.. brand new sticker ..

A friend of mine, Chong bought a new car recently. He is proud and happy of it. You can see it on his face. The satisfaction of a brand new car owner.


But that only last for a few months. Then problem start to kicks in. Suddently he realized, he had difficulties to change gear from 2 to 3 and vice-versa. So Chong thought he should get the automatic transmission instead. The problems didn't stop there. Chong started mumbling about the vibration of the car and the loud noises from the engine. And then his power window cable snapped. A few times.


"I told you, don't buy your car from that manufacturer. I had the same problem before!"


"Mine is still in good condition what", Kareem bought the same model as Chong, a few years earlier.


"I think it depends on luck 'lah'. Mine was ok too."


"Or the way you drive, maybe", someone added.


There were too many complaints that I heard and much more from the internet. People thought 'they' might listen and improve, nevertheless, this has also failed. Well, in that case, they should stick a few stickers next to the 'Quality Approved' label. 'Good Luck!' or 'Fragile! Handle With Care' would be perfecto.
