A question

theinvestor — Tue, 29 May 2007 19:45:44 +0800

I'm too lazy to search the forum so I want to ask something:

1. Had anyone sent a complaint to any newspaper (other than common rant, I don't get streamyx, streamyx so stupid, so slow, etc.) on the way tmnet handled their clients or how they do their business? if yes, can you give me the article?

I'm going to send many, many letters to all surat khabar in Malaysia, going to see what happened. Maybe we should gather our money and buy a full page ad on the front page of NST saying;

"So TMNet, I am happy to say, I, and thousands of others are unhappy, indeed, extremely unhappy the way you handle us, your clients."

and below it, "We are UNHAPPY and please, don't make us laugh at our own national broadband provider."

Just a thought.

I have more questions but I forgot already, so mod, don't close this thread just yet.

btw, I am writing an article on this issue. Hope when I send it to newspaper, they will post it without any editing done to it.

Chat to make Money

Many of you know that it is essential for people to network with 'the right' people to succeed in online marketing, business and even personal relationships. Unfortunately, not most want to get pain in the ass trying to network with others - they opt to be comfortable in their comfort zones.

So, when I'm just thinking and thinking... I've thought of this:
Why not create a thread to let people give out their contact information and start network
(I personally think it's so simple and so stupid!)

Benefits of Networking:
- Enable people to sell their stuffs
- Enable people to laugh
- Enable people to share knowledge on... anything
- More business opportunities (I'm not talking about Ponzies, MLMs and such!)
- Carik jodoh (if you want)

People, share your IM id here and start networking and start making some serious money online, better finance management and have a nice day.

*This first post will be updated everytime people post their IM id (manually)...

Islamic Point of View

theinvestor — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 16:00:09 +0800

Hi everyone. I join this forum under a new username (previously ________, you name it) and I will be focusing on this subforum, technical support and on software forums (specifically on internet services).

Anyway, today I would like to present to everyone an article on what Islam says on FOREX (which I believe to be beneficial to every muslims and make the non-muslim more aware on what Islam says on FOREX).

Belows are the links I've found on Google:

http://vlib.unitarklj1.edu.my/htm/islamforex.htm

QUOTE(From above website)

There is a general consensus among Islamic jurists on the view that currencies of different countries can be exchanged on a spot basis at a rate different from unity, since currencies of different countries are distinct entities with different values or intrinsic worth, and purchasing power. There also seems to be a general agreement among a majority of scholars on the view that currency exchange on a forward basis is not permissible, that is, when the rights and obligations of both parties relate to a future date. However, there is considerable difference of opinion among jurists when the rights of either one of the parties, which is same as obligation of the counterparty, is deferred to a future date.
