Pelan

I heard this term almost everyday ..and it su#ks...especially when it comes from that person...

'Pelan' in architectural /engineering terminology means plan = drawing, be it building plan for construction, mechanical or whatever related to drawings.

In Kedah, 'pelan' means slow..and 'buat pelan-pelan' means doing it slowly..or quietly..

Sometimes its ok to take our own sweet time finishing one task, but when it become a habit ..then ada yang nak kena 'pelangkung' sebab dok buat pelan-pelan.

I'm facing this particular person who always give me numerous excuses and whenever I comment about his work, he will said :' takpa puan , kami buat pelan-pelan'. The problem is in construction the word 'pelan-pela' is not applicable to all task or work. If your dateline is next week and you are behind schedule, you should speed up..instead of 'buat pelan-pelan'...

I called him yesterday morning and I could hear bubbles..and I knew that he went fishing..!! fishing while his project dah nak lingkup..and he admit that and told me that he was at site a day before until 4am..Oh come on I'm not a newbie...and when I called his big boss, I knew that he was not at site, but in Padang Besar, entertaining some government officer..gth..gth




Few weeks before, the background was sora ayam itik..I wonder why we always end up with kontraktor cap ayam yang pi memancing ikan..???

And during meeting, he received a call and dengan selamba badak, jawab phone and he was talking about dedak burung..goshh...

They've test my limit..and I've done my part, appropriate letter has been sent to relevant authority..puas hati aku..jangan main-main...

I guess, this contractor should change their company name to something that is related to aym, itik, dedak burung and ikan..!!
