SSM without revealing the name behind?

Kelly_Sim — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 20:46:01 +0800

me and my partner wanted to start another business, but part of my worry is that my current brand supplier would cut us off straight away.

I was thinking to get another brand in to sell. But SSM either enterprise or sdn bhd will reveal all names.

One way i can do it is to use my elder daughter's name since she is already working age. but i concern the family name may let me brand supplier find out.

Do you guys know how to do it?

Strawberry Gen cant survive w/o Rational Thinking

Back in 1986-87 when market crash, economic downturn, I remember our family went through the hardest hit to our daily lifestyle.
My dad lost his job, and my mom had to take care of my youngest brother. Back then I was around teenage.

Dad had a bachelor in engineering. But the company he worked closed down.
Our emergency funds have about 4-7 months, which is quite okay considering that time.
As time goes by, our food stock runs low, and dad cannot land a job within his skills, which was anything related to engineering.
Who would have thought there were times we needed to spend more on health issues like dental, and my mom's prescription glasses (because she fell down and the glasses were broken), and dad's mom, my grandmother's health care? Very quickly or funds went down to less than half a month

My dad had no choice but to keep looking for any kind of job, from kopi shop to car service, and even to help out delivery Pasar Malam goods to the vendor. He got 2 jobs just to secure food on the table. Mom has to start to look for a job, she managed to find some small income from a bookkeeping job.

Today, he is a retired man with a company he built himself that value can have him retire until the end of his life. He found this company when he was working in a general job, not even related to his engineering skills. Who would have thought about this? None of us. He was so skilled in engineering, machinery building and etc. But he had to leave it behind to find food for the family, and that he found his new passion.

This was a lesson he taught many of us and our grandchildren, my children over many occasions.
To be able to endure in any hardship, not to linger at the old sweet moment you had. Let it go if you need to,
In mandarin terms, he means if the mountain is still green we can still have branches to burn to warm us.

While looking at the situation today, I notice that many who got retrenched are still being choosy for their next job.
You can have 10000 dollars pay for the previous job had sweet moment of your life.
but if you can't get even 1 job after being retrenched, you are left with 0 pay.

When you think you are degrading the 2500 dollar income offer from your next potential job, degrading that that's foreign worker's pay or whatsoever
you are putting yourself into a big risk. Unless your emergency funds can carry you countless months, then you can stick with it and wait for better opportunities.

recession is the time where we have to think about how to survive, how to get about to get food for ourselves, our families.
The crisis is not even started yet, do get some preparation before it starts.
