Let us take a good look in the mirror...
3 years of none immigrant O retiree visa. All Immigration criteria complied with.
Sole owner-occupier of a beaut condo apartment. Car (new). Appliances. All bought new here, in the Land of Jokes. Let me tell you what is wrong... Everything!
Fridge (Siemens) - RUSTY!
New car's stainless steel parts - RUSTY! (God knows what is inside?)
Chandeliers, gold and chrome plated - RUSTY!
Newly installed aluminium doors and windows - RUSTY!
Apartment in a high rise condominium (over 20 floors) HAS NO FIRE SAFETY! NONE!
( no fire/smoke alarm, no checks on fire extinquishers, no evacuation plans, no emergency lights, no working water-booster pumps for hydrants).
No legal protection for citizens, consumers or foreigners !
No Laws, at least working! They are made here to look like western, than forgotten and broken every step at a time!
Corrosion, corruption, disfunction - everywhere. Bandar-log! Nothing is Real. Only looks like it.
Oh, and, please, do not call me a pessimist. Remember, pessimists are the same people as optimists, just better informed.
Yeass, I know about the Old and New Condo Laws. These people just piss at them. The year is still 2552! This is 543 years behind...
Do you live by the ocean? This is a common problem when one lives near saltwater.
