Easy Profit Via SMS

Why easy money? This is a real story from a 33 years old guy. He worked as a manager in a SMS department under a telecommunication company. He has simply earned RM11 millions in less than 2 years. All he needs to do is just help the advertisers to send adult SMS to the users, and in hope they will subscribe the videos, pictures or stories. Darn, I should have work in a telco SMS department!

Have you try to subscribe these stuffs before?

According to the reporter, his basic pay is about RM4,000. But he owned a Porsche and a BMW. Sorry, these 2 babies cannot satisfied him. He also just booked a Lamborghini for RM1 million before he being caught. If not because of the complaint by the users and the luxury lifestyle he is having , he should be safe and continue to enjoy his super lucrative side income.

See, that's why our local mobiles are always spam by the idiot messages nowadays. Someone is selling our mobile information to the advertisers, or the stupid China lucky draw and credit card info stolen scams. I fully salute with these people, their minds and ideas are just too brilliant in making money, but used them in an inappropriate way.

Now, do you still believe you are so lucky with surprise income?

Anyway, easy money flow-in and out easily, just like people who hit huge lottery jackpot. If you don't save and spend wisely, you will end-up go back to the default situation. Have fun, folks!

National Car, Proton

Look at Malaysia national car, Proton. It just announced it's net profit of RM85 millions for quarter 2 this year, and it has just turn loss to profit from June 2009 to June 2010 last year, total of Rm269 millions. Are you satisfy with Proton earnings?

Well, I'm a Proton user. I drive Proton for more than 10 years. Am i satisfy with Proton product? Definitely no. I cannot remember which part of them I have yet to change, repeatedly. To be frank, I bought it because it is cheap and easy to get support, not because I love Proton or support national car. We all know, Proton quality is always below expectation. If not because of the vehicle tax, we should have go for Japanese imported car.

The 1st national MPV in 2010. Looks cool right. Quality? I'm not sure. 

From the car selling statistics up to July 2010, Proton is the 2nd top seller in Malaysia. The top seller is Perodua.  In a nutshell, Proton definitely has an edge within the country, because most of the people have not much choice but to buy car from Proton or Perodua (2nd national car brand).

If this is the case, Proton should have make good profit every year with the government protection, isn't it? How come it can make a net loss of RM318 millions from June 2009 to June 2010 last year? Is it because the CEO and other directors pay are just too high? Or the management is sucks? Well, there are just too many negative stories about Proton.

The latest version of Proton Saga is cheap. Quality? I'm not sure.

From the mid of last year , I have heard Proton Managing Director, Dato Zainal Abidin said that he feels shame when he hear his friend complained that their Proton family car quality is bad and there is problem here and there. From the speech, he wanted to slash down the massive car part and accessory suppliers from hundreds to few, develop more attractive models, and improve the quality of the product. These objectives seem are the right things to do, in the first place. I'm not sure whether these objectives are achieved by now, but from the look at the financial results, it seems Proton has improved under the lead of Dato Zainal Abidin.

Car is about driving satisfaction and less problem. If Proton manages to overcome the later problem, I believe we will have less complaints as well. Good luck, Proton.

Thank You, Dad

How did you celebrate your father's day this year? Well, since my dad and I were working in different countries and the day is a working day, I only can call and wish him in the evening and our topic in the phone was about world cup 2010 and my mum. 

I attended a good friend wedding dinner on last night. I was surprised by the bride's father. He was so active that he became almost the host and the man of the night on last night. He gave a speech to thank his special guest and talked about his daughter funny story in the beginning of the dinner. He also gathered some of his mates to play band to entertain the crowd.

Don't you think this should be the saddest and the most proud moment for a dad?

I think he must be someone who very active in the church. This is my first time to see a dad hosting the wedding dinner like this. The bride must be very proud of her dad! I can't imagine what will my dad do for me for my future wedding dinner. In fact, it doesn't matter. Even though my dad doesn't know how to play guitar or give a speech, and even having very bad temper and scold people very often, I'm absolutely honor and respect him as a dad. I still remember he spent most of his savings to allow me to go further study during his hard time and he tried to give his best to the family.

I know the local culture is not used to carry the words like 'I love you' here and there, I still see fathers always show their loves and support to their children. 

Thank you, dad.
