Recently found out about the ability to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus if we use a service such as UnoDNS, which can be found here UnoDNS

They offer free trials and seem to work well.

Wonder if others have comments on their service after using over a longer term?

Addition of named driver to motor policy

Hi,

Need some advice.
I am about to renew my car insurance and was thinking of including my younger son as a named driver.
He is 18 and will take his driving test later this month.
From the on-line quotation, there is a loading of more than RM 100 in addition to the RM 10 charge for the additional named driver.
Also, I understand there is a compulsory excess for drivers under the age of 21.
Is it necessary or advisable to name him?

<WTA> Best short term returns for excess funds

y2k — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 10:06:27 +0800

I recently withdrew some of my EPF funds with the intention of paying off my housing loan.
However, I later found out that I would incur a penalty if I paid off the loan before September 2013.
As such, I hope to get some advice on how to maximize the returns on the excess funds for a term of about 9 months with low to medium risk.
Some of the options so far:
1. FD
2. Foreign currency FD
3. Gold investment account (bank)

Advice from any gurus here would be greatly appreciated.
I know there are a lot of threads on investment in this forum but it is rather difficult to digest.
