Just migrated to android from iOS. Currently using the mate 20 pro.
As I'm still new, does android back up the complete phone data via the default google backup? iCloud pretty much back up everything in the phone but I'm unsure about android.

Any app you could recommend for backing up (pic, whatsapp, wechat message) all at one go.

Personal Loan with Reducing Balance?

minde — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 11:13:31 +0800

Hi all,

Am looking to take a 3 year personal loan to purchase a motorcycle. I have access to government preferential rates which is cheaper than taking a motorcycle loan but their minimum loan amount (MBSB) is much higher than what I need (2x more). Hence I might forego the government rates.

I'd like to consider any reducing balance loans instead as it may be cheaper. May I ask if there are any with reducing balance in Malaysia? Am I right to make this assumption?

Please advice
Thanks

Asus Zenbook Flip UX461U

minde — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:33:59 +0800

Hey guys,

I'm looking at two Asus UX461U models, the AE1094T and AE1139T. The 1139T is cheaper with 512GB but the AE1139T variant is more expensive with lesser storage space. Find it kind of strange for the price gap, Both are SSD.

May I know what's the reason for the AE1139T to be priced higher than the AE1094T?

Submission of Form C - Companies

minde — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 14:49:04 +0800

Hi,

So I'm planning to strike off my company shortly and my accounting year end is 31 Dec 2017. In the past I've engaged a tax agent to calculate and make the tax submission. However this year to save cost, I plan to do it myself. I'm aware of the correct tax treatment, however in Form C e-filing, they do ask for tax agent number.

Can I ask if tax agent is mandatory for tax filing? Do i leave that info blank?

Thanks

Proformance Exhaust - Z650

minde — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 10:32:31 +0800

Hey,

I'm trying to find an exhaust for my z650. With the limited/no availability of international branded exhaust at the moment (akra, yoshi etc), I was thinking of just getting the local made Proformance exhaust.

More on sound and losing some weight from the stock exhaust. +HP/torque would be a bonus.

Anyone have any experience using this brand of exhaust before, particularly on a parallel twin engine? Any comments on sound, performance and quality?

Thx
