I just called them, like a few minutes ago.
Electrical Applicances
Allowed 1. Laptop (NOT PC) 2. Handphone charger 3. Hairdryer
Allowed With Extra Charge 1. Rice cooker 2. Refrigerator 3. Fan 4. Lamps 5. Kettle Can't remember what else he mentioned.
NOT ALLOWED AT ALL 1. PC 2. Printer
Etc Etc Etc.
The going rates for the extra charges have not been set yet.
I don't get it. They allow refrigerators provided you pay them extra, but outright ban printers? =_= Doesn't make sense. AT ALL.
Lemme guess, do they have some sort of printing service which they want students to use?

This is Perintis though, not Pioneer. Wait, isn't Kapas and Pangkor the furthest away from everything else?  Dammit. Have to walk to print.

actually, why do u guys even bother about what not to bring? will there be spot checks every week? in my previous university we students bring whatever we want into the hostels. it is only when some idiot cause the fuse to burn only the management will do a check, if not all is well.

Most likely warning letter first la. Never heard of tenants getting kicked off for me.
But they can be quite troublesome sometimes.

there's no logic. Printer uses less power than a fridge. The 'waste electricity when left on' arguement will not work here. Wow PK being a pain in the 4$$ even before I start school.

Wow PK being a pain in the 4$$ even before I start school. Exactly. I asked the guy about it and he was all "If you don't like the terms then bring it up with the office.". Bureaucrat. Pffft.

Wow..geng..Those things also can't bring.. And suddenly lead up to COD 4..haha.. Anyway,it's really unfair.. I am owning a desktop myself.. Though my desktop consumes 3 times the power that a laptop consumes,the power it consumes still less than what the fridge consumes.. Though I do some good using the desktop last time..Do Folding..haha.

One thing good though, you can fight for it, about all those lists. What is reasonable what is not. The final boss is still angmo that listens to students - those who pay, as long as the issue is brought up nicely and in a way that angmo wants - systematic.
The 'allowed with extra charge' is just writing 'I am a money sucker' on their own faces. LOL!

wht??? i thought among all the electrical appliances,printer is the one that consumes the least electricity...u won't use ur printer 24 hrs wad...u only use it when u need to print things...and what is with the fan? doesn't the hostel comes with a ceiling fan?
and since so many restrictions...i m going to charge my GPS, camera, epilator, hair straightener and whatever that i can charge...

even how much u charge ur gps or anything also wont consume as much electricity as those stated..except printer.. but seriously,bringing a printer to on campus room is not a really good idea..
