Please Recommend Licensed Electrical Contrator

tohca — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 17:45:25 +0800

I am planning to do a rewiring of my old double storey house in Subang Jaya. Would appreciate if anyone can recommend a reliable electrical contractor to do the job. I am thinking of doing surface wiring as it would be simpler and cheaper and would be less messy.

Is there somewhere I can obtain a list of electrical contractors?

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if anyone in this community is playing or even heard of this game? It is similar to Axie Infinity but with better graphics and gameplay.

RSI and Stochastic RSI

tohca — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 16:39:05 +0800

I am considering using RSI and Stochastic as an aid to decide when to enter / accumulate and when to exit / reduce trading in a certain counter. I am using the free TA Charts available from http://www.tradesignum.com. So far by looking at the historical performance of most (probably 7 or 8 out of 10) counters, one would be able to make pretty decent gains over time just by following these charts.

To use these charts one simply has to slowly accumulate when the line remain in the 'oversold' line below and reduce whenever the line crosses the 'overbought' line above. The standard rsi line is set at 30 to 70, but you can vary it to your preferrence.

I find the stochastic provide you more opportunity to trade but a little riskier, while the straight rsi model allows you less trading opportunity, but seems safer.

1. Would appreciate any opinions and views regarding the pros and cons of using this model.

2. How many of you guys and gals are already using this?

3. How would you rate it?

4. Which other charts do you use, either to complement the rsi or instead of it?

Thanks in advance and may all be successful in their trades.

Tax Exempt Dividends on Personal Income Tax

tohca — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:23:31 +0800

How should one treat the tax exempt dividends with respect to ones yearly income tax filings?

Should you declare it or just leave it out?

Does it make a difference to the amount of tax one have to pay?
