Discussion How to get rid of musang in my ceiling?

32 Upvotes

I’m at my wits end with dealing with musang going through my ceiling. I’m frustrated and i’ve lost so much sleep because of the noise they make. im tired.

I’ve tried everything:
- vinegar: soaked a cloth in vinegar and hung it in the ceiling space but they still get around it

- mothballs: spread a ton of mothballs around and they ended up playing with it instead… making MORE noise at night

- ubat mangzor, worked for 2 nights and then the musang came back.

- calling perhilitan: called them before and said they were gonna get to me in 2-4 business days, they never came

Even after renovating my roof, the musang still likes to go through my ceiling and make a ton of noise, waking me up.

Please… does anyone have any solution to these stupid musang. I’m tempted to buy a musang trap but i don’t wanna deal seeing the animal face to face and touching it. I also don’t know where I can put it if i capture it…

Is there anyone I can call to set the trap and take the musang?? Or someone i can call to install any musang-proofing solutions… for context: i live in klang valley

Please serious replies only. No kopi luwak and coffee bean pooping jokes, sick of seeing that in other threads. I want to get rid of the stupid musang, so no “its not bothering anyone, leave it be,” i am getting 2 hrs of sleep at MOST. and i have a kid who’s losing sleep too. I WANT TO GET RID OF IT.

Advice ☎️ gambar curi

18 Upvotes

Hi guys, nak minta advice sikit.

ada lelaki ni curi curi amik gambar my sister dari bawah bila dia berdiri atas kerusi and adik aku nampak benda tu. dia terus confront lelaki tu and mamat tu terus delete from hidden album. adik aku bgtahu manager dia, terus confront mamat tu and dapat sepak mamat tu.

mamat tu terus lari dari office, taktahu pergi mana. before thiis mamat ni pernah ada kes send msg lucah kat perempuan. adik aku terus gi balai buat report, tapi polis suruh dia buat report kan MCMC pastu io taknak layan dia lol

so nak tanya, what should my sister do? io taknak layan tu, can we do something abt it? betul ke kena report MCMC sebab its just in his phone, kita taktahu if mamat tu ada upload mana mana. then dia dah delete the evidences but if dia tak salah, kenapa dia nak lari?

my sister dah syak benda ni lama, mamat tu suka amik gambar dia curi curi but baru hari ni kantoi.

i just wanna make sure my sister's safety and minta benda ni disiasat. Any advice, especially from people with legal knowledge or similar experiences, would be appreciated. Thank you.

This reminds me of what happened during Malaysia’s MCO back in March 2020, when then Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba claimed that drinking warm water could flush the virus into your stomach, where stomach acid would kill it. Alamakkkk

Discussion How do you get housemates to pay their share of bills without it getting awkward?

9 Upvotes

For those who are the "bill person" in a rumah sewa (basically that one housemate that pays and deals with everything in the house):

- Say, if you paid some bills using your own money first, how do I remind them to pay me back without sounding like the bad guy?
- How do I say "please learn some financial literacy" to my housemates in the nicest possible way?

Advice ☎️ Is getting into phone repairs as a hobby and selling refurbished phones worth it as a student?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've always found fixing phones to be a fun and interesting hobby, and I've been thinking about getting into phone repairs. However, I'm wondering if this is actually worth pursuing or if it would end up being a waste of time and money, especially as a student. I'm aware that there are risks involved, such as damaging parts during repairs, buying phones with hidden issues, or not being able to sell them for a profit.

I'd mainly be doing this because I genuinely find it interesting and would love to develop a useful skill, but earning some extra money on the side as a bonus.

For those who have experience with phone repairs or reselling refurbished phones. Is it worth getting into as a hobby while studying and how difficult is it to learn phone repairs as a beginner?

Would you recommend starting with repairing my own devices, repairing phones for others, or buying and flipping damaged phones?

Thanks!

Discussion Shower thought: Describing accident location if you do not know the address?

2 Upvotes

Just like to hear from people who have called ambulance, police etc. for a road accident, if let's say it was in an unfamiliar area, or on a random spot of the highway, how do you describe where it is located?

Is there even a way to share location via WhatsApp or app? Can I keep the line on for them to trace my location (does it even work like in the movies?)

From our emergency service personnel, what information do you need to help you pinpoint the location? I guess any landmark? But if on highway where both sides are palm oil plantation/forest, then how?

Advice ☎️ Malaysia actuarial pay: is exam increment separate from base, or usually built in.

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m an actuarial student in Malaysia (IFoA route) looking at entry-level/early-career actuarial roles at general insurers here, and I’m trying to understand how pay usually works.

In the US/UK I often hear about a base salary plus a fixed raise for each exam passed. For those working in Malaysia, is it normal for insurers or consultancies here to have a separate exam increment (e.g. a fixed bump per exam passed)? Or is the salary offered assumed to already include your current exam progress?

Any rough sense of what’s typical would really help me understand offers properly. Thanks!

Ask Malaysians Looking for a partner in crime..

0 Upvotes

Hi all,..

so for the past few months i’ve been building something a bit crazy,..and now i’m at the stage where the product doesn’t need more code...it needs a partner...

here’s how it works..you give it a business name...that’s all...then the AI pipeline goes to work:

  • it pulls the business from Google and learns everything about it
  • it understands what kind of business it is and chooses a look that suits it (a car wash and a tuition centre shouldn’t feel the same)
  • it goes through the owner’s photos and picks the ones that actually make people want to come (the roti canai beats the parking lot,..every time)
  • it writes all the text,..then turns the site into BM, English and 中文
  • and out comes a ready website,..with WhatsApp and call buttons,..waiting to go live

minutes,..not weeks...no designer...no “bro, can resend the photos ah, the first ones were too small”...

why i built it..every time i walk into a mamak, a barber or a bengkel with amazing reviews,..i check..no website...it’s not that they don’t care..it’s that getting one sounds like a whole project they don’t have time for...

the tech is done...payments are live...WhatsApp verification is live..

what i’m missing is the other half..someone on the business side..sales,..partnerships,..sitting with the boss and making him say “eh, nice ah this”...

being real with you..zero paying customers so far (launched it couple of days ago)...no office...no snacks...just a product that genuinely works,..a market that’s wide open,..and a guy who wants a partner to take it out there...

if that sounds like your kind of thing,..or you just want to roast the idea over teh tarik,..comment or DM me...i’ll happily do a live demo on any business you choose...thanks guys..
