Malaysia's national flag can even be drawn wrong? We've been learning how to draw the national flag since primary school, don't make me pretend to be stupid lanjiao! Unless it was drawn by a Chinese... not a single official has come out to investigate? And the news about Little Bear Winnie is more important than our prime minister's obituary? Putting a tiny black-and-white photo of our prime minister in the bottom corner, while Little Bear Winnie gets a huge colored photo—do you call that respectful? Are you Malaysians or Chinese?

I bet the whole layout of the newspaper and flag was designed in China and just passed over for you to publish. You don’t even dare to check it. Totally controlled by Chinese "watchdog" media.

I sincerely hope the newspaper gets reported and completely taken down. The police should take action! I hope this kind of brainwashing, unprofessional, tea-scented media gets removed! I’m throwing a party to celebrate! Let's drink whiskey and sing “Happy Birthday to you!”

Just imagine, just me alone, and you already write twisted articles, take things out of context, and lead public opinion for years... misleading those who aren’t thinking clearly and only look at the surface, leading them to hate Namewee. Because they all use only negative methods to report, using clickbait titles to attract readers. Media should be neutral. When reporting incidents, they should give both sides a fair voice, or at least interview both parties. But they’ve never done that! Just for clicks, they targeted and basically pushed some slightly outspoken people to death. If I didn’t have a strong enough international platform, I wouldn’t have survived. There are so many victims who remain silent... like badminton star Lee Chong Wei, Yumi Wong, and many others… they’re also public figures, but they don’t have “background,” so they get attacked, get scolded, just like me...

I represented Malaysia and won so many international awards in Europe and the U.S., yet no one reported it. During the pandemic, Malaysian hospitals lacked a lot of equipment, leaving many people to die on the sidelines. I spent a lot of manpower, time, and money collecting supplies and sending all the medical equipment overseas back to local hospitals. I even helped three or four charity centers overcome difficulties and finished many donations. I didn’t even eat properly every day. And the result? Still no reports...

Of course, I don’t expect praise or glory. I just hope I get treated “fairly” in the news, that’s all. But all I get are articles with twisted titles, misleading readers, negative headlines, and clickbait like “Suspected of Connection with Case.” Even though I had nothing to do with the case, the implication is that I’m involved. This kind of reporting has no professional ethics and is misleading.

Since the release of the song “Low-Class Taiwan,” the media twisted everything to say “Namewee insulted Taiwan,” with misleading headlines like “criticized Taiwanese pop culture.” Even during the awards ceremony when I was shaking hands with famous directors, no media dared to report it. Instead, they just stood there like paparazzi waiting for me to die. Is this what media is?

That documentary “The Story of the Worst Filmmaker,” which won “Best Director” and “Best Concept” and got many views and interviews... when we were on the Taiwan award stage, we were praised a lot! But not a single report from local media. I was furious! Police, please arrest them now! Shut down that phk media! Don’t wait! They’re useless anyway...

Now, even the “Umno Youth” has jumped in and protested in front of the newspaper office, asking them to apologize for misprinting the photo of our prime minister and even called my song “Insulting the PM,” and called me “Pig Head,” and started a brainless “boycott Namewee” campaign. It’s like some brain-dead pkm cult. But I don’t care! As the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” So let’s join forces with the watchdogs and only go after trash. So satisfying! Watch! Eat popcorn! keongkan that pile of porridge!

你好，我是欣蕙。非常对不起，这几天的舆论占用了公共资源。这两天，我用了一些时间回想往事、反省我的过去，以下是我的道歉与澄清：

两位实名举报者——黄康嘉及戴欣仪，我与她们的关系是初中同班同学。

对于黄康嘉，我先向你道歉，我以前曾经出口称你为”埃及法老”，但这外号不是我取的。我对我取笑同学的外号这个举动，感到十分抱歉。

事到如今，我明白我的道歉无法改变对她造成的伤害，但我会将这份愧疚永远铭记于心。

对于康嘉指称厕所围堵、义卖会泼水这些说法，我需要澄清，这些事件从未发生。很遗憾，出现这种无中生有的指控。

接下来，是戴欣仪的留言，发生口角是事实，我也向你道歉，但倒水、丢同学水瓶进垃圾桶、带领全班针对、厕所围堵等都不是事实。

我和上述两位本来是好朋友，我们也有多个朋友群，后来因为我与隔壁班的异性多聊几句，就从4人群排挤出去。为了解决问题，我向康嘉和欣仪道歉，但最终还是受到排挤。

我取笑同学外号，这是不变的事实，而我曾经被同学以“矮婆”这种外号取笑和排挤，也是事实。

此外，对于报导说我霸凌的人数有30到80位，也属不实。我承认，我年少时的确叛逆，脾气很冲，也很无礼。我会反省，我也确实在今日付出了代价。对于这些人数，我得为自己发声，霸凌30至80人，我其实做不到，用理性思考是不成立的。

在这次的指控中，有谣言说学校忽视我的行为。我想对母校说声对不起，也在此澄清，学校并没有纵容我。

由于长期的仪容不整、迟到、忘记刷卡补签，以及与同学之间口角，学校都有采取行动。校有校规，母校的公平公正，不会因为我一个人而有所改变。我更因为被记过，而遭到学校开除。曾经是培风学生，我非常光荣，在此深深感谢老师们的教诲。

对于匿名帐号的种种指责，我强调，这一切从未发生。我们素未谋面，但他们选择在此节骨眼上造谣，我不明白。不管我是否为公众人物，对于曾经犯的错，我不会逃避。当时年幼的举动确实不妥，我对我犯过的错一一道歉，并自我反省。

此时此刻，我写下我的感受，是想告诉大家，我在选择选美这条路并得到冠军的时候，我就已经充分理解，未来会跟现在大不相同。我的任何举动，都会被放大，甚至面对各种谣言，我都需要接受。我会自我反省并自我增长，也请大家给予我一次机会继续支持我。在此为我的过错而受到影响的朋友、所有佳丽及主办单位，再次说声对不起

Politicians blamed for Coldplay's one night only gig in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: A non-profit group that supports and advocates industry players in the live arts, festivals, and events in the country says that protests from political groups are among the reasons why the famous British band Coldplay is playing only one show in the country compared to six in neighbouring Singapore.

In a posting on Facebook, the Arts, Live Festival, and Events Association (Alife Malaysia) said that protests from political groups have left a "sour note" with artists, organisers, and international concertgoers.

The organisation said that these protests have proven to have a direct impact on Malaysia's international business environment and reputation.

"The six shows in Singapore are shows that could have been for Malaysia.

"It would have brought millions in tourist income and benefited hotels, transportation, food and beverage, retail, and more."

The group also urged the government, media, and public to protect businesses and not allow particular groups to dictate what the majority of Malaysians want for the country.

Previously, a Pas leader questioned the government's decision to allow the world-renowned band Coldplay to perform a live concert in Malaysia.

In a Facebook post, Pas central working committee member Nasrudin Hassan queried whether the government's decision to allow the British rock band to perform in the country was a form of hedonism and a promotion of deviant culture in the country.

He also attached photos of Coldplay, with its lead singer holding a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) flag, and urged the government to cancel the concert.

The highly anticipated concert by the British band is set to take place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on November 22 and will be its first time performing to Malaysian crowds.

Elon Musk reaches deal to buy Twitter for $44bn.

jianh — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 05:57:29 +0800

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022...over-deal-tesla

Elon Musk has reached a $44bn deal to buy Twitter in a takeover that will give the world’s richest man control of a social network with more than 200 million users.
The sale will put the Tesla chief executive in charge of a company that he has frequently criticized, claiming it has not lived up to its potential as a platform for “free speech”.

The deal on Monday comes after a dramatic few weeks of speculation about Twitter’s future, triggered by Musk’s emergence as the platform’s largest single shareholder on 4 April. He then declared a takeover bid on 14 April, offering to buy all Twitter’s shares for $54.20 each.

At first, Twitter’s board seemed opposed, enacting an anti-takeover measure known as a poison pill that could have made a takeover attempt prohibitively expensive. But its initial reluctance to accept a transaction appeared to fade after Musk confirmed a funding package for the deal – including $21bn of his own money, alongside debt funding from Morgan Stanley and other financial institutions – and shareholders warmed to it.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement posted to Twitter. “Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and users to unlock it,” he added.

Twitter said the transaction had been unanimously approved by its board of directors and was expected to close in 2022, pending regulatory sign-off and the approval of shareholders.
“Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world,” Twitter’s chief executive, Parag Agrawal, said in a tweet confirming the sale. “Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”

Agrawal will reportedly host an all-hands meeting for employees on Monday afternoon to address the news. The Musk takeover has been unexpected and controversial amongst Twitter employees. Twitter has 217 million users.

The company, which launched in 2006, currently has a market cap of nearly $40bn. Its co-founder Jack Dorsey stepped down as chief executive officer in November 2021, handing the reins to Agrawal, the company’s former chief technology officer.

Musk is himself a prominent user of the app, with 83m followers, and tweeted as early as 2017 expressing interest in buying the company. He has signalled that Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company in order to build trust with users and do better at serving what he calls the “societal imperative” of free speech.

“I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means,” he tweeted on Monday.
It remains to be seen how Musk will reshape the company, but the billionaire has proposed several changes in recent weeks. They include relaxing its content restrictions, ridding the platform of fake and automated accounts, and shifting away from its advertising-based revenue model.

Elaborating on his goals, Musk added on Monday that he wanted to “make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans”.

Malaysia From 30% To 51% Shares : Daylight Robberies Why Local Talents & Companies Fled Elsewhere – Forcing Non-Malays To Give Up 51% Of Their Business

https://thecoverage.my/malaysia-from-30-to-...their-business/

QUOTE

Posted on September 27, 2021

When Sabrina Meng Wanzhou, the CFO of Huawei Technologies and the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, was finally on her way back home to China on a charter flight arranged by the Chinese government , she could not control her emotion. After all, she had been detained for almost 3 years, despite living in her US$10 million seven-bedroom mansion.

Her plane was deliberately flown over the Arctic, avoiding the U.S. Alaskan airspace over fears that it may be diverted to the US. It didn’t take long for the Princess of Huawei to post a long message on WeChat, describing how she sobbed uncontrollably as he headed for home. When she said home, it was not just her family and mansion, but her country she called “motherland”.

On board the plane, she expressed her pride of her motherland – China – as the blinking lights on the Air China 777’s wings continued in the darkening skies as the flight avoided the American airspace – “This moment I’m soaring over the Arctic towards home, soon to fall into the mother’s embrace of my ancestral country. After three years, my motherland is within reach.”

Describing China and Communist Party of China as the shining light that has lit up “the darkest moments” of her life, she wrote – “Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, my home country is becoming stronger and more prosperous day by day. Without a strong motherland, I won’t have my freedom today. We live in a peaceful time and were born in a great country.”

She eventually landed safely at the Bao’an International Airport in Shenzhen, home to Huawei headquarters. Wearing a red dress, matching the color of China’s flag, Meng thanked the ruling Communist Party and its leader Xi Jinping for supporting her through more than 1,000 days in house arrest in Vancouver. Meng’s episode has increased nationalism across the country.

Beijing has sent a message that any country that kidnaps one of its citizens would end up with two of their citizens being kidnapped in retaliation. More importantly, China has shown its rise as a global economic and political power. It would not allow foreign governments bully its own people, and would do anything to protect its national assets like Huawei, one of its crown jewels.

But it’s a totally different story in Malaysia. Every now and then, the government would complain about the lack of patriotism and nationalism. They would force people to fly the national flag, not realizing that true patriotism cannot be forced or bought. At the same time, the corrupt and racist government will spew anti-Chinese or anti-Hindu sentiment to rally for Malay support.

Instead of retaining and nurturing talents, the Malaysian government would try their best to reject the top brains. The major reason the country is still battling the Covid-19 pandemic since 2020, despite having a bloated Cabinet of 73 ministers and deputy ministers, is because the quality of leaders has deteriorated from bad to worst. Their incompetence is beyond words.

Even if the current government eventually managed to vaccinate 100% of the people, the elephant in the room is the economy. Thanks to the previous clueless Muhyiddin backdoor government, the country is in a very bad shape due to Coronavirus mishandling and economic mismanagement. The return of the previous highly corrupt UMNO government will only make it worse.

Not only United Malays National Organization (UMNO), the dominant political party of Barisan Nasional coalition that had ruled for 61 years since independence in 1957 until its stunning defeat for the first time in the May 2018 General Election, has done an incredible job in draining top brains, it has also consistently robbing local Chinese companies using racist policies.

Yes, for decades, racist and discrimination policy like the NEP (New Economic Policy) derived from “Ketuanan Melayu”, the ideology of Malay supremacy espoused by UMNO, has seen brain drain in the form of hundreds of thousands of technical skills went through a large scale migration to other countries. But the racist policy is not only applicable to intellectual skills.

Local business community, especially non-Malay, has been subject to the unfair policy of having to surrender 30% stake of their business to the so-called Bumiputera (sons of the soil). But as exposed by the frustrated Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders (FMFF) days ago, the 30% requirement is already outdated. Now, they want 51% stake of your companies – clearly a daylight robbery.

In a letter dated Sept 18 addressed to Senior Minister Azmin Ali, who is International Trade and Industries minister, FMFF president Alvin Chua said – “If local logistics companies are compelled to sell a majority share to Bumiputera investors, it means the government is telling us to sell our business to a Bumiputra or close down.”

By forcing non-Malays to give up 51% of their business, it simply means the owners (mostly Chinese), who have been working very hard for decades building their businesses, can no longer control and run their companies. This is like surrendering 51% of your properties and treasures to the pirates, and at the same time making the pirates your new boss, who knows nuts about business.

Apparently, local freight forwarders registered before 1976 did not have a Bumiputera requirement. However licences registered between 1976 and 1990 require a 30% Bumiputera equity, while companies registered after 1990s must surrender 51% stake to Bumiputera. Strangely, integrated international logistics service providers (IILS) are exempted of such unfair regulation.

Unlike China, who protect local business owners (like Huawei) more than foreign business owners, it’s upside-down in Malaysia. The UMNO-Malay government actually protects foreign businesses while bullying – even robbing – local businesses. This demonstrates not only discrimination, racism and greed, but also pathetic cowardice by “kowtowing” to foreign companies.

Even though the 51% Bumiputera ownership requirement has deferred to the end of next year, largely because the current weak government is struggling to find its footing, eventually the local logistics companies will lose their shares. Either they continue working like a slave to enrich their new masters after giving up majority stakes, or they close down, creating unemployment.

Exactly why the Bumiputeras can’t build their own logistic companies, but must steal from the Chinese or Indians? Even if the Chinese give up 100% of the stakes to the Bumiputera, do you think they can successfully run the companies when they do not know the nuts and bolts of the business? Instead of promoting meritocracy, the government continues its policy of endless robberies.

It’s not hard to understand why the Bumiputeras, or rather UMNO-Malay, do not have the capability to build – and more importantly sustain – their own logistic companies, but must steal from others. You don’t need to look far, but Prime Minister Ismail Sabri, the same racist man who defended a mobile phone theft at Low Yat Plaza in 2015, just because the thief was of Malay ethnicity.

He was also the same man who, in the 2018 General Election, waved the racial card, warning that every vote for the Opposition was akin to eliminating special privileges given to Malays under the decades-old “Ketuanan Melayu”. The turtle-egg man later started “Low Yat 2” to empower Malay vendors after the racial riots at IT Mall Low Yat, only to see those half-baked tech malls shut down one after another.

Mara Digital Mall Kuantan was closed in 2018 while Mara Digital Mall Johor ceased operations in 2019. The best part was both malls were closed down within just 3 months. Even the Kuala Lumpur outlet, despite its location in the heart of the city, has been struggling for years. Instead of selling gadgets and IT equipments, vendors were reduced to selling potato chips.

If they can’t even do something as easy as selling IT gadgets, chances are they would be annihilated in the extremely competitive and complicated logistics sector. But the complaint lodged by the Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders (FMFF) is just the tip of the iceberg. Other sectors could suffer from the same racist policy, affecting the potential growth of local businesses.

Some gullible and ignorant Malays might agree with the racist policy, not realizing that it would create cronyism where politicians like Azmin Ali – not ordinary Malays – would grab the stakes and become billionaires over time. That was how UMNO warlords became extremely wealthy, while average Malays were suffering – even have to raise white flags – during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The endless “Ketuanan Melayu” policy is the reason local companies like Grab have relocated or shifted their headquarters to neighbouring countries, especially Singapore. And the local freight forwarding companies can do the same to avoid giving up 51% to the Bumiputera pirates and parasites. It would be a loss to the country, which UMNO still hasn’t figured out.

Grab was originally started by two Harvard Business School classmates – Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling – in Malaysia, kicked off as MyTeksi in 2012. But the founders also realized that in Malaysia, they must get ready to give 30% (or more) of company shares to Bumiputera. To make matters worse, the country does not provide a conducive environment for business.

Grab had tried to apply for financial grants from Khazanah Nasional, the sovereign wealth fund of the government of Malaysia. But the long process and Khazanah’s disagreement to the deal saw Singapore government investment fund Temasek quickly grabbed the opportunity, pumping US$10 million into Grab in 2014 – another example of how Malaysian talents are lost to foreign countries.

Thanks to regulatory issues, racist policies and bureaucracy in doing business in Malaysia, Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling moved the company headquarters from Malaysia to Singapore, and rebranded the business as GrabTaxi. Singapore provides a strong legal framework in addition to sound financial regulatory environment for investors – something that Malaysia could not offer.

In April, Grab Holdings announced its plan to go public in the United States, which values the Southeast Asian ride-hailing and food delivery giant at a mind-boggling US$39.6 billion in market capitalization, making it Southeast Asia’s most valuable tech unicorn. It was supposed to be a Malaysian company, but the founders moved to Singapore instead.

Phison Electronics Corporation could have been a Malaysian company too, if not for the endless racist policy. Sekinchan-born Pua Khein Seng, known as “father of pendrive” in Malaysia, was responsible for the invention of the world’s first single-chip USB flash drive controller, which was released in June 2001. After completing his studies at Pin Hwa High School, he failed to get a place in Malaysian public universities.

Pua was forced to continue his studies at Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, majoring in Electrical and Control Engineering. He had to work part-time during his three years studying in Taiwan to pay his way through university. At the age of just 27, he founded Phison Electronics in November 2000 after completing his studies, and introduced a pendrive with 1GB capacity in September 2021.

In April, 2002, Phison established strategic cooperation with System and Toshiba. In 2020, the supplier of NAND flash memory controllers and modules reported an increase of revenue of 23% to NT$47.56 billion (US$1.68 billion) from NT$38.64 billion. Last year, the company made it to Bloomberg Businessweek’s Tech 100 List of Top Performing Tech Companies.

Tommy's Book to be Banned?

FORMER attorney-general Tommy Thomas’ memoir My Story: Justice in the Wilderness will likely be banned by the Home Ministry if he is found to have breached the Official Secrets Act 1972 (OSA), said a government source.

Utusan Malaysia reported sources saying the book had defamatory elements, which was now being closely inspected by the ministry before further action is taken.

“It is understood a panel from the ministry is evaluating to see whether Thomas’ writings had violated any law or otherwise. If it is true as alleged, the book maybe withdrawn or banned,” the source was quoted saying.

The report also said the ministry was liaising with the Attorney-General’s Chambers regarding several controversial chapters of the memoir.

The book has ruffled a few feathers after numerous figures named in the book, like former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, former attorney-general Apandi Ali and former prime minister Najib Razak, contested the contents of the book.
Among the issues Thomas discussed in the books were the prosecution of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case, the troubles he had faced in the A-G’s Chambers and even his controversial appointment.

He also allegedly claimed Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was nominated as the interim prime minister by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong instead of Dr Mahathir, after Pakatan Harapan collapsed in February last year.

Several police reports had also been lodged, including Apandi accusing Thomas of slandering him. Apandi, in his report, accused Thomas of being in breach of Section 500 of the Penal Code, which deals with defamation.

He also alleged Thomas divulged national secrets in the book, purportedly violating Section 8 of the OSA and Section 203A of the Penal Code.

Former solicitor-general Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria has also lodged a police report against Thomas for tarnishing his reputation

Hanafiah said Thomas had written in his memoir that the solicitor-general was incapable of prosecuting Najib for corruption in the SRC International Bhd case.

Groups of Umno Youth members also have lodged reports in Kuala Lumpur and Kelantan demanding for Thomas to be investigated for breaching the OSA.

Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief Fadzil Ahmat said Thomas was under investigation for criminal defamation following Hanafiah’s report. Fadzil said police would call in Thomas to record his statement.

Current attorney-general Idris Harun also slammed Thomas for disparaging AGC staff, saying his predecessor does not understand the workings of the public office. – THE MALAYSIAN INSIGHT

Tommy Thomas’ critics give his book good publicity

The thing that can easily rile many Malays, especially civil servants, is their egos. It’s huge. They don’t take kindly to criticism. Some may claim that by extension, any criticism is also an attack on their race and religion.

I haven’t yet purchased a copy of Tommy Thomas’ book, “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness”, but now, like most other people, I will buy a copy before it is banned or is out of circulation.

The comments by the felon, Najib Abdul Razak, his brother, Nazir, former director-general of the Judicial and Legal Training Institute (Ilkap) Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria, former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali, and current AG Idrus Harun about Thomas’ book, have aroused my curiosity.

They are upset with Thomas’ personal opinions and have either filed lawsuits or lodged police reports. Nazir needs to read Britain’s declassified reports on May 13, and civil servants should grow up and stop surrounding themselves with sycophants.
The Malays have lost their competitive edge. They collect praise, like former police chief Khalid Abu Bakar used to collect tweets and social media likes.

For many Malays, especially those serving in the government and the civil service, ego comes first. His race and religion share equal second place. His wife may be at number 10. His mother, probably number 7.

The ranking is probably different for Malay women. Vanity about their husband’s pay-packet ranks highly, especially among the Mak Datins (Malay tai-tais). The pressure to look youthful is probably number 3 on their list.

Having been brought up to consider himself as a member of the master race, his views and outlook on life, including his self-worth are biased.

The Malay civil servant exhibits even more extreme feudal tendencies than an ordinary person. In the community, he serves those who are above him in the social ranking. The bowing and scraping are more intense if he has to address a datuk or royalty.

In his workplace, he shows deference to his superiors. The higher the rank, the more that person is worshipped like a deity. As a senior civil servant, he knows that his juniors look up to him and he is aware that, given half a chance, a few would stick their knives into his back. ‘Maruah’ matters and this explains why some are upset with Thomas’ book.

The junior civil servant has a job for life. He clocks in, clocks out, does the minimal amount of work required and prostrates himself before the people who matter. In time, he will work his way up the greasy civil service pole, in a dog-eat-dog world. Just observe how little Napoleons treat members of the public who are poor and illiterate at government counters. It’s not nice.

I recently wrote about a person who had clearly been promoted well beyond his capability, but some former civil servants disagreed.

My argument was that there were other capable people who were not ‘yes’ men, who were better qualified and whose experience in various fields would be advantageous. Meritocracy should be the main criterion, and people who are willing to question their superiors, would make better candidates.

The retort I received was that the man who had been promoted was a relative of so-and-so and how dare I question the appointment, especially as the candidate played golf with the head honcho.

So, is that it? According to this former civil servant, golf is the deciding factor. Is this how ministers are appointed? What if potential candidates for important positions pretend to miss the ball, or fluff putts, and allow the head honcho to win and make him thinks he is the best golfer in Putrajaya?

If some former civil servants prioritise golf, then you know why this country is in a mess today. You then wonder about the calibre of the current civil servants.

Perhaps, in another 10 years, when Malaysia finally hits rock bottom, the current crop of civil servants who enter retirement will emerge to demand action and reform, and call themselves the G50 group.

When asked why they did not speak up before, the former civil servants will say, “At the time, I suffered from PNS.”

For those who are unaware, PNS is Periuk Nasi Syndrome.

Payment for SYABAS and TNB

jianh — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 12:46:13 +0800

I have a property in KL area however I currently live in Sarawak, so my SYABAS bills and TNB bills get sent to my mailbox in my property, i.e. I can't view and pay them since I'm not there.

Is there anyway I could check my bills/statements online for these bills every month, so that I know how much I need to pay using JomPay?

Thank you.

LAZADA Product Genuinity

jianh — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 19:03:46 +0800

Are products sold on Lazada genuine? I sort of suspect on why prices on the products I intend to buy there, they dish out significant discount.

Products like watches are sold easily at 50-60% off compared to their official website price.

Anyone care to confirm my doubts please?
