I am divided.
I received a call from a headhunter today, advising that a company is interested to call me for an interview this Friday.
The interview is for the Regional Product Manager position.

Ofis is in PJ! Shiat man that place is like the epicenter of high living cost and intense traffic jam.
Go to work jam, balik from work jam.

Give me standard /k 20k/month also think twice to consider.

Comparing this to my current position, working near KLIA, no toll no traffic house is 25 mins from office.
Salary is so-so, but yeah dude no traffic! Like go to work hear BFM sedar sedar sampai already.

Tell me o mighty trolls of /k, what should I do?

Weird Bank Islam

neo.crazed — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 13:45:56 +0800

I'm getting some money transferred into my account from my company's overseas account.
Not that much, approx. USD$5,000.00. Suddenly baskets from Bank Islam called me, asking "We have an impending transfer from an offshore account into your account, what is this money for?"

I told them that it's my money, for personal use.
And it was money from consultancy work i had done in the past.

What business for the banks to know why the money is being transferred into my account?
Ruling out money laundering ka?

NRD quashes rumours on new Mykad for petrol

QUOTE

PUTRAJAYA: The National Registration Department (NRD) has dismissed as a rumour an instruction for people to renew their MyKad to be eligible for purchase of petrol at subsidised prices.

NRD director-general Datuk Sulaiman flying spaghetti monster said no such directive was issued.

“The false statement asking people to renew their MyKad has been spread of late through SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook,” he said in a statement yesterday.

He advised the public to ignore the rumour, adding that it was being spread by irresponsible individuals.

Sulaiman said the people could obtain the right information by contacting the department at 03-8000 8000 or by surfing the department’s website at www.jpn.gov.my. — Bernama

I mean what de hek.
If subsidy allocation is given according to IC, pump price will be expensive, and people buy petrol have to issue IC, with records of consumption of subsidised fuel. Say one fella is given 150 litres of subsidised gasoline in a calendar month. That is like RM94.50 subsidy per month. But knowing Malaysians, mesti some bugger try to work the system for free cash.

/k got innovative ideas to effectively distribute subsidy?
sometime heart got pain a bit seeing fler driving 7 series bmw, lamborghini filling up RON95 at petrol station.

Kind-hearted coffee shop operators

KUALA LUMPUR: Coffee shop and restaurant operators say they will consider setting a lower price for sugar-free beverages.

Malaysia Singapore Coffee Shop Proprietors’ General Association president Ho Su Mong said that a win-win solution for operators and consumers had to be worked out.

He said he could foresee the cost of sugar-related ingredients like milk and syrup going up as well after the price for refined sugar is adjusted to RM2.84 per kg following the removal of the 34 sen subsidy.

Since unsweetened beverages and products were not directly affected by the sugar price hike, the association – which has nearly 30,000 members – would consider lower prices for them, Ho said.

“We have to do some calculations and find the best solution. We are monitoring the impact of the sugar hike before adjusting prices,” he said, adding that 1kg of sugar can make about 35 cups of coffee.

Ho said he had told association members to maintain the current prices for about two months until new prices were decided on.

Meanwhile, the National Co-operatives Organisation urged its members in the food business to charge lower for drinks without sugar.

Its president Datuk Abdul Fattah Abdullah said: “We encourage our members involved in selling food to lower the prices of drinks without sugar since the Government wants people to be healthy.

“We have our ethics, and members are not allowed to sell products that harm people’s health.”

Abdul Fattah said the organisation had 10,700 members but he did not know how many were involved in the food business.

In George Town, the Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association said its 3,000-odd members nationwide would not increase prices for the time being.

Association president Noorul Hassan Saul Hameed added: “We understand that the consumers are already struggling to cope with the inflation and we do not want to burden them further.

“But the members cannot be selling drinks at a loss. We will hold a meeting soon to discuss prices.”

Federation of Penang Hawkers Associations president Lam Tong Ying said it was “troublesome” for the 3,000 or so members to come up with a new list of prices.

“I hope our members will not increase drink prices even after the subsidy removal.

“After all, we do not use much sugar in our drinks,” he added.

Example : One Teh O Ais : RM1.40
Cost Occurred : 80 Teabag : RM7.99 : 300 cups ; 0.0267 sen per cup
Utilities : Heating water, washing cups : 0.01 sen
Sugar : 1 teaspoon (5g) : 0.0145 sen

Yeah at product cost RM0.05 sen per cup, these tards are making 2800% profit at product cost. OK bagi face add RM0.20 for other implicit cost. that is still 560% profit per cup.
So the crux of the matter is, eventho we have useless policy makers and implementers, we are made worse off by businesses that does not want to lose even 1% of their profit in these times of difficulty.

Top MBA school in Marehsia

neo.crazed — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 03:42:20 +0800

For some reason, its quite hard to pinpoint the best business school in Mareshia. From what i know, UPM Business School, or better known as Putra Business School is the only AACSB accredited school in Malaysia. Does this mean that its the best?

What do you /ktards think?

neo.crazed — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:25:32 +0800

so if Paprik rice is inspired from Phad Prik dish in Thailand, Nasi Pattaya is omushi fabrique en Japon, what about KuayTeow Kungfu? Is it inspired from the ancient Chinese martial art, or the stereotyping soupy dishes with Chinese food?

Should Frank Lampard be offered a new contract?

Steve Mcmahon said insult to Lampard oh

QUOTE

...CHELSEA’S unwillingness to offer Frank Lampard a new contract an insult to the player.
A majority of Chelsea fans have been taken aback by owner Roman Abramovich’s decision not to offer legendary midfielder Frank Lampard a contract extension, with the Englishman almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

...How any side would be willing to allow someone as pivotal as Lampard to leave while he can still give so much is beyond me. Should the club do a turnaround now and give in to the wishes of the fans, it would still be viewed as a slight to the former West Ham man that a team he has served so loyally for the best part of his career chose to turn their back on him.

Lampard is currently serving his 12th year with the Blues, and having played 574 matches, scoring 193 goals in the process, coming through in dire times, the issue of Lampard's contract expiry has been the primary focus of the Blues' faithful.

SPAM SMSes

neo.crazed — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:11:04 +0800

This morning, from 8am to 11:58am, I have received 3 smses.

1. Free 1 Caller Ringtone from 29800. Dowan. Not a hipster/schoolkid
2. Jobstreet (63660). Got Maybank walk-in Interview offer on the 10th. From the same number also, got promotion to buy spectacles, free coffee
3. Telco send one. Telco also spamming.

Shiat ah like this.
Sakit hati handphone go bribribribriding bukak bukak somebody want to give video panas to me.

In Hostralia, the consumers get protection from receiving these type of SMSes/telesales calls.
They can enlist themselves in a Do-Not-Call list, and then if proven a telesales/SMS was still called/sent to them by these ad agencies, the ad agency will be reprimanded/license revoked methinks.

Do we have something like this here? More consumer protection please!

Frustrating Job Hunting

neo.crazed — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 12:46:49 +0800

Went to Jobstreet Career Fair last weekend.
A lot of opening for fresh grad, experienced hires also got.
But i got myself in a bit of a predicament here.

Currently i am working in an outsourced call centre.
Basically doing Internet/Phone application processing, liaison for supplier/business/corp clients.
Since its a foreign based company, movement to management level is a tad restricted. They choose to nominate their people as management, and Malaysians as execs.

I am looking for another job, but these guys pay me a bit above market, so im not salary competitive as compared to fresh grads.
Been here for 4 yrs plus now, next April 5 yrs. Thinking about moving somewhere else on a senior exec/management level.

I got Bachelor's Degree in Economics (graduated July 2011), work experience in call centre setting, and based on my lookups in Jobstreet, not many will be able to match my salary, and those who will wont accept me because education and experience doesnt tally. Murder!!

Pros of this company :
1. Salary not bad (3.4k + monthly KPI of 800)
2. Expert in my area already
3. Near to house
4. 26 days annual leave

Cons
1. Crazy KPI review, its like they dont actually want to give you the KPI (shallow judgment but hey thats what i feel)
2. No Malaysian public holiday (deduct from annual leave if want to take)
3. Insurance coverage very minimal
4. Medical coverage got a fixed amount every year, more than that have to pay ohh~

You guys think there's a better world out there?
