Several hours ago, robo advisor firm Wahed Inc was charged by SEC for making misleading statements and breaching its fiduciary duty, and for compliance failures related to its Shari’ah advisory business.

Seems serious. I don't feel safe putting my money in Wahed anymore. :/

Credit Card Purchase Protection

Mr Gray — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 11:22:31 +0800

TLDR

- Bought a lenovo laptop on its website on 9 October 2020.
- Stated delivery within 8 weeks at time of purchase
- Lenovo lied, and shipping date is end January 2021 (4 months after)
- Cancelled order, and request refund on 26 October 2020
- Lenovo has't refunded in 2 weeks, calls and emails lenovo
- Lenovo ignored, and just say wait, we check our system
- Send an email to bank, cc BNM, OFS, KPDNHEP
- Bank refunded in 2 days.

IMO not many of us know that with credit cards, there's a greater amount of consumer protection in case of unfortunate incidents where we need to dispute transaction with merchants. As we can use intermediaries (banks, card issuers (mastercard/visa/amex), BNM, OFS, KPNDHEP) to ensure that our rights as consumers are well-protected.

In my case, Lenovo sucks balls to the max. At the time of my purchase, its website shows that the item will be shipped within 8 weeks. I made my order, paid, and wait. One week after that, lenovo portal shows my laptop is shipping in November, a few days later, it changed to December, and a few days after that, changed again to late January 2021.

I am well-aware that AMD Ryzen CPU now has a worldwide shortage, but is it so difficult for Lenovo to estimate their shipping date? If it ships in 4 months, just write 4 months la, don't la lie to people and say it ships in 8 weeks.

My experience with refund with other companies, are normally quite quick, ie less than a week. After 2 weeks of not getting refund, this thing is starting to get on my nerves.

Wrote a long email, and copied to BNM (bnmtelelink@bnm.gov.my), OFS (enquiry@ofs.org.my), and KPDNHEP (eaduan@kpdnhep.hep.gov.my) on 7 November (Saturday)

BNM replied that they noted, OFS called and tell me to call them within a week, if there's no development from HSBC.

HSBC immediately replied within 1 working day (9 November) and say will investigate and get back to me within a week.

HSBC refunded me on 10 November

Got SAMAN, no amount, but need to go to court.

Mr Gray — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 09:01:37 +0800

Hi everyone,

Just got a summon from a police about a month ago. It was for driving on emergency lane. Actually I was about to change my lane, so it wasn't my fault, but the police didn't listen to me. There was no amount on that summon, but it said I need to present myself to Session Court, Jalan Duta. Anybody faced the same thing before? What if I don't go?

Nexus 7 from Amazon

Mr Gray — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:31:44 +0800

Have anybody ever bought phones or tablets from Amazon.com and shipped them to Malaysia? Is it possible to do that? Do we have to pay any import tax or any other tax?
