It seems like ages since I last had time to post something, but admittedly a chunk of that precious time was spent reading up on New York traveling tips as well as settling the chores needed for my 3-week working trip.
Thus I wouldn't comment about the oil price (which makes me feel bad with the huge carbon footprint I'm leaving..) or the fact that Obama won the vote to represent the Democrats in the presidential elections. (BTW, the incumbent ruling party in the House of Senate had voted against a motion to impose taxes on extraordinary profits by the oil-industries Big 5 - ExxonMobil, Conoco, Shell, Chevron & BP. See here on how they voted.)
What I would comment on is the fact the the government is mobilizing all the Post Offices in Malaysia to act as disbursement centres for handing out the vehicle rebates amounting to RM625 for cars with engine displacements of less than 2.0l and RM150 for bikes with 250 c.c or less.
What would the involved cost be in such an exercise? Overtime pay on a non-working Saturday for Pos Malaysia employees?
To those unclear with the mechanics of getting your rebates, you just basically need to come in person, with your IC to the Post Office. Once there, fill up a form and they will evaluate whether you are entitled for the subsidy (correct engine class, road tax renewal period between April to June 2008).
Once they have verified your fingerprints, you should get the promised rebate. Well, that's how it was promised to be anyway..
Mine isn't due till the 29th of July. Hopefully, it won't be a big issue by then!
