10 Best Dual SIM Smartphones in Malaysia

Robert's Google+



They do not want two smartphones, they just want two SIM in one smartphone.


There must be a market for Dual-SIM smartphones but I never understand that why. A sizable and considerable market share is in Dual-SIM smartphones . Consumer all around the world are uniquely different. Some prefer bigger screen especially women. Some prefer keyboard-alike smartphone Blackberry. Some even prefer camera-oriented or waterproof or aluminium body.

There are endless demands as we know today. It could be the same in smartphone market as well. Last year 1 billion smartphones have been manufactured and distributed all around the world. The figure does not stop there it keep rising. We have nearly 8 Billion population. Let say 2 billion is a 10 years old below and they are not necessary having a smartphone

That number come down to 6 billion population. All we know that smartphone has higher temptation than PC, laptops and other gadgets because now with a right smartphones you can do everything that you like. The things that Twenty-first generation people like to do all the time. For example, calling, short messaging, surfing internet, video call, gaming, capture image, video recording. All of these can be done in a single smartphone.

As soon as your children go primary school, your children will try get their parents for a smartphone that will be a guarantee. Well, that is a good or bad thing ? The laggard children will beg their parent as soon as they hit twelve years old.

Stop this nonsense for a while, there are people actually bought Dual SIM smartphones. I never own a Dual SIM smartphones because I never have the desire. Dual-SIM smartphones are good one for your personal use, one for your business use. That make sense !

10 Crimes activity at Malaysia in April 2014

Robert's Google+


Polices and Rakyat need to be cooperative in combating crimes in Malaysia. 


It is not only the job of a policemen combating crimes. We must not let them work alone when we have an opportunity in bringing crimes down  we still get it done. If you are keeping silence that mean you are indirectly being a friend to enemy of the state. 

In a recent news, we have seen increasing diversity in the armed forces nationwide. A good sign and move by authorities because we must know that crime did not choose race.  

This is not to undermine any parties if there are any parties or individual emotionally affected your viewing discretion is advised. In order to spreading awareness and alertness among fellow Malaysian. we must equally responsible for lowering crime rate in our land. Be moderate ! 

This is just my personal opinions not associated or affiliated with any.  



1. Abduction at Sabah resorts 

In the early April 2014, There were abduction cases in Sabah. Esscom responded swiftly adding assets and enforcing various guideline for resort under Esscom territory. Foreigners should not be employed by resort operators.

A list of employees in a resort should be sent to Esscom every week as a effective measure in curbing immigrant employees worked alongside with abductors.

One China tourist and one resort worker being captured and was no where to found after Esscom arrived the scene. Esscom is very serious in this matter and harshly treating illega immigrants living in Sabah. They launched ops cantas khas on April 23 at Pulau Pondu.

5. Unprecedented move to celebrate Christian 


PDRM facebook

In remembrance Policemen day, Bukit Aman policemen held Christian prayer at Full Gospel Assembly. There are many activity held nearby.

Although it is not a crime activity but it is an unity and good impression for Malaysian in multiracial and multi-religious country. 



6. Internet Love Scam Busted  

Playing with your feeling a criminal tactic exploiting social media prowess in cheating and doing fraud. A consider widespread and newly planned syndicate originated by African people living in Malaysian have been proactively involving in fraud.

There were 3,000 cases love cheating reported. In just short three years, almost 3,000 Malaysian fell to the trap this criminal acting as good person and making relationship as a game profiteering themselves and exploiting people's fragile feeling.

Ops Tiong launched by police captured 30 love fraudsters at Cheras impersonate rich people and exploiting their student passes. 



7 Suspected Policemen shooter with tiger tattoo arrested

Chinese Muslim convert at Ipoh arrested due to involvement in Ampang Jaya shooting. Policemen raid his home and found out bullet cases but never reported gun use by suspect killing policemen was found. 




8. Klang valley Pilgrimage to Mecca package fraud 

Police is seeking a man and 2 wives who are believed to have cheated 100 individuals of Rm 250,000 that was meant to perform umrah. 

The company called as 1UMRRH Rakyat Sdn Bhd. Deceiving victims offering cheaper Umrah packages RM3,999 . They were operating at Wangsa Maju and asked victim to fully paid their package to get lower Umrah package. Upon receiving the money, they will call up customer that their package has been cancelled for various reasons and will fully refund the money to them.




9. Credit / Debit cards fraud

Syndicate tactic would be calling up potential victim either you are debit or credit card holder. They will said they are calling on behalf of any bank but it is not true. They will try to deceive you by telling you are lucky winner or there are any promotion. 

In order to accept the prizes, you are required to give full name, Identification card no and Card expiry date. They will then requesting your back of the card 3 digits number. It is very important that do not expose 3 digits in the back of your card at any circumstances.



10. Geng Amir in Melaka case resolved

Geng Amir with 8 teenagers have been involved in 80 cases of robbery in November last year were captured they were in the age range of 15 till 18. Amir the leader did not attend any school and only in the age of 15.

They are very active in doing crime in few locations such as Jonker Walk, Taman Melaka Raya, Peringgit, Jalan Bendahara, Jalam Mufti Haji Khalil  and Lebuh Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah Jasin.

  

11. Follow and robbing Tactic

A serious notice by Malaysian Royal policemen that there is a new trend criminal activity. The tactic would be four or more people in a vehicle and carrying parang to scare off victim. Next thing they will call you leave any valuable belonging at your car and force you out of the car. They will drive off your car 

Advise by policemen is that do not ever open the car door for people you deemed not knowing. If you feel that someone is following you behind your car in a trip, do not hesitate to call police hotline or stop your car a while where many peoples are concentrated. 

Do not be panic recognizing perpetrators vehicle plate, color, vehicle model, ethnic, shirt wear. The best advice would be installing car tracking system or car surveillance camera for the ease of finding by authorities. If you encounter, remember your life is more important than belonging values

Some groups rejected Government proposed GST in Malaysia

Robert's Google+


From the early beginning before the handouts being implemented, the strategy of GST being implemented nationwide on April 2015 is conceived due to achieve progressive nation in 2020





Is this possible that it is part of government strategy in order to implement GST and getting trust of people, they rolled out handout for the poor? This is not the question of the day. The question would be whether government is sincere in helping lower and poor income bracket rakyat who made up the bottom of the society.

Handouts by government is increasingly main topic discussed especially older generation voters some even said it will bankrupt the nation, some said the government is generous in helping them. There are always mixed feeling and perception. The ideologies of elite and poorest remained in the big gap just like income of poor and high elite society.

We have seen government poured out millions and millions in handout to the specific group made up of the society. No doubt there were increasing in the amount of handout received by them from previous year. It is a good strategy before the implementation of GST. Will GST successfully implemented ?

GST is a good tax system and the implementation of GST in other country like Singapore is way before us. They are way ahead of us implemented GST in their own country. Singapore is top 10 richest and advanced country in the world. However, Malaysian are not educated about Good and Serviced Tax (GST).





May 1, 2014 GST protesters commented on the soon to be implemented Good and Service Tax system.

Have you watched the video, most of them are having a concept that GST will put burden on them. This also proven that government is still need more time in educating older generation and young generation what is GST all about !


Let take for an example of Obamacare, There were millions of Americans actually opposed this and that. In effort to educate them on Obamacare, they are now millions enrolled in this healthcare programme. Back to GST, exactly in 11 months GST will be implemented by the government. Will they able to understand what is GST all about ?


Illustration on GST of 6%

A group of people think that the current SST which is 16% will better than GST 6%.  Due to some reasons, GST will become 24% because in each chain will charge 6% more to other chain. Understand the first one.

There are so many version of GST and people are influenced by many version of GST. They got confused. They have the right to know every piece of information and Government have the role and responsibility to make their rakyat smarter.

We are willing to learn and this is our role ! In recent days, we have seen there are many business seminar catering the topic of GST. The part where they are asking a entry fee it will discourage public. We need a free seminar !
