Tint premium brand or top spec cap ayam?

tokdukun — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 09:20:44 +0800

Hi /k,

I want to tint my car, trying to decide between 2 options.

Go all out reputable one, I'd thought of 3M Crystalline.

Or for about half the price, get top spec cap ayam ones. Most tint shops that advertise this, they usually say it uses sputter film tech, with IRR claimed between 95 - 97%.

Which would you choose?

Careta editor tuduh Proton bohong

How sure he is nobody drives like in the challenge, the way they calculate cannot be a lie. Pretty sure they use the 'start with full tank, reset trip meter then refill full tank again' method and calculate the distance/litre fuel used. NEDC is done in a lab (according to him), while this event done in real world, how to measure like in a lab?

Meanwhile how many P2 owners get 21km/L for their daily drive? Everyone? Huh?

Proton Saga baharu - platform moden, enjin lebih mesra alam
29 August 2019

"Paling penting, pengurusan baharu dari China itu menggunakan pelbagai tektik pemasaran dan penggunaan belian media yang tinggi untuk mengubah persepsi pengguna terhadap jenama Proton.

Ini dibuktikan bila kaum Cina mula yakin untuk membeli Saga, Iriz dan Pesona, model-model yang sebenarnya masih sama secara teknikal seperti dahulu dan menggunakan enjin-enjin yang masih belum mampu melepasi piawaian EEV negara.

Wujudnya pusat-pusat pengedaran 4S moden milik kaum Cina juga menambahkan keyakinan pembeli dari bangsa itu terhadap jenama Proton kerana ia "bukan jenama Melayu" lagi.

Umum tahu, kuasa pembeli dari kaum Cina masih lebih kuat berbanding dengan yang lain."

Orang nak merdeka da esok, dia nak sakit hati cari gaduh je. Cai careta, cai careta, kenapa camni ah, [@lagista]?

Dulu Dr Li Chunrong tolong bumiputera dealers, kalau perlu support, financing access nak upgrade ke 4S, dia boleh tolong. Taaaak, sibuk potek2.

Sekarang dah laku, dengki ke 4S semua berjaya? Yang melayu dealers semua, dikejar tak dapat, dikendong keciciran.

So what kalau customers banyak cainis. Staff2, vendor2 semua banyak meleis, what's the problem?

Customers tak boleh cina, baru boleh tulis bahasa elok sikit? Dasyat.

Partnership tax computation

tokdukun — Thu, 16 May 2019 14:18:09 +0800

Hi all,

How to do partnership tax computation with below situation :

4 partners start a business at start of year, but only 2 officially registered in SSM record. In Sept, 1 left while the other 2 unregistered starts register. On 31.12.2018, only 3 partners left.

A - reg in Jan, left in Sep
B - reg in Jan
C - reg in Sep
D - reg in Sep

They agreed to distribute profit equally at all time.

Jan - Sep, Oct - Dec
A 25%, -
B 25%, 33.3%
C 25%, 33.3%
D 25%, 33.4%

How to calculate profit sharing among the partners to fill up Form P and Form B? I thought the computation will only see 3 partners as at 31.12.2018, so partner B, C and D would bear 33% of profit Jan - Dec.

But it will be tricky to tell the partners, they'd be like "but I joined 3 months only, how come I bear the whole year profit sharing?" Then there is the complication of partner C and D only registered with SSM in Sep when they've been around since Jan.

Help anyone? Got ITA section or public ruling guidance on calculating profit sharing calculation is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Want to ask : tax on return on investment

tokdukun — Sun, 10 Feb 2019 11:30:40 +0800

Hi all,

I have a friend whose company invested in a subsidiary many years ago, let's say he invested rm1,000.

Back in 2015, he closed down the subsi, all the cash and properties were transferred to his company. Let's say he got rm11,000 cash and rm10,000 land & building (l&b). Double entry would be :

Dr cash 11,000
Dr fixed asset (l&b) 10,000
Cr investment in subsi 1,000
Cr other income - gain on investment 20,000

1. Is this rm20,000 taxable? It looks like capital gain, so i think it isn't.

2. Transferring the l&b to his company from the subsi, it is subject to RPGT? Assuming they were purchased many years ago for rm1,000, is the gain rm9k subject to RPGT?

Thank you in advance.

tokdukun — Mon, 21 Jan 2019 22:20:22 +0800

Hi all,

I just got upgraded to 500MBps unifi turbo, changed the router to TP Link AC1200.

The only change i made was to change DNS. I've used 8.8.8.8, 8.8.0.0, 1.1.1.1 and/or 1.0.0.1, but it is very difficult to get to this forum. All other websites seems fine, and when i switch off wifi, i can browse this forum easily using telco data.

Anyone knows why? Thanks in advance?

After the operation Wang was told he was going to have a normal life with just one kidney, but almost eight years on, the 24-year-old is permanently disabled and dependent on dialysis.

Can mbpj saman be cancelled?

tokdukun — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 07:29:54 +0800

For the past year i parked my car at surrounding pj highway centre area, many cars park there, never got summoned before.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ksqsf

Suddenly yesterday kena, ccb, not even protruding into main road, just neatly park like everyone else. Don't know if others also kena, by the time i go back, left me only, but saman was written at noon time, so there still must be other cars parked orderly like mine.

How likely can i successfully appeal to cancel the saman? Should've taken a photo, but i didn't, shit.

Sharp or Xiaomi air purifier?

tokdukun — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 12:14:54 +0800

They both seem to work differently.

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/sharp-pl...QpLpUu&search=1
From my understanding, Sharp releases negative and positive ion to kill the bacteria, dust etc.

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/xiaomi-s...3EGHrh&search=1
While Xiaomi just straightforward filter up to PM2.5 micron.

Xiaomi pricier, but maybe I don't mind topping up a bit if it's better, maybe can recommend other air purifier within that budget? My room small, entry level 20m2 thereabout is ok for me.

I need your wisdom, /k, thank you.

Harvey Norman extend warranty for washing machine

tokdukun — Sat, 28 Jul 2018 15:01:45 +0800

I was checking out Samsung front load washing machine 9kg with new Quick Drive feature, Harvey Norman can offer it for rm2.6k.

Its general warranty is 1 year only, if topup rm770 can become 5 years.

Is it worth topping up? It can cover for example the circuit board. If 3rd time claim warranty, they can offer 1-to-1 exchange.

I know parts like circuit board can be costly to replace after 1 year warranty, so it feels like having extended warranty can give peace of mind. The salesman made it sound claiming from them is a breeze, is it really so? Or they always find excuse to taichi to user problem, so have to pay ownself for all.

How much do a modern front load's circuit board cost btw?

Apple will give fast charger in box!

tokdukun — Thu, 17 May 2018 15:33:09 +0800

"The new power brick will also charge at a higher wattage. ChargerLab says that the new brick will push 18Watts – more than three times higher than the current 5Watt charger found in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X box. Plus, the brick will be smaller than last year, with a more rounded design."

Integrity bukan budaya kita

tokdukun — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 10:36:12 +0800

So I've observed and concluded the above, we as a nation don't seem to care about integrity.

When Najib got investigated by DoJ, nobody seem to care except for the few voices from opposition and netizens, but all completely drowned by the sound of silence and ignorant of the rest. Go to kampung, what is 1MDB? Read the govt's response, all say it's secret, all protek MO1 kaw2. Question it, and you become Muhyiddin Yassin, kicked out.

Recently on fb, a macai praised Najib for all the rail developments he brought, the MRT, LRT extension etc, as well as future plans eg ECRL, HSR, MRT2, MRT3, LRT3 etc. He argued we should support Najib because of these developments, and apparently, he is not some cina bukit, he's very well educated, graduate in UK, seems to be a practicing lawyer here.

And now TMJ seems to have interest in maintaining status quo by attacking the only threat to it, and got very personal about it, when he's supposed to be apolitical.

All these have raised common question in my head : where is your integrity? Is it not important to protect our country's integrity by not electing a man who had acted in very shady manner, a man without integrity? When [@se7en] reported about data breach, the govt never demonstrated serious concern on our data's security, nothing is resolved yet, the culprit yet to be brought to justice.

Integrity is very foundation of trust, if want a functional govt, it is most basic to have someone we can trust on, that is what it means to be a leader with integrity.

But even people in /k doesn't seem to stress on its importance. Instead of seeing that we need to change the current leader as absolute no.1 periority at all cost, we dwell on the past mistakes of Dr M. We got our priority wrong, as seen in [@SonnyCool]'s thread.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4559010

I now feel we even have less right to criticize the govt after this. Who are the rakyat to say so? A rakyat with integrity? Or without?

Sekian, /k is my blog.

Samsung S9 to have stereo speakers

tokdukun — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 08:25:56 +0800

https://www.soyacincau.com/2018/01/12/samsu...ked-spec-sheet/

"An interesting surprise is its stereo speakers that are tuned by AKG. Manufacturers like HTC, Huawei, Apple and Sony have stereo speakers on their flagship smartphones which are clearly better than one loudspeaker. It is likely Samsung will go with an earpiece + down-firing speaker combo, similar to HTC’s Boom Sound HiFi-Edition speakers."

Also, the rear camera has Super Speed Dual Pixel with f/1.5 aperture and super slow-mo, could it be 1,000fps rumoured before?
