How to survive in such bad times...

Im staying in Singapore at the moment. But, looking at the way things are going, im going to re-structure my lifestyle... to benefit from it.

1- Driving in Singapore, its so costly. ERP, Carpark is exp, Rental is high. I'm moving back to Msia.
2- Rental in JB is RM 1500 for the WHOLE apartment with condo facility. HDB SGD 1300 (3 RM flat)
3- And best part, its fully furnish. Average utility bill for 2 aircond running non-stop every night is approx RM 200. In SG, its about SGD 120 if you know how to save.
4- Char kuay tiao - RM 4.50, SGD 3.50
5- Buying yourself a 2nd hand 3 series - RM 120k, SGD 90k
6- Golfing - RM 10.00 for 100 balls. SGD 6.00 for 100 balls. Green fee - RM 80, SGD 67
7- Bak Kut Teh - RM 30 for 2 person, SGD 25 for 2 person.
8- Getting robbed for showing off - 10x possibility in Msia/ 3 x possibility in SG (given recent cases)
9- Cable vision fee - RM 120/SGD 60-80
10- Parking at apartment - RM free/SGD 90 monthly

You can stay there, but never work there....

See you @ causeway!

Petrol down again..

Muahahaha!!

PETALING JAYA: Petrol and diesel prices have been slashed by a further 15 sen per litre from today.
The new pump price for RON97 is now RM2 per litre while RON92 will be sold at RM1.90 per litre. Diesel will be at RM1.90 per litre.
The latest price cut, the fifth since August, was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday.
Najib said the reduction was made in line with falling global petroleum prices.
Yesterday’s price of a barrel of crude was about US$56.
Najib, who is also Finance Minister, urged traders to lower prices of goods and services to fully benefit the people following the fuel reduction.
“The people should also continue to use petrol and diesel sparingly despite the lower price in line with the Government’s efficient energy consumption plan,” he said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the Government had kept its promise to reduce petrol prices.
Abdullah, who is on a working visit to Uzbekistan, said consumers should boycott outlets which refused to lower prices.
“I have been told that there is a non-governmental organisation spearheading this move. They have my support,” he told Malaysian reporters in the Uzbek capital Tashkent.
He said the people would be angry with the Government because prices of goods were still high.
“The Government had kept its promise but traders are not doing their part,” he said.
Abdullah said more NGOs should come forward and advise consumers where to shop.
“You can work together and get consumers to shun traders who pofiteer. We have to do this or else prices would not come down,” he added.
Meanwhile, petroleum dealers said they would feel the pinch with the latest fuel price reduction.
Malaysian Petroleum Dealers’ Association acting president Abdul Wahid Bidin said: “We hope this reduction will be the last. Otherwise, we won’t be able to plan ahead and doing business will be very difficult.”

If I am prime minister

top ten things:

1) Abolish ISA - well, this is just to gain some popularity. :)
2) Improve the bloody traffic condition @ causeway and tuas. Why? If its easy for Singaporeans to come shopping, economy of Johor can be improved. Ppl will have jobs, crime will go down.
3) Rather than focussing on building new condos, apartments, I will re-vive all the stalled projects. If I cannot ensure stalled projects can be revived, how can I ensure new projects won't stall?
4) Let market determine oil price. Rebate will come in cash to Malaysian. This can ensure that only Malaysian enjoy the benefit of 'subsidy', 'rebate', or whatever you want to call it. I dont care.
5) Make sure all my civil servants can speak english. How to be 2nd home to foreigners if these foreigners cant even get through the immigration processing department? - you will be surprised by the number of civil servants that can't speak english.
6) I will legalize vice activities but slap high tax on the industry and regulate them by centralizing it at Bukit Aman. Cant beat them? Join them and put them next to your police force.
7) Taxi licenses are to be issued only to individual. Company that wants to be issued with Taxi License will need to recruit a taxi driver, and pay them a fixed salary for each of the taxi issued under company name.
8) Only hot babes can work under me. or underneath me.
9) Kill off corruption - install CCTV/Speed cam on every available trees/traffic lights/lamp posts. Police summon cannot be issued on the road, only arrest can be made. Summon will automatically be issued once it captures the crime in action. Try bribing the camera.
10) Improve relationship with singapore. Yes, you hear me right. With almost a quarter of your Johor population on their payroll and businesses need them to spend here, do you still need me to explain further?
11) Offer citizenship to David Beckham. - No more need to advertise Malaysia as a 2nd home. Many will come to us.
12) Introduce 500 layers of QC on Proton/Perodua's power winder parts. Mine broke down last week.

There you have it.. if im a prime minister... i will be a damn good one...
