How can I find a list of Malaysian online stores?

putrats — Wed, 22 Feb 2017 11:08:17 +0800

Is there any source that lists out as many as possible, the online stores in Malaysia? I checked with Shopify and they said they don't reveal that info... but it's funny because if I'm a customer and I want to purchase from Malaysian online stores and browse all of them, I have to google one by one and check all the pages of search?

Online Entrepreneurs Thread (OET) v1

putrats — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:06:15 +0800

I think by now Lowyat.net should have a dedicated sub-forum for online business already... it's different from brick and mortar businesses.

Anyone listens to audiobook?

If you are stuck in traffic for 2 hours a day, you can listen to audiobook and complete one book per week, that's 4 books a month and 48 books a year.

Imagine the crazy amount of knowledge you can get just from utilizing the time spent during traffic rush hours instead of stressing out over the driver who didn't queue up or getting bombarded by ads and dumbing-down programs on radio.
