Right Before the KFC Bash Started
Feb 10th
It seems that a new video has been posted on YouTube today in what seems to be a short clip on what happened before all the fight scene began in KFC i-City, Shah Alam.
It is very clear that a man that sounded pretty demanding was somehow provoking and testing the patience of the KFC staff(s). However, I could not spot Danny (the victim) in this video so can’t prove that it is him who sounded/talked this way at the time of incident. If however it’s really Danny himself, then whatever mentioned during the press conference about how he did not taunt or acted rudely was a lie. I sense the real truth to be unfold really soon.
Victim of KFC Bash Speaks
Feb 9th
Malaysiakini posted a press conference video on YouTube and it was regarding the KFC bashing incident between the staff(s) and a customer. Based on Danny’s (the victim) experience, we now have a clearer view on what actually happened beyond the 28 seconds video that went viral few days ago. Read a brief explanation on what happened here.
At least now we know that:
1) The staff(s) were very intidimating especially with the metal rod.
2) The victim was not rude nor did he lashed out any foul language.
3) Definitely looks like gangsterism in which they have called their “friends”.
4) There were a lot of unsatisfied customers that time, no need for such violence.
5) Perhaps the staff(s) did not like the part where the victim was trying to take photos?
6) The staff(s) was/were kinda provoking the victim for a fight.
Now whatever that was mentioned during the press conference may or may not be completely true but we have already heard one side of the story. Whatever happened that time, I still believe that there was no need for the KFC staff(s) to have reacted that way, especially with all the violence they were showing. What do you think after hearing the victim’s story?
Pre-order Nokia Lumia 800 with DiGi
Feb 8th
DiGi took the first step to reach fans of the much anticipated Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 800. With the launch taking place this coming Friday in which we can expect long queues for it, DiGi is offering an alternative to be among the first proud owners of the Nokia Lumia 800 at the comfort of your home or even while you’re at work. The retail price as confirmed by DiGi is RM1,650 but you can purchase this phone at a much affordable price when you take it together with DiGi’s DG Smart Plan 68. With the plan by DiGi, the phone will only cost you RM1,099 and you’ll get 3GB of bandwidth for only RM63 monthly (if you opt for auto billing). Pretty good deal in my opinion!

KFC Worker Caught Hitting Customer
Feb 8th
A recent YouTube video that was posted online sparked lots of rage in the online world when a customer at a KFC outlet was hit by one of the outlet’s staff. It seems that KFC has been grabbing a lot of attention in a negative way.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Jess6366 (there’s age restriction for this video so most likely you’ll need to login to watch it) and this incident took place at the KFC outlet in i-City, Shah Alam. From the video, we can clearly see that the KFC worker lost his cool and went straight at the customer aggressively. Jess6366 described the video:
KFC worker fight with customer in I-City…the customer were waited for more than 1 hour but when comes to his turn, there is NO MORE fried chicken for him… the customer request the management to apologize but the useless Store Manager doing nothing instead the worker shouted at customer – “kalau mau makan, buat sendiri lah BABI..”
If the description is as what happened then it is really devastating to hear, you’ll never know when another KFC staff might come bashing you up when he lost his cool. Thing is, this video is only 28 seconds long and I’m pretty sure that the whole incident definitely lasted longer than that. It was believed that the customer requested for an apology and the staff shouted back at that customer. In my opinion, this doesn’t make much sense because if a customer requested for an apology, I’m sure the staffs would definitely apologize since it’s very common for a lot of customer service to apologize when they cannot fulfill their customers’ needs (e.g. Sorry the Combo Meal is sold out). I am guessing that the customer had reacted rudely when he found out that the KFC outlet had ran out of fried chicken. Someone who claimed that he was there when this incident happened said that the customer was scolding foul language in Cantonese that provoked the KFC staff.
Also, if you noticed, there were foreigners around and this not only impacted the image of KFC here in Malaysia but also the country’s image will be affected. Like I mentioned, you’ll never know when you will be hit by a KFC staff when he loses his cool or feel provoked. Sources said that the management is currently investigating on this issue but did not mention about any action that will be taken on the staff(s).
My point of view:
1) If the customer was rude, then the KFC staff can’t be taking all the blame.
2) The KFC staff should not have lost his cool no matter what the situation was.
3) I think the staff(s) need some anger management course to handle situations like this.
4) What was the outlet’s manager doing when this incident happened?
So what are your thoughts on this issue?
Windows Phone Smoking Other Phones
Feb 7th
Windows Phone is getting more hype recently especially with the anticipated upcoming launch of the Nokia Lumia 710 and 800 here in Malaysia. Back in the CES 2012 event that took place in the United States, one catchy event was held. A challenge hosted by @BenThePCGuy was given to all the phone platforms in the market, one mission, to beat the Windows Phone in a speed challenge and you will receive $100 in cash on-the-spot. However, if they lose to the Windows Phone, all they have to do is simply admit defeat in front of the camera.
In the video above, Ben introduces the challenge at CES 2012. Watch the introduction to get yourself hyped up!
And the challenge begins! The 2 videos above are just some of the many challengers but are good enough to show you how Windows Phone can effectively get your daily tasks done. Sure it was convincing for me but I guess there are some points I thought that can’t really justify that the Windows Phone is a clear winner. From the point you unlock the phone, you got to tap on icons and probably do some typing (example in some search test/challenge), so in this case it could just mean that Ben could have been tapping more accurately and typing without any errors and that made him and his Windows Phone faster than his challenger(s). However, I am convinced that the Windows Phone system is in a way efficient and smooth at certain areas like updating your social hub in one go.
With the Nokia Lumia launch in Malaysia taking place this coming Friday (10th February 2012) at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, will we be seeing more Windows Phone users after the launch? From an insider information, the Nokia Lumia 800 is expected to be priced at RM1,650 which in my opinion is pretty reasonable, plus if you’re the first 100 to purchase it at the launch event, you’ll even get yourself a free Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset by Monster and a Microsoft Arc Touch mouse along with some Nokia premiums worth up to RM1,000! So, what are your thoughts on the Windows Phone and Nokia Lumia 800? Will you be getting one (especially during the Nokia Lumia launch event)?
