there was no television set at any home of ordinary people in the 60ies.those who live with fixed incoming will buy a radio & pay instalments to the electrical shop in the village.every end of the month either the towkay do his rounds with the bicycle or the borrowers go to the shop to do the payment.There was no PC to records down the number of transaction but the towkay will create a hard cardboard to jot down details and figures.the hard cardboard is totally different from the present Electronic Cards coz its durable and easily kept/arranged and will never got corrupted by any computer virus.
The only worry was termites and its Queen .....back at the electrical shop, it also sells & repair bicycles, singer sewing machines,fans.I could still recal only the big shop at KL town that sells TV namely Rediffusion at TAR road.And, in my village, only one bloody rich Haji who afford to purchase a TV set . The Haji's life was like Haji Bakhil in LABU LABI movie.Having 2 wives requires him to be a hi graded con man of the kampung.He uses a Peugout to drive him around to deliver his religious teaching.And there are times when the monies collected to pay for his lecture was not to his expectation.He would complain to my father who use to company him.

Because of this stingy Haji, we the neighbours never had the chance to watch TV as those days the broadcast was from 6pm to 9pm daily.All we heard was the sound of Negaraku and News from RTM thru the dinding of his house.
The people at that time, relied on radio broadcast namely Malay, English , Indian and Chinese on the Medium Wave Frequency.
The only thing I bothered was to listen to malay and english songs.......Datz the reason the human which grew up during that era had a hi-tech imaginary ability in the brain.
There was no Korean or Indonesian serials by Astro but dramas were heard over the radio and it was up to the listener to imagine the pictures and happening as the story is being told.It goes the same for 'siaran lansung dari Stadium Merdeka perlawanan bolasepak antara Jepun dan Malaysia' every body will crowd the mamak shop listening to the broadcast! ... there was no tv , not even black and white tv set!
In the span of 5 decades, life changed.The values that remain are good , bad and human greed.
And working in the aviation industry which is fast moving, technology based and hi expectation from the public make me tired at times. Any deficiency in the level of service will be reflected immediatly in the airline facebook.Currently due to age and recent major surgery, my physical and mental ability is reducing it torque and horsepower.Like an old Fiat 124 racing against a Myvi Lagi Best.
Everything is online nowadays. Purhases, On line bankings, online ticketing even the radar picture in the busiest airport in US is being transmited in the Internet (with few seconds delay) .Aimed to provide the masses with the latest development & happening around the world.
LED and LCD flat screen, HDMI....hah, I dont understand, with my failing eyesight, all tv pictures looks the same to me.In fact at certain times I dont understand the news itself.What the logic announcing the news of an old lorry plunged into the ravine deeps in the country of Cuba, becomes the headline and broadcast via Berita terkini....while so many failures, disasters, accidents in the country are not mentioned.
So artificial and false.....................................sneaking into the Pakatan Rakyat side of the story is all full of swearings and anger .. so highly critical , as if if they rule the country , things will become so much better.To me human is human, anything below the navel is reacts like animal.Thatz what Mahatma Ghandi said before.
