1 cent tak boleh, 5 cents ada?

Filed under: Malaysia

Note:I meant to write in a way that combines sarcasm and fact. I hope you can see past the sarcasm and enjoy what I’ve written. No hard feelings allright?

Right…on the Malaysian scene, 1 cent coin, will be phased out coming April 1, 2008.

Thankfully though there are guidelines for rounding them.

Guideline

Now what does that means…Simple..If you’re Malaysian regardless of your race and religion. Just expect a $9.95 sale instead of $9.99. Yup..we may as well benefit slightly from this new rule. But knowing Malaysians are always Kiasu, greedy and ultra capitalist (yup, people of all races in Malaysia is guilty of this…there is no such as thing as a conscientious capitalist in Malaysia…except of course me ;-) ). So all goods will be artificially priced ending with .99 cents so that when you’re about to pay the money, it will be rounded up!

Yup…and everybody will make noise again on how things are so expensive (valid ofcourse…but since everybody wants to make extra money, this means that everybody will raise prices never mind the fact that they’re already making profit ).

Diamond….on a Credit Card

That will give a twist to the old adage that diamond is a woman’s best friend. With the introduction of those cards, that adage would hold equally true to men as well! especially the young executives!

On the other hand, if a person loses his/her card and says, DAMN, I lost my ‘Diamond’ credit Card…well, I guess it doesn’t matter. Losing a diamond studded credit card when you’re rich is nothing really.

As for me, I’d probably be buying wait for it….computers….Yup…a technofile is a technofile is a technofile is a tech…
