Kijang Emas Buying and Selling

David_Yang — Sun, 22 Nov 2020 17:08:08 +0800

Strange enough that we are one of the only 17 (!) countries in the world with their own gold bullion.

Next year our Kijang Emas has 20 years anniversary. Wonder if Bank Negara has any special plans to celebrate with special edition.

Sadly the Sell/buy spread is crazy high: https://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=statist...stic_kijangemas

Maybank follows the BN prices 1 to 1: https://www.maybank2u.com.my/maybank2u/mala...and_silver.page

Honor Chinese Cellphones - now just useless bricks

David_Yang — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 14:16:58 +0800

I want to warn everybody to buy a Honor or Huawei cellphone in and from China now. I know they are much cheaper than here, but even in China nowadays they are unusable because they block everything from Google.

You cannot install Google Playstore or any other service that is needed to run Android properly.

I lived in China for some month before and came back home with my Honor 8x from there. Before leaving China I went to the Huawei Service Center to get the Malaysia Android version from them. They were friendly, but refused, because of Chinese Goverment regulations I only can do this at the Huawei service center in my home country. Unfortunately the Huawei Service Center in Ipoh probably is the worst in the world. They just want to make money with you and are unfriendly and unhelpful.

They ask me to pay about RM 1800 (!!!) to get the system changed to Malaysia

I wish I never would have changed from Samsung to Honor. Yes, Honor is much cheaper, but Samsung is a worldwide brand with woldwide accurate service.

If anyone has a tutorial how to install Google Services, Playstore ... on my useless 8x brick, please let me know.

Alpha Smart revo Water Heater pump not working

Strange, the pump of this water heater makes sound like working after installation, but the pressure is always exactly the same, no matter if pump control knob is on zero or max.

Strange also, the Line Fault indicator is not red and is not green. It is always blue which is not mentioned in the manual.

Anyone has idea what is going wrong here?
