Day +784: It happened again :-( (3)

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday...

The highway towing truck immediately approached us after the “AAM agent” left and told us that in fact he could help us to tow the car to the nearest toll station, which is Pedas Linggi. He had to “pretend” that he couldn’t help us when the “AAM agent” was around. The “AAM agent” will complain if he knew that the highway towing truck would help us to tow the car to the toll station instead of the nearest rest station, because this reduces his chances of getting business. We were very happy when he heard about this. At least we didn't have to take the trouble to arrange for a towing service.

Richard sped off with the three students to Melaka while I followed the towing truck to the Pedas Linggi toll station. The truck driver told me that those agents on the road are called “cari makan(predator)”. They roamed the highway to look for “prey”. It was very fortunate that we didn’t fall prey to them. He said “cari makan” makes his life difficult and they also disturb him from carrying out this study. Always "kacau kacau(disturb, disturb)". So, beware of “cari makan”, and never accept their service.

When we reached Pedas Linggin toll station, I saw a towing truck there. The highway towing truck driver asked me to approach the driver to see if he could offer me a good price to tow the car back to Puchong. He said that the truck driver is not a “cari makan”. He is a sincere guy.

In the end, we agreed to have the condemned Daithasu Charade towed back to Puchong at a price of RM320, after a discount of RM30 :-) The friendly truck driver told me that he also run a small service workshop with his friend at Senawang, and towing vehicles is his part time business. Again, he told me that the “cari makan” makes their life difficult as people might think that he is also “cari makan” :-(

I found out later that the price is very cheap, as someone told me that towing service from Bukit Jalil to Puchong alone could cost as much as RM100 during day time.

Just in case you need any towing service somewhere around Seremban, you can contact this guy:

Ah Kuan H/P : 012-6091568 C.K.Yong Motor Workshop

We put the car at the workshop that I had the car serviced earlier. I reached home at 12:30am, and after a cup of hot TESCO Malt Chocolate drink (a cheap replacement of MILO, don’t believe? go and try it :-)), went into a peaceful sleep :-)

To be continued and see you next post :-)
