Tips to Survive Major Steam Sales

Rule #1:
From now until the LAST DAY of the sale, if a game is on sale as a daily deal or flash deal, you can buy it. If it is only "on sale" through the entire sale, pass. Do not buy. Save your money (you may need it).

Rule #2:
Check each day for the daily deals, and monitor flash deals. As games come up that you want, you can get them. Just continue to exercise self control for games that are not a daily/flash deal.

Rule #3:
You can purchase the large packs, such as the THQ pack or Square-Enix/Eidos pack at any time if you wish. It is extremely unlikely that those bundles will be discounted any further, even though individual games in those packs may become daily deals. If you want a bundle, go for it. Lots of games, excellent price.

Rule #4:
On the LAST DAY of the sale, Steam traditionally makes its daily deals an encore of the most popular daily deals from the previous days. Go nuts. Buy everything you wanted. Other games are almost never on the daily deals during the last day, at this point, it is safe to buy anything else you've been waiting on.

Petrol subsidy to be distributed via MyKad

Cheesenium — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:35:54 +0800

The days of subsidised petrol are coming to an end, for certain sections of society. The government’s ongoing petrol subsidy rationalisation programme is currently under study and the implementation will involve the MyKad, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan told reporters today.

Those belonging to the ‘high-income group’ will have to pay the full market price for RON 95 petrol – RM2.58 per litre at current prices. However, individuals classified under the ‘low-income group’ will continue to fill their tanks at the current subsidised rate of RM2.30 per litre. This dual-pricing will start in June 2015.

“For the middle class, some will still enjoy the subsidised rate,” the minister said, adding that it did not make sense for those driving luxury cars to enjoy 75 litres of subsidised petrol for each refill, versus 7.5 litres for the low-income group. He meant to draw comparison between the tank size of a big SUV/luxury sedan with a motorcycle.

Since targeted subsidies will be directed to sections of the rakyat via MyKad, we can safely assume that our identity cards will in the future not just show who we are, where we live and how we look like, but will incorporate data from LHDN showing how much we earn as well.

Earlier this month, the price of RON 95 petrol went up by 20 sen to RM2.30 per litre. Diesel also saw the same quantum of increase, from RM2.00 to RM2.20 per litre. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs said then (October 2) that the actual market price was RM2.58 per litre for RON 95 and RM2.52 for diesel. This means that the current subsidy rate is 28 sen per litre for petrol and 32 sen for diesel.

In Budget 2015, tabled on October 10, PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that RON 95, diesel and LPG will be exempted from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) that will come into effect in April 2015.

Suggestion for higher petrol and diesel fuel tax

Cheesenium — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 12:14:21 +0800

We’ve heard this all before, it’s beginning to sound like a broken record – why don’t we impose a petrol and diesel fuel tax on higher capacity vehicles? This has again been suggested by Raub MP Datuk Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz in his personal blog.

This is in reaction to Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan, who defended the Government on Twitter by pointing out that fuel prices in Malaysia remained the lowest in Southeast Asia. He goes as far as praising Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as the only PM to have reduced fuel prices, referring to the drop from RM2.70 (brought about in the June 2008 hike) to RM1.80 in September 2009.

The “drop” wasn’t exactly a drop, of course, as it was the introduction of RON 95, the new base fuel, that brought about the lower pricing (and at that point, it is worth reminding the Minister that the price of RON 97 had already been brought down, to RM2.05 effective September 1, 2009).

The price of unregulated RON 97 has of course gone up and down since, and is now pegged at RM2.75 per litre as of September 2014. RON 95, meanwhile, has been on a (slow) upward trajectory, settling at RM2.30 after the 20 sen increase last week. Diesel followed the same trend, now at RM2.20 per litre.

Back to Ariff Sabri’s suggestion, he says that the most “practical solution to the petrol and diesel issue” is for the Government to introduce a fuel tax on all vehicles above 1,600 cc (1.6 litre). This should be done to the benefit of the target groups, as in the lower income people, as well as to “prevent the undeserving ones from benefiting.”

Expanding on the new petrol and diesel tax, the Raub MP says it makes sense to tax the owners of bigger capacity cars and big diesel users. “Poorer people like us drive lower cc cars; the bigger capacity cars, above 1,600 cc are driven by better off owners. So we tax them,” wrote the MP under his Sakmongkol AK47 pseudonym.

Ariff Sabri proposes that a multi-tiered tax band be imposed, which would cover vehicles with capacities ranging from 1,601-2,000 cc, 2,001-2,500 cc, 2,501-3,000 cc, 3,001 cc and above. But instead of paying more at the pumps, the Government could just collect the pre-arranged tax amount at the next road tax renewal. Foreign vehicles would be taxed at customs offices.

What do you think of this suggestion – yay or nay? We say that any notion of taxing solely based on a vehicle’s engine capacity (like how our annual road tax is structured) is overly simplistic and completely outdated, especially with the recent trend of engine downsizing. Here’s a quick example: should a RM210k BMW 316i be taxed less than a RM76k Proton Inspira 2.0 just because it has a smaller engine?A more practical (not to mention fair) way is to rate cars depending on their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, where if it emits more, you pay more (both road tax and the new fuel tax, if so imposed). For much older cars, a capacity-based system may be relevant. Like, you know, how it’s done all across Europe.

Furthermore, a CO2 emissions specification has been planned for Malaysia’s new Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) scheme, so it’s clear that a precise measurement system has been thought of (or at least will be). The problem is, this would require the introduction of Euro 4 fuel in Malaysia, as our current Euro 2M fuel will result in higher CO2 emissions compared to the same engine running on the higher grade fuel.

The introduction of Euro 4 (or Euro 4M) fuel is still a long while away, judging by how things are progressing – in July, it was reported that oil companies have asked for a postponement in deploying Euro 4 fuel, citing costs, and in any case, Petronas’ Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex won’t be online until sometime in 2017 at the earliest, with sources having indicated to us that it could even be longer than 2017.

And while we’re on the subject of EEV, a system based on fuel consumption figures (for any given weight, a la the EEV classifications) would be a good alternative too. There’s already a system in place to measure how efficient a car is in Malaysia, so why not extend it to our archaic road tax structure, and if need be, the new petrol and diesel fuel tax too? What say you?

Looks like they just reduced the limit to proposed subsidy limit for engine capacity from 2.0L to 1.6L.

If it doesn't, you can still buy it at the standard sale price on the last day, and just be sad you missed the daily deal. Just remember that if you missed it on one day, it's not necessarily too late. Save money by keeping a cool head.
