Enjoy it. Little luxury before flight. Easier these days.

Just got cheated? Well, no end in sight.
There are many good people out there. They hope that fewer Malaysians get cheated. Do read this article by Mark Reijman which is so clear about the reasons why people are still being cheated! Why the rich and the poor still fall for scams. Well, a scam becomes a scam only when people realised that…

Robotics in JB, with help of Siasun from China
If we type ‘robots replace humans’ in Google search, we can find unlimited Youtube videos about it. If we google for news, these are some of the articles: ‘Will robots replace human drivers, doctors and other workers?’ or this “Rise of the robots, what advances mean for workers.” Basically, the theme is the same. Robots will replace…

Global property bubble about to pop? Pop means ‘kaboom’
Haha. What is ‘kaboom?’ Google for ‘kaboom definition.’ It’s something like an explosion. So, you can also replace it with a simple, ‘Burst.’ Well, I do not think anyone can predict when the next property bubble will burst with full accuracy. However, we should keep track of all the predictions, especially those with some reasons…
