1Malaysia for business

Datuk Tony Fernandes hoped that our PM could walk his talk – 1Malaysia, by not only liberalizing 27 sub-sectors but more, better still all. Read more here.

Monopolization of certain business has killed creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Datuk Tony Fernandes cited Malaysian Airport Berhad as an example. MAHB monopolized ALL airports in Malaysia and Datuk Tony was doubting how much the airports have been effectively developed? Are they contributing as much to the national and local economies as they should?

I myself would like to cite TM as an example. Our telecommunication sector is almost monopolized by TM. Most of the telco providers have to base on the infrastructure of TM, eg. XOX Com, U Mobile, etc. Broadband industry is also monopolized by TM (Streamyx). Another clear example of monopolization is the 3G license which was not awarded to Digi. Digi is coerced to sell its interest to TimeDotCom (a GLC) to transfer TimedotCom’s 3G spectrum to Digi.

While other countries are enjoying better communication and broadband services at lower prices, we, have to pay hefty price to ‘enjoy’ lousy services. This is just one of the MANY examples of monopolization kills creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Dear PM, please, liberalize the telecommunications sector (and all other sectors), too, for the sake of national interest.

Driving Tips

Did you know…

Many drivers often misuse their car’s hazard lights when they activate it when driving under heavy rain conditions. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the ideal thing to do as the blinking lights, disoriented by the rain, will distract a driver’s vision and judgement.

Take note, never activate your hazard lights under heavy rain conditions. Just ensure that both your headlights and taillights are turned on and are in proper working conditions.

Hefty car import duty

My friend just bought a new Honda Civic 1.8S. That stirs up my interest to find out more about this car.

The on-the-road (including insurance) selling price at Peninsular Malaysia is RM 114,980.

If you buy it at Langkawi (Duty-free port), the price is only RM 74, 980.

The price difference is a whopping RM 40,000 !!!!!! You are actually paying RM 40 K to the gahmen just to buy that car!!!!

What are you worried most?

There was a survey done in UK with children aged 6 – 12. The survey wanted to know what were the children worried about most?

The answer was shocking! These UK children were worried about the bad economy and deteriorating public security.

HUH???? Economy??? How could children aged between 6- 12 worry about the economy?

I don’t even know much about money when I was 12 years old.

What did this survey reveal?

Sumptuous lunch

My lunch, consisted of fried squid, nasi tomato, spaghetti, vegetables, mutton, chicken, fried fish, chicken.. all in a plate!!!

Interest rate of car loan

Interest rate for national car has been lowered while the rate is increased if you’re buying imported cars.

HUH??????

Why are we still protecting our national cars?

They should be allowed to compete with other car makers at a level playing ground so that they can be more competent and able to survive in international market.

Sigh… Malaysia is indeed moving backwards…..

Judges acted above law

Article 72, Clause (1) of the Federal Constitution clearly states: The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court.

The front page of The Star newspaper of Friday, 17 April 2009 carries this startlingly outrageous decision of the Federal Court. The headline proclaims: “Court: Siva does not have right to suspend seven”.

The Federal Court has unanimously ruled that Perak Assembly Speaker V Sivakumar does not have the power to suspend Mentri Besar Datuk Zambry Abd Kadir and six state executive council members from attending the assembly.

It granted a declaration that the seven assembymen were entitled to take part in all the assembly sittings and to carry out their duties.

Saya Pun Melayu – Zaid Ibrahim

Full credit is given to Din Merican for writing the book review below:

Saya Pun Melayu, the first to be written by Zaid Ibrahim in Bahasa Malaysia, is his second book following Zaib’s In Good Faith which received popular readership in 2007. The book opens with a Forward by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

It is written with four objectives in mind. First, Zaid intended it to be read by Malays so that they can deepen their knowledge of fundamental issues. He says, ” Hanya dengan ilmu mereka dapat mengatasi kejahilan tentang perkara-perkara asas… Membaca Utusan Malaysia sahaja tidak akan mengembangkan pemikiran mereka…Membaca memang menambah ilmu. Dan ilmu itulah yang akan menukar nilai dan pandangan.Itulah yang memajukan orang Melayu”.

小地方(居銮)的“点心”

你有看过一间点心店只卖10样点心的吗?就只10样哦。。。我长这么大,第一次看过这样的店,不过这店是开在小地方啦-居銮,如果老板开在槟城或吉隆坡,那他肯定倒闭,哈哈!

请看看以上的menu,真的只卖10样东西而已哦。

就是这家在居銮的点心店-泉泉包点,只卖10样东西。而且店里不卖中国茶,只有普通的茶水:咖啡,100 PLUS, 等等。

没得泡茶,这算哪门子的点心啊?

吃点心,配咖啡,太怪了!!!!!

虽然只卖10样东西,而且没得泡茶,但还是满座!!!客似云来!!!

酒气飘香鸡肉滑

昨天星期五的午休特长,所以就特地下到新山市区去寻找美食。

这一档瓦煲鸡饭生意特好,魅力应该是来自于鸡肉吧!老板主要采用鸡腿肉,以蚝油、黑酱油和花雕酒等腌上至少3个小时。所以,一靠近瓦煲便闻到扑鼻的酒香,入口后鸡肉更是嫩滑够味。老板坚持用火炭,虽然火候较难控制。还有一件新奇的事:老板将瓦煲倒过来煮!原来,老板将饭煮熟后,才加入鸡肉,接着将瓦煲倒过来煮。这样一来,放在最上面的鸡肉可以比较快熟。

基本上,这瓦煲鸡饭味道不错,只不过鸡肉给得很少,价钱也昂贵(新山的食物都卖得很贵!),一人分的要RM6。我叫了两人分,要付RM12呢!

Prices Subject to Change According to Customer’s Attitude. If you are arrogant, grouchy, irritable, or just a pain in the ass, there will be a RM10 charge for putting up with your shit.

(WTF??????)20090410029

This chicken rice cost me RM12!!!!! SOOooo expensive, but this is the price you have to pay in JB…….

贴士:瓦煲鸡饭会附上一小块咸鱼,记得将咸鱼先捣烂后才加入饭内,才可以不露痕迹地品尝到咸鱼香!

New Cabinet Lineup

Koh Tsu Koon, the man who was rejected by Penangites has been named the minister in PM’s Department.

But he is not alone, Shahrizat, who also lost in the GE, was also named a minister.

Tony Pua commented that the cabinet is consisted of too many political rejects. If those people who lost in GE can also hold ministerial posts, what’s the use of holding GE in the first place?

Khairy won the UMNO Youth chief post but was not given any posts while his Deputy was appointed as a deputy minister. What happened to Khairy? Why did our PM make such a decision?

Well, let’s give this new cabinet some time to prove themselves. But, just don’t put in too high hope!

人生道理

今天我悟了一个消极的人生观:

人生何须努力拼;

一切命中早注定!

不知你是否有同感呢?
