Unifi is here, no more "webe".



It seem much cooler displaying Unifi on top left of your mobile phone instead of "Webe". "Unifi" is synonymous with high-speed internet connection nationwide. Besides, it is always a delightful to call their customer service hotline as they provide top-notch solutions.



The latest move by Webe more likely upgraded 4G availability and stability. It is easier now to receive 4G mobile Internet connection after changing their name from "Webe" to "Unifi". However, there are no changing of title in their official website.


The move could be a marketing strategy to lure more people into subscription as Unifi is a trustworthy brand as good as Streamyx. 


   



Using high-speed connection playing mobile legend is a half good example. Mobile game does not consume much data. With this Unifi turn on in your mobile phone, Mobile Legend obtain green latency all the time. Do tune on either 3G and 4G for research as your area might be having strong 3G signal. 


I do not fully know about this just to assure 3G signal is very strong and still very good option and on mobile legends bang bang average ping is 50 - 100 easily score a green latency.

Even though we can pretend we are adult but the heavy tax imposed by the authorities really put us off as one simple and normal alcoholic drinks are priced at more or less RM8.50 in an amount 300ml to 350ml.



Last but not least, the religion strongly against consuming alcoholic drinks. Some of us think alcoholic drinks must be really bad to the extent it goes opposed by religious teaching.



It might be true Millennials are not drinking that much now. In fact, they do not find it is good to drink what the elders have been drinking all this time.  In order to attract younger generation, the company behind alcoholic drinks are introducing the health-concerned alcoholic drinks to the market with as low as just 4.5% alcoholic content.

Investment & Economy Class 101



Modern day saving in the 21st century is not about putting money in the bank and wait for dividend. Modern day saving is "Fixed deposit". I am not an expert but everyone should know this and make it a practical lesson.


Fixed deposit is not a new term or something confusing. It is just a logical way for bank to put more money into your savings while set a rule on the money. The rule is you have to place RM1000 for a period of time. It can be 2 months for the bank to invest and give you a return of investment.


If I can learn more about economy which I would as well as all the people out there, Fixed deposit has always been fighting the inflation rate. Inflation rate is price goes upward without any sign of going down. It can be like a slow music but it never stop playing.


Salary earners must embrace fixed deposit as a solution for the coming price increase of common goods the recent one would be the cooking oil (2016) !

Maybank is a friendly bank with little or not deposit in opening bank account. In fixed deposit investment, RM1000 for two months is a practical way to kick start your way ward off nation's inflation rate. 


The return of investment is 3% annually. In a correct assumption that RM1000 will yield RM30 in a year. RM30 must divide by 12(annual) in order to calculate monthly yield. The yield of one month is RM2.50 only.
