Suspicious Investment Deal

My best friend invited me to a Koperasi Investment Briefing on 26^th November 2011 at Menara PGRM in Cheras which left me skeptical. I do not doubt her sincerity in wanting to share what she thinks is good business deal with me. However I think she may have been infected with the MLM fever and did not apply critical thinking to the whole deal.

Joint Investment between Fiber@Home and Koperasi Pengusaha Perdagangan Kuala Lumpur Berhad (KPPB) on 22^nd September 2011 witnessed by YB Dato’ Joseph Salang Gandum, Deputy Minister, The Ministry of Information, Communication and Cultural of Malaysia.

Source: http://fiberhomevalley.blogspot.com/2011/11/peluang-menjana-pendapatan-bersama-kppb.html (Note: this URL is not listed on their own website: http://www.fiberhome.my/ or their Facebook page. I got the link from: http://busuk.org/ping/view/41280)

This scheme is “Secured by Government”

(I take it to mean if the venture fail, the taxpayers will have to foot the bill to reimburse those who have invested in the Koperasi)

However KPPB is only officially registered on 26^th September 2011. Can a yet-to-be-registered Koperasi sign any investment agreement with other companies? Is the agreement enforceable?

The name of the Koperasi itself roughly translated into Cooperative of Kuala Lumpur Business Entrepreneurs Limited. Depending on how the word Entrepreneur is interpreted, everyone can join as even someone who is unemployed with some money is a potential Entrepreneur in the making. I’m no legal eagle, however with Kuala Lumpur in its name, shouldn’t its area of operation limited to Kuala Lumpur? However members are soliciting investments from all over Malaysia. (I have tried reading Akta 502, Akta Koperasi 1993 but couldn’t understand it).

Having been registered 2 months this Koperasi have yet to come up with its own website or Facebook page. However at the briefing slides are shown that the Chairman is one Y.A.M. Dato’ Baginda Tan Mas Dato’ Muhammad bin Haji Abdullah who is also Deputy Chairman of some UMNO branch.

This Koperasi or Cooperative is soliciting investment using MLM concept of member get member. The only difference is the bucks ($$$) stops at the level below the investor. Perhaps it can be called Dual Layer Marketing (DLM).

Or maybe not

At the briefing also it is mention that KPPB besides investing in Fiber@Home, also have investment in Taxi and Car Rental companies. However no details are given as to which Taxi and Car Rental Company. Their future investment plans for the next 10 years include investing in or opening 222 hotels and resorts. That’s almost 22 hotels/resorts per year. Is that even feasible? Does Malaysia have so many tourist arrivals both local and foreign to fill all those room-nights? What about staffing the hotels/resorts? Will they bring in more foreigners and registered them to be voters overnight?

I done some calculation and the Master of Ceremony (MC) also let slip that Return of Investment (ROI) is 78% over a 4-year period. Compare this with Fixed Deposit in bank which is 3.60% per year or total of 14.4%, this is way too high to the extent of being suspicious. 

With the general election coming, my best guess is UMNO come up with this scheme (scam?) to top-up their war-chest to fund their election campaign. After election, everything will slow down if not disappear until next election.

Never Forget How They Made Us Feel

Never Forget How They Made Us Feel

I love Maya Angelou's books and thoughts and have written a post HERE about her famous poem "I know why the caged bird sings".  Here's something that will resonate with many of us. Do leave a comment to share your thoughts. Thanks! 
________________________________________________

Don't break the elastic!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision..'

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back..'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'

'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

The Caged Bird

The Caged Bird

Throughout history, we can see that barriers have been raised between races in many parts of the world, even our own. This poem, "The Caged Bird" is another favorite of mine written by an American poet that I admire greatly - Maya Angelou.




Born as Marguerite Ann Johnson in 1928, she is an American poet, playwright, author, producer and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. She has been called "America's most visible black female autobiographer" and is best known for her series of six autobiographies, starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, (1969) which was nominated for a National Book Award and show the unity of Angelou's central themes: the injustice of racism and how she fights it. A highly respected writer, it is no surprise that she has won over 30 honorary degrees.

RATIONALE FOR THIS POST
I am doing a post about this poem tonight because its message is particularly relevant to us in the light of recent developments in our country. As I surf the net, I can feel the onslaught of vehement comments from various parties expressing their outrage and in many ways, many of us are like the subject in the poem - THE CAGED BIRD.

BACKGROUND OF THIS POEM
Divisions and inequalities have existed between African Americans and whites since long ago. For more than one hundred years African Americans have lived in a world where ongoing white supremacy and African American inferiority exist and have unjustly endured many injustices, ranging from slavery, discrimination, segregation, and racism.
In history, ultimately the opportunities have existed for whites; African Americans have been oppressed, segregated, and held back.

In Maya Angelou’s poem, “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings,” there is a clear parallel between the caged bird and the free bird, and the African American man or woman and the white man or woman. While Angelou never mentions either race it is clear that she does so through the metaphors she uses to send the points she wants to get across to her audiences. Angelou’s words speak out to an all African American audience to relate to, understand, and share the feelings of oppression and segregation, and feelings of jealousy toward the white race. Maya Angelou also speaks to an audience of mixed races and I believe many of us can identify with her voice...


I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom.

How to have a better working relationship with your boss

Copied from: masterwordsmith-unplugged: How to have a better working relationship with your boss




If you're employed or in the process of looking for a job, you'll probably be dealing with your boss on a regular basis. Your relationship can greatly affect your career advancement, salary, and overall mental well-being. There's no way around them, and it's in your best interest to put most superlative foot forward and learn how to deal and handle them with ease. Below you will find some suggestions that we believe may improve your relationship with your boss, or at least help you understand them better.


1. Keep in mind that your boss may be of help sometimes. Whether your boss has good management skills or not; he may have insightful advice for you to utilize on the job. There's much to learn from a bad boss- just remember, odds are they didn't get their job simply from their looks. Even the worst of bosses have word of wisdom or two.

2. Know and understand your boss's expectations. Your relationship is symbiotic- meaning that if you're successful in your job, so is your boss. Both of you rely on each other to accomplish tasks at hand, and your boss may have his/her boss come down on them if you fail to meet goals that were established. And we all know where the axe is going to fall if that happens- right at your neck.

3. Meet your boss's expectations. Tip number two and this one go hand in hand. If you fail to accomplish the goals and objectives your boss has placed upon you, you have no one to blame but yourself. If the task is too obtuse for one person to handle or the assignment is unrealistic in nature, it's up to you to approach your boss, enlighten him/her on your predicament, and either suggest an alternative or ask for advice on how to complete your job. Bosses across the nation would never begrudge an employee for occasionally checking on their performance status. It's a great way to find out if you're performing where your boss needs you to be.

4. Keep yourself squared away. Bosses hate nothing more than an employee that's high maintenance. They will grow to question your ability and skill if they have to check your work continuously. They'd appreciate an employee they can depend on in a crunch, and understand if you make the occasional mishap- it's going to happen and does so to everyone. Be the employee who doesn't need to be told what to do at every turn, and take responsibility for achievements as well as trouble areas.

5. Be up front with your boss. If you've made an error or totally tanked on a project, then fess up immediately with a plan of action to rectify the problem if possible. You don't want the news to reach them from one of your co-workers; or even worse- their boss or a client. This also applies to successful tasks and good news that will improve your boss's job and work.

6. Give your boss "props" in your success. When you receive accommodations for work well done, it's not the time to say that you worked damn hard with no thanks to your boss. Recognize them for their contributing factor in your triumph- even if it was so minute you can't recognize it. If your boss is truly the ogre who barks commands and never lifts a finger to help, then now is not the time to address that.

7. Don't get personally involved in your work. Easier said than done for some of us. However, when your work gets criticized you take it as a personal attack. By allowing your personal feelings to take over your professionalism, your work may start to lack- you may question your ability and produce less than stellar work. Just remember, your boss's success is directly linked to your getting the job done right and competently. Not all bosses are able to recognize this, but they wouldn't assign something to you they didn't think you could accomplish. So, get it done right the first time- just the way they want it.

8. Don't make your boss look bad. Upstaging them is one of the quickest ways to professional suicide. Correcting them in public as well as pointing out their faults will lead them to resent you. If they believe they misspoke during a presentation, but truly haven't, then you can point out that they were correct the first time. Any other situation could land you in hot water.

9. Handle your boss if needed. It's horrible to think that you may have to manage or handle your boss, but it happens a lot. It's a definite if you're looking to climb the ladder quicker then most. Manipulation in the good of the job isn't the most professional method to get what you want. But folks do it everyday- especially if their boss is less than desirable. What's better is to take the initiative, look for opportunities that will pull you away from the rest of the pack. Suggest a new S.O.P. and explain how it would benefit the business as a whole. Go further in asking his assistance to redirect upper management from saying no until you can prove it's successful. This way your keeping the boss in the loop even you if really aren't.

Cups of Coffee

I have taken this post from the blog below:

masterwordsmith-unplugged: Cups of Coffee

I have been so busy today with various chores, errands, housework and then I spent the evening with my cousin and our mutual friends by the beach. My deepest apologies for not being able to blog on any sopo issue. I will get round to it tomorrow. In the mean time, here's an oldie but goodie. Take care and have a restful evening!

Cups of coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided. So, don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead."

masterwordsmith-unplugged: The Wisdom of Dale Carnegie

I have taken this post from the blog below:

masterwordsmith-unplugged: The Wisdom of Dale Carnegie:

Dale Breckenridge Carnegie (originally Carnagey until 1922 and possibly somewhat later) (November 24, 1888 – November 1, 1955) was an American writer, lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Born in poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a massive bestseller that remains popular today.

His book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948) really changed my life.

Here's a selection of quotations from his books.

"Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think." -- Dale Carnegie

"Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners." -- Dale Carnegie

"Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said." -- Dale Carnegie

"The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way." -- Dale Carnegie

"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." -- Dale Carnegie

"When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade." -- Dale Carnegie

"Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have." -- Dale Carnegie

"If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep." -- Dale Carnegie

"First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst." -- Dale Carnegie

"There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it." -- Dale Carnegie

"There is only one way... to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it." -- Dale Carnegie

"Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment. " -- Dale Carnegie

"Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still." -- Dale Carnegie

"Applause is a receipt, not a bill." -- Dale Carnegie

"The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back." -- Dale Carnegie

"Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto." -- Dale Carnegie

"We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do." -- Dale Carnegie

"The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure." -- Dale Carnegie

"The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore." -- Dale Carnegie

"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion." -- Dale Carnegie

"You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you." -- Dale Carnegie

"The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping." -- Dale Carnegie

"Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience." -- Dale Carnegie

"Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars." -- Dale Carnegie

The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

By WALTER D. WINTLE, “The Man Who Thinks He Can.”
—Poems That Live Forever, comp. Hazel Felleman, p. 310 (1965)

IF YOU AGREE PLEASE FORWARD..dun be afraid

Received this in my email inbox from a friend with my own English translation:

Geng....contoh yg ana tak boleh terima.....
Tiap kali nak makan...kat bil dah tulis government service tax 6%.....
Masa bila yg dia servis kita tu...?...dan banyak lagi yg kita boleh
pertikai...dgn gomen msia skrg ni.....


Monday, January 17, 2011

Satu masa dulu,adik aku pernah menetap di UK selama lebih setahun. Tapi adik
ipar aku duduk situ dah lama,dekat 6 tahun.Duduk situ,kerja bukannya kerja
besar,kerja pun chef kecil-kecilan dekat restoran.Adik aku pulak kerja jadi
baby sitter.Gaji,takde la besar, tak sampai pun seribu pound tak silap
aku...tapi...

1. Baju kat sana 3 pound. Kat Malaysia baju2 tu hanya dijual di
Pavilion,KL.Baju orang kebanyakan di UK ,baju orang kaya di Malaysia .

2. Kasut Lacoste kat sana 20 pound.

3. Sewa bilik ada dapur 200 pound.

4. Transportation,takde,naik bas,naik tube,satu hari punya tiket 5 pound
unlimited ride.Tak payah tunggu lama, paling lama tunggu bas,5 minit 2 bijik
datang.Naik tube tak pernah rasa tak selesa.Ada Oyster kad,senang nak ke
mana-mana.

5. Pegi Asda ke Tesco ke, beli barang dapur,satu troli 20 pound.Lepas untuk
seminggu.

6. Tak pernah rasa nak beli kereta sebab membazir, orang kaya berlagak aje
pakai kereta ke mana-mana.

7. Jalanraya sesuai untuk bawak basikal.Adik ipar aku, main transportation
dia,basikal,undang-undang...wajib pakai helmet.

8. Tambang tube nak ke airport...3 pound.

9. DVD ori sekeping 3 pound.Aku beli Ice Age 1 dan 2 boxset 6 pound.

10. Apa-apa barang pun mcm pakaian, tak puas hati dengan produk, boleh
pulangkan dalam tempoh 30 hari, takde banyak soal asal simpan resit dan tag
tak dicabut.

11. Dan aku malas nak cerita pasal Black Friday dan sale musim panas...

12. Bayangkan anda mampu beli kereta Mercedes second hand cash... dengan
hanya mengeluarkan 500 pound. Sini? Hutang 5 tahun untuk bayar kereta second
hand.. kereta di UK tidak ada value sangat kerana... pengangkutan awam
membuatkan kereta tidak relevan dan penting dalam hidup.Perkhidmatan teksi
adalah sesuatu perkhidmatan premium sebab teksi tidak diperlukan sangat.

Bila dia balik Malaysia,

......kerja mesti kena ambik overtime, kalau tak duit tak cukup. Barang
makanan sekali pegi beli Rm200.Nak pegi beli barang pun susah sebab public
transport susah. Apa yang Ismail Sabri Yaakob pelik macam mana RPK boleh
hidup mewah kat UK kalau orang Malaysia yang kerja dia waiter kedai makan
dekat Malaysia Hall pun boleh hidup senang kat sana? Adik ipar aku balik
sini, sambil hisap rokok dengan aku dia tanya aku, "Apasal hidup kat
Malaysia ni susah sangat?"

Lagi la pelik bila menteri tanya apasal ramai orang lebih gemar migrate ke
negara lain... Tukang sapu pun boleh hidup senang kat UK . Marah pulak
diorang bila rakyat mempersoalkan "Kenapa menteri mampu hidup mewah kat
Malaysia ,layak ke diorang?"

IF YOU AGREE, Pass On

My translation:


Great...example that you can’t accept....
Every time want to eat...on the bill is written 6% government service tax.....

10. Anything at all example clothes, not satisfied with the product, can return within 30 days, no questions asked regarding keeping original receipt or not removing tags.

11. And I’m lazy to talk about Black Friday and summer sales...

12. Imagine you can afford to buy 2nd hand Mercedes – cash... with only ₤500 upfront. Here? Owe 5 year debt for 2nd hand car.. Cars in UK have not much value because...public transport makes cars not relevant or important in life. Taxi service is premium service because it is not much needed.

When she came back to Malaysia,

.....have to work overtime, if not, not enough money. Groceries each time spent RM200. Want to go buy things also difficult because public transportation sucks.

When my cousin came back home, as he was smoking with me, asked “why living in Malaysia so difficult?”

IF YOU AGREE, Pass It On.
