user101 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) To find out someone is just helping a fellow forumer without any motive (social norms) or is he just helping to "help" himself(market norms), just click on his ID on the left side and look at his post history. Open your eyes and read. Don't get into yet another "Soon" here, you already have enough of "Soon" problems already. I believe most forumer are good, just a handful out there who are looking for market opportunities. I wonder....... Why can't they just say, "I'm a contractor, I think I can help" Edited December 17, 2009 by JuzChris Quote Removal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My tiler is a local 50+ uncle with superb skill. When Lian Hin ppl came to remove some of the hairline scratches of the granite flooring , they can't believe the super b workmanship. They told me they have not seem such a good workmanship for so long. Edited December 2, 2009 by nobody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konajovin 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I guess it is time for all soon customers to come to accept that AH SOON now is broke. He has no money to do our jobs. One can force him, curse him, whatever thing u can think off... but still, fact is, AH SOON still has no money to do our jobs. He is now running around telling customers like us, to pay for the remaining jobs first. If the total amount of money paid to him and his sub-cons exceed the contract sum amount, he will pay us back the money. He can only pay us back estimated in March 2010. He seek for our understanding and he promised to pay in March 2010. Not too sure to believe him anot but one thing for sure, we dun have much choice... seriously, alot of people asked me about going to case... seriously, going to case is a WASTE of time. They cannot do anything other than act as a middle party to mediate. ULTIMATELY, AH SOON STILL HAS NO MONEY TO DO OUR JOBS. TO and fro going to case, appointments n etc... by then CNY liao... Going to police doesn't help either because he hasn't run away and doesn't constitute to cheating offences... Ultimately like what edmund says, the choice is ours. First of all, we have to ACCEPT the fact AH SOON is now BROKE (tou haven't declare bankrupt) Next, we move on to either pay ah soon sub-cons directly or find our own contractors... The only thing we can do to claim back our money is to sue him. or of course, if miracles happens, he can return our money by MARCH??? I can understand the feelings better than anyone here after 6months of renovation (still haven't HO!!) with AH SOON. Sleepless night, numerous calling everyday, smses, aeroplanes, having to deal with angry SUB CONS... not to forget $$ losses due to storage cost n etc...i also breakdown and can't take all these anymore... 我们千选万选, 又怕选到手工不好的CONTRACTOR 又怕选到不负责任的CONTRACTOR 又怕选到会拿了钱会跑路不做工的CONTRACTOR 却偏偏被我们选中!! 为什么买TOTO又没哪么准!!!!!
