Credit Score. It’s important to know how it will affect us.
I think everyone should know something called Credit Score. In many advanced countries such as The U.S, everyone knows their score. In Malaysia, well not really. However, this is one major reason why our loan is somehow rejected by the bank even though our salary seems to be okay versus the mortgage payment. There is…

2024 is a good year indeed. Even earlier would be even better
Actually, I finished writing this article some time back. However, the mobile app and my MacbookAir had a ‘fight’ and I ended up without an article. I am thus rewriting this. To me this is a very important piece of news, especially for both Iskandar, Malaysia and Singapore’s SMEs. I have written much earlier that I…

MRT is a great option BUT not for everything and every situation lah
Dear friends, I love the opening of MRT SBK. Seriously. I have been writing and trying to persuade everyone to give it a try. Save more money with it. Then invest those savings. However, please do not come and tell me that it is a ‘cure for all.’ Especially to the one who said that…

What’s UP and what’s DOWN? My sharing, from readings.
As I have shared before, I do not usually speak in property events unless it’s an invitation from good friends. On 5th August 2017 (Saturday), I will be sharing about the topic of “What’s UP and what’s DOWN in the property market.” If you happen to be a reader of kopiandproperty.my and would like to…

Sometimes, the focus can be “Invest for stable returns,” not always for HUGE potential.
This is something close to my heart and I have written about it a few times. Stop fooling ourselves that internet related startups trying to solve a real world issue must keep losing lots of money for potential earnings in future. Those investors who invest in all these could have invested in something better actually.…

Not all well in the printing world, will get harder?
Many reports have been written about how the internet is helping online retail sites to slowly take more market share from brick and mortar retail outlets. I personally still shop much more at malls than online sites. My favourite online site? 11street.my Somehow when it’s a pair of shoes, walking in it feels better than just…

In essence, this is also happening here; Malaysia
Malaysia’s property market is a small one. Mostly local buyers. In fact the secondary cities are not even considered by most of the property investors. Well, in China, even Tier-3cities are undergoing rapid changes. Some have prices which are increasing faster than other more established cities. Sometimes, we would ask why are the prices still…

Be healthy plus doing charity for Joblink. A little goes a long way.
Many times, we forget how fortunate we are. Many times we want to be healthy but chose to postpone it. Many times we forget that just RM50 could actually help many. The chance is here, especially for those living in Penang. Cycle to be fitter. Help people help themselves. Message from Stephen Soon, President 2017-2018 for Rotary…

It’s faster for me when I drive to work, nowadays.
A good friend who’s the co-founder of a very famous startup here in Malaysia was asking his friends if they feel that the jams within the Klang Valley has become better ever since the launch of the MRT Sungai Buloh – Kajang. Very few said it’s the same while most were sharing that they felt…

Flat for 6-9 months more. Property Malaysia.
First of all, I disagree that the Malaysian economy is doing badly. I think it is bad for some but very good for some of those who managed to grab the right opportunities that come along. One very good example, I guess the more traditional businesses such as brick-and-mortar retail are facing lots of pressure…
