Many lalang back to Lazada from Shopee

I rmb few years ago many hated Lazada and then started supporting shopee because got more generous free shipping voucher and coinback. Later they slowly reduced those perks, prevent buyer from choosing courier, used a lot of jnt & shopee express that apparently has worser performance comparatively. (I mean which courier companies is faultless eh?)

Fast forward today, many is talking about using Lazada exclusively again.

Edit: Rmbered very clearly how many raged at lazada few years ago, for almost the same reasons.

What is the future for 4D business in Malaysia?

Guys, trying to understand more about 4D lottery business in Malaysia. I see mostly older generation playing it, younger ones not into it, maybe too old-school edi, must go physical shop summore. I could be wrong but I rmb the 4D business is heavily tied to a franchising business model where the co-owner gets a cut from the shop's sale so it's difficult to transition to an online model. Those shop owners will be losing sales in that scenario.

Politically, gambling is getting more n more socially unacceptable so the majority so Pas especially has been highlighting a lot of negativity about it.

Morally, it has its fair shares of arguments. I think with regulation, its better than nothing. If not, illegal one will sprout.

What say you ah?
