Car thief leaves behind MyKad at Car Showroom

THE identity of one of three men who drove off with a car from a showroom in Kota Baru was revealed to the police after he left behind his MyKad at the sales office, reported Sinar Harian .

During the 4pm incident on Saturday, the main suspect turned up at the showroom asking a sales assistant to allow him to take a car for a test drive.

After they had driven to a nearby restaurant, the suspect suddenly told the assistant that he wanted to give his two friends a ride.

When they got in, the suspect drove towards Lundang.
Kelantan deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm Din Ahmad said one of the men held a sharp object to the assistant’s neck and covered his head with a piece of cloth.

“The assistant tried to fight back but he was punched and later abandoned in a residential area in Lubuk Jong, Pasir Mas,” he said.

While lodging a report with the police, the assistant suddenly realised that the suspect had left his MyKad at the showroom.

Police are now on the manhunt for the three.

Need advice on Foreign T/T

Percival II — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:33:29 +0800

Hi guys.. I need some advice.

Three days ago, I sending some few thousands dolars from Maybank account to Citibank HK via Foreign Telegraphic Transfer (T/T)..

The HK Citibank account owned by one of my supplier.

We had more than 10 completed transaction before..

As 2 days later, she said didnt received the money..

It is weird as the T/T process only took a few hours to be transfered..

Found out I mistakenly key in the account number.

I key in 14-digit instead of supposed 13-digit.. I didnt realized this mistakes before as I use smartphone instead of dekstop. Must be typo..

My question is, is that possible for us to retrive back to money from T/T transaction?

One of mybanker friends telling me, for between local bank, the only they can do is beg for receiver to transfering back the money. She not really sure about T/T..

Anybody have experience dealing with the same problem before please advice..

If someone is a Lazy Slacker

Percival II — Sat, 30 Aug 2014 13:00:55 +0800

Hey guys.. I need your opinion on this..

If someone is a mostly lazy slacker into their 20's will they ever really change?

If an reasonably intelligent 19 to 25 year old young adult has shown very little inclination in their teen years to be an achiever or go getter socially, financially, or academically. He only moves to do something when other people force him to act..

Is there any reason to think that this behavioral trait will change as they get older?
