell him that his hometown and factory is burning? Can he still drives on road after he hears that news? Can he still accepts what is happening… or just faint? Finally I called. And when the time he heard the news from me, his only respond was " Err.. must be the Indians just now who done it"…He did not collects the money after delivery, once he heard about burning, he rushed back.
At first, the Bomba don't let us go in. Ya, I believe it was dangerous. But, what is in my mind was ’nothing’. just blanked. Suddenly the Malay asked me "Hey, mane u punya huahua?(my cat)" Oh shit… I screamed. I shouted. She was gone. I can't find no matter how hard I tried. I even find her in the neighbor landlord, suffered from mosquitoes bites,with slippery land and big trees around…I shout together with my brother, and I searched at the Malay housing area. At the end, I searched nothing. Where is my cat? Huahua… i miss u. come back please…:’(
Something surprise me, the Bomba man told dad " Mesin-mesin di sini kita kena rampas sebab ini kilang haram."…well, dad was angry. Totally annoyed, surprised and just doesn't make sense! Dad told the man "kalau u nak ambil semua, ambil saje….tak pe. Asalkan u kena nayar ganti rugi masa depan. Sebab kita bayar cukai, ada ROC, ada lesen niaga, ada pengesahan jabatan pertanian, kalau apa apa jadi, u tanggung ok!"… then the Bomba man just left. Huh… even the government enforcement be greed like this, how we blame and ask the public to be good citizen?
……..totally….upset…
We suspected that the Indian thieves actually wanted to steal our things to sell it to kilang besi buruk as our factory having plenty of stainless steal machineries. Well, the suddenly saw we fixed the cctv and their face got caught by camera. Thats why they burned everything to destroy my pc. Now, more than RM200k lost after that fire. What should we do? Insurance? no…..
Everyone asking me about insurance, but sadly, we didn't buy any insurance. Almost 85% made by wood. Which insurance company dares to sell us? Well, even if they sell, they selling in high price,h ow to afford? By the way, even if we buy, how much they able to pay us for such a big case? I dont' think they let us claim anything! and i know, they will try to give us lots of excuses to avoid from being claim…Don't' believe? Ask those who got experienced before! yea, for some small cases they might let u claim, such as robbery or sickness. well… i never trust any insurance company… never. I rather keep my money in bank…it’s more worth.
No people sacrificed in this fire but… all those fishes and my cat…gone. Thousand of life they killed. Hmm… Another things, after we reported to the police, they just came to take photos and gone. I lost my cat…my cat!!!!.. and i lost 3 bottles of shuttlescocks!!! and my brother lost his school uniform and shoes, and again I lost all my health articles, i lost almost 1k of my salary after 2 months i work in lab…i lost. Mom screamed, her shirts all gone….and actually, everyone do lost:’(
Now, we still owing bank for the loan we took…we should pay them at least 5k per month, and those workers salary, petrol expenses,brother expenses, Indon maid expenses, our bills,…all need about 10k above. Where to find?…
Daddy tried to go Jabatan Pertanian Klang last 2 days, but the clerk said orang berkuasa sudah out station. Well, today, dad phoned the Jabatan’s office …more than 10 times he called, for the whole day… they never picked up the phone. How come this thing happened? A government department unable to pick up phone calls for whole day? Oh my god… should we report? No, waste time n energy though.
Is that the way we work toward vision 2020 with this shameful and irresponsible attitude in 2006?
I’m tired, very tired. I mean, mentally exhausted.
And… only one thing i wish…
Wishing everything going to be fine…
We may eat porridge with salt… we may just unable to pay the loan and no more house to stay in. We may just lost everything… I still can on9 for few weeks i think, until the line is cut by TMnet.
Friend, appreciate what u having now because u won't know what will pop up in your life in the next second.
All the best..
