BTW after a locksmith helped you entered your flat, does it mean you will have to leeplace the lock?

Once I lost my key pouch outside and thought cham liao will need to call for locksmith. Luckily someone picked it and handed to security guard in x place.
I tried to Lee call all the possible places that I last went and finally found it in x place after asking the guard.

no use lah.............locksmith can open the new lock also leh...............why the old woman pay if the locksmith did nothing ?

The elderly just wanted to cover his petrol.
This is not right.
People tan jiak one.
Being elderly is not a privilege.
Ah ma have to compensate his petrol + time spent.
But I think $80 probably on the high side.
Probably $50 $60 bah

Locksmith job should be exclusively dedicated to a gov ministry aka spf , and they can sub con to their vetted and approved vendors.

According to my cousin who lives in Malaysia, most of the vehicle thieves work for finance companies to repossess cars when the buyers default on the hire purchase payments. Their side gig is to steal cars.

IMHO it was unfair to him.
The ah ma only wanted to por him his petrol money. What about his time? His per hr rate is more than the petrol to travel there de woh.

People need to be more clear mind on this.
1. He is not a charity or social worker. Hence he is not obliged to let go just becos is a ah ma
2. Is not about providing 24x7 service and you can expect people to be at your beck.
3. Ah ma was the one to ownself screwed up, not him.

Govt should subsidize old farts into installing digital lock doors.
