Govt announced that they might increase the petrol price on June 2011, then suddenly...they change their announcement where they will not be increasing petrol price for now. The citizen was glad about the news, but it is shortlive only.
Actually we got tricked!! As the electricity cost increase by 7.12, from 31.31 kilowatt hour (kWh) to 33.54 sen effective on 01/06/2011. These consumers will enjoy the old rate at between 21.8 sen and 33.4 sen.
As stated The new rate however will not affect 75% of domestic users whose consumption is less than 300kWh per month. Who are the 75% of domestic users?
If you think the 25% comprises of manufacturing and retailers sector only, where it will not "affect" the domestic, then govt seriously not saying the truth. Putting icing on the cake, telling us this??
Can the govt 100% guarantee with their life that it is will not affect the so call "75%"? :P

After election, they will announce again...petrol price will increase due to the unbearable burden of the susidy needed to pay. The mindset of today's generation are different from previously. You cannot brainwash us with pitiful words of unable to bear everything.

Friend, do not mean true friend
How to identify your true friend?
When you are in sad, they are there to give encouragemet and support.Try to make you smile. Not shun, pretending you are invisible.
When you are trouble, they are there to give suggestions and solution to solve for you.
When you fall they are there to hold your hand without any negative judgment.
A person can have be sociable and likeable, have many friends around him/her. Those being with you during your peak and happiest but left you in the ditch when smell problem. They are just basic friends where you unable to rely on them. If each person has 1 true friend, it is a blessing. If have more than 2 true friends, you really pick the right friends and damn lucky.
In this world, people getting more realistic/materialistic and friendship are secondary.

Malaysia Cost of Living
Reading this news, and I could not agree more. We are forking out our salary/money for necessity goods higher than any developed countries, or our neighbouring countries.
Govt said their vision is to have higher income in future for all malaysian citizen. Errrrrr....now only think of it? No wonder we still pathetic shape, and keep hailing those working in overseas to come back when unable to keep the existing one in good shape. All the countries hastily developing their society, zooming pass us in developing their countries in better shape than us in everything. How embrassing!! This country is a follower, not a leader. Yeah.....let's continue sitting in a comfy sofa till it flat out and watch others' passes by and we are just the cheering them on and be pat our shoulder on doing these "motivate" actions. :P
I dont think what vision 2020 will never achieve as the govt remain sitting a sofa and talk non-stop about improvement needed.. blah blah blah stuff. Move your ass and do something as we are still not there yet. Stop day dreaming and open your eyes to reality.
http://news.malaysia.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4785148
The Malaysian Insider, an online Malaysian news website, examined the purchasing power of Malaysians in comparison to nationals of other countries. The website cited a 2010 Prices and Wages report by UBS AG, a Swiss banking giant.
Here are the highlights:
The purchasing power of KL residents is 33.8% of New Yorkers; 42% compared to London, 33.7% to Sydney, 32.6% to Los Angeles, and 31.6% to Zurish.
KL workers need to labour 22 minutes for a bread loaf. In comparison, Los Angeles counterparts take 18 minutes. In Sydney, it's 16 minutes. In Tokyo, 15 minutes. In Zurich, 12 minutes.
The Malaysian Insider also compared broadband prices in Malaysia to those in countries. Even after currency conversion, Malaysia comes out on top... in expensiveness. Here's the summary:
Kuala Lumpur - 5Mbps broadband package - RM149
London - 10Mbps broadband package - GBP13.50
Melbourne - 5-8Mbps broadband package - AUD40
New York - 7Mbps broadband package - USD41.95
Here's another tidbit from The Malaysian Insider article:
In KL, a Honda Civic is priced at RM115,000 - 20 times an auditor's average monthly earnings.
In Melbourne & London, the price is respectively AUD25,000 and GBP19,000 - 3 times an auditor's average monthly earnings in those places.

Property Rental Return (reference)
I also keep links about things I need to remember. This is a reference link which good for me and others.
With the exception of houses, a good benchmark for all residential investment grade properties is about 6% (or more) rental returns. The following is the formula to determine rental returns:

Japan worst case more than decade - 2011
Japanese confronted earthquake and tsunami on 11-03-2011, till now...they are still facing earthquake and unknown whether the nuclear will be affecting them. Even they all are now facing one the worst event of their life. I really amaze with their behaviour and strength within them. Even they heavily rely on technology and one of the import countries in the world. They are one of the most grounded people. I do think other developed countries can learn something from them. A country which I truly salute and have no doubt they will able to handle this disaster with the union among themselves.
Here is something I read in the dailymail.co.uk today posted, and I could not agree more about how Japanese are mould from their parents and education given there.
"Grateful as they are for outside help, it became clear that the Japanese don't really need it — for these stoical, self-disciplined, highly organised and resourceful people are accustomed to managing on their own.
In every side-street, I found groups of people toiling, almost like worker-ants, despite the seemingly overwhelming tragedy they have faced. They swept, scoured, sifted, wheeled barrows, made neat piles — even smiling resignedly as they went about their tasks. Robert Bailey told me almost all the bodies were tagged and removed to the town's four makeshift mortuaries within hours of the water subsiding. There was no time for mourning — that will come later. 'One thing that's etched into the Japanese personality is that they must be clean and tidy and that each person is responsible for maintaining their own area,' he said. 'Complaining is not done. A teacher colleague has lost two family members, but he still had a beer with me last night and didn't look for sympathy.'

Trees vs Concrete
Last few days ago, I was driving home from office. I saw the city council peoples are cutting down all the old trees. These trees are aged more than 50 to 100 years. It is very sad as those trees are consider one of the oldest trees in KL in Jalan Ampang which also consider one of the oldest road in KL.
Now, I see the city council re-planting "miniature" plants which die easily. They just have to re-plant again every year. They rather do the easy way out that than trimming the old tree branches yearly.
Yes, miniature plants are more presentable to look at, but trees are move valuable. With the KL weather so bloody hot, it is so hard to walk with no shade around which can be offered easily by these old trees. Try to walk across the street with an umbrella is like walking inside an oven. So disappointed to see KL city will be all concrete with no trees around. It should have balance of everything in 1 place. Too bad to know the city council have lazy asses with short sighted vision.
