There are difference in SESB and TNB. SESB is Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd while TNB is Tenaga Nasional Berhad. 


Sabah electricity vs TNB electricity tariff 2014


There were large usage of electricity during May 2014. There is a report said the highest in country history due to the current hot weather and dry spell. TNB general manager Omar Sidek said Malaysia recorded power usage of 16,583 MW on May 28.

Usage of electricity from 2 PM to 5 PM remained at peak every day. Experts warned everyone of us lowering the electricity consumption at that period. For example, regulating air conditioning between 23 and 25 Celsius, do ironing at night or washing machines and boil water during off peak periods. Besides, there were an advice on factories to operate machines at night rather than at day.

Our power management in Malaysia could be proved weak due to our electricity tariff policy is not strengthen enough. In South Korea, they have this seasoned tariff rate. On the peak period, the electricity tariff is slightly higher as for off peak period the electricity tariff is charged lower. Our electricity tariff is calculated based on fixed rate.

In order to change factory operator mind, we need to polish our electricity tariff to help factory operator have a thought to operate at night rather than at day light. Despite that, studying the chart above Sabah electricity is cheaper than TNB the company controlling power supply at west Malaysia.

The chart above is leaned on home consumer rather than business. Business were using different tariff and will slightly lower favoring the business in Malaysia. Those who use more than 700 kwh as a consumer rather than business will be charge at RM 0.54 more or less. Not to mention there will be 1.6 % borne by consumer if their electricity tariff hit 301 KWH.

New Electricity tariff has been revised and imposed effective on January 1, 2014. Many people had experienced hike in their electricity bill. There were reasons behind all these. It is complicated to explain and understandable by most of us. So, we were being educated how to conserve electricity.

Moreover, it is a wrong perception that the new electricity tariff affected business in Malaysia the most. If you look at that the TNB or SESB website, there were two different tariff one is for business and the other one for business. In fact, home electricity tariff is more expensive than business operator. Businesses in Malaysia should not make excuses to increase their price without doing extensive research.

Fake Eggs detected in Malaysia shore 2014

Fake eggs caught in a video alerting people importance to know how to differentiate fake and real eggs




One of the Malaysian tried to warned us about fake eggs in her video. She uploaded a video recording her discovery on the fake eggs she bought. It never detailed where and when she bought the eggs but pointed out Malaysian market is now having fake eggs. Again, she did not exposed how rampant or prevalence the selling of fake eggs

She uploaded a total of 4 videos about the fake eggs. The first video is absolutely favored by her Facebook friends shared almost 3,000 times. A short less than 1 minute video the most profound quote is " All the eggs I have bought put inside refrigerator were broken ". " I speculated Fake eggs is now at the Malaysia shore". 

Through our the her video, she was not confident enough to say " yes, it was all fake eggs. " . It seem like not convincing enough for most of us because she said the outer layer of the egg the egg white is too much solid. From this point of view, it did not have solid evidence it was a fake egg until we see the next video.

In the same day June 10, 2014, She uploaded the second video further proving her fake egg discovery. In the second video, she used English language rather than Mandarin. Nothing really happened until you see her third video about the fake eggs she bought. It was same date she uploaded her third video to her Facebook demonstrated the yellow yolk of the egg is like a ball .


How to identify a fake eggs



The white liquid at the side of the egg is "Chalaza"


  1. No Chalaza inside the egg to hold the yolk
  2. The yellow will mix with the white without stir
  3. Egg shell is slightly brighter with pigments
  4. It cheap
  5. Did not smell like real egg or raw meat
  6. a boiled egg solid yellow yolk that bounce

Apparently, this women has little or no knowledge and experience dealing with fake eggs. The way she spoken could be affected by news articles and youtube video about "fake eggs". There were no real measures being taught into the Malaysian society what are the disadvantages cooking a fake eggs. Simply watching lots of Youtube video, they taught us one thing that the egg is made by chemical substances. Some of the chemical were harmful. If it was harmful why there were no precaution measures by respective governments ??

The silence of fake eggs by the authorities seem to imply that fake eggs is pretty much consumable that why there were no strict regulations to the food and beverage industries. Why there were no education program that improve our awareness on fake eggs?? Food and beverage companies is overpowered authorities nowadays ??  





Malaysian did not expected Italy lost to Costa Rica

Malaysia devastated knowing there was no goal from Italy striker Mario Balotelli




Lowyat voted Italy vs Costa Rica




High hope is given to Italy Mario Balotelli and Pirlo. Both performed great versus England team. Despite that, in this game Italy was up against Costa Rica as if they won the match, England was not going to be sent home early.

Twisted fate occurred we were not believing there were 0 score when the final whistle blowing decided to ended the match Italy 0 - 1 Costa Rica. There were mass upset among Malaysian. You can see the chart yourself that most of the Malaysian were voted for Italy rather than Costa Rica.


England never made it because Italy did not win Costa Rica tonight. Interestingly, in Mario Balotelli's Twitter tweeted that as if they won the match, he wanted to be kissed by England queen. It was a joke but million have favorite the tweet and deemed it was really funny. Besides, there were few attempt by Balotelli to strike but Costa Rica have 5 defenders at the ground strongly guarded famous striker from doing perfect goal kick or rushing. He is so famous it reminded me that his name was mentioned during press conference MH370 by Department Civil Aviation Datuk Azharuddin.




Malaysia LINE user voted Italy win against costa rica




A staggering number of LINE users voted Italy win against Costa Rica. 30,000 voters only 4,000 chose Costa Rica win against Italy. It further showed that Malaysian did not expected this could happen. As for those who are betting on World Cup 2014, it acted as wake up call for them. Everything in FIFA World Cup were never determinants by famous and skilled soccer players or their country development status.


The next match we will see another amazing match later France vs Switzerland. Switzerland previously owned against Ecuador. As for France, they are always a solid team as we have seen in their first match. This match can be watched LIVE at RTM channel.

Wonda wonderful coffee with Arabika beans in Malaysia

Robert's Google+


Arabika beans taste so good definitely a premium coffee for everyone. 









  • Product : Wonda wonderful coffee
  • Calories : 146 Kcal for 240ml  , Sugar : 18.5g , Carbohydrate : 26.2g
  • Net Weight : 240ml
  • Status         : Halal
  • Manufacturer : Permanis Sdn Bhd
  • Flavor : Mocha
  • Value : RM2.30 (7-Eleven), RM1.90 (local market)



Coffee made of milk powder and cocoa powder. It so sweet and delicious. Arabika beans is not a plant originated from Arab countries. It can be found at Indonesia. First to brew using arabika beans was known as a Sweden guy.

For a coffee lover, do you feel curious about the taste of arabika coffee ?? I cant really differentiate Starbuck coffee beans and Wonda coffee but every coffee should be just fine. My tongue is not helping me how to do that the most easy measure to test quality would be the price. One cup of starbuck cost us RM15 or above. As for Wonda coffee, you could get at least 8 cans equivalent up to 2 litres. Quality or Quantity for you ??

I have seen people choose quality over quantity. For most of the people on the lower society tend to choose quantity rather than quality. Big is good ! Quality associated to smaller no good that would be a mentality I guess everyone is holding.







I have seen several times Wonda coffee advertisement on TV screen. It is one of the reason I bought this at 7-eleven. I was not thinking to buy any drinks but for surveying then I stumbled upon Wonda coffee so I decided to give it a try. It is not a little bit embarrassing not to buy anything and walk out.

In a meantime, Wonda coffee is owned by Asahi Group of Japan. In 2013, they launched heavy advertisements on Wonda coffee. For those who want to get a taste on it, it is solely available in 7- Eleven stores. I could not find it at anywhere !

Moreover, Wonda Coffee owner in Malaysia was quoted in an article that they were targeting 20% Malaysian coffee beverage market . It implying to compete with local brand such as Ipoh White Coffee and Alicafe brand. My opinion would be Wonda coffee tasted differently and unique compared to Ipoh White coffee and Alicafe . 

McDonald Habanero Burger for FIFA World Cup 2014

Habanero Spicy Chicken is a very spicy flavor served with medium-size Lime McFizz



McDonald Malaysia Habanero Burger
Habanero Chicken Burger 


Total price will be RM 11.50 . Habanero burger RM7.30 with fries + LimeMcFizz RM4.2 . I do not know where they get the name from Habanero, I am guessing it must be a Brazilian language. It is so spicy I felt like eating this burger like forever. I used to eat them quite fast. The size of the burger is satisfactory.

I just don know why the McDonald staff did not give me the exclusive and limited FIFA World Cup french fries holder. I apparently ordered a Habanero burger. Is that only available for those who purchase large set Habanero burgers ?? I just want to try it out the McDonald FIFA game apps they had made.

Without the limited edition French Fries holder, I think it pointless to play the McDonald FIFA game app right ? There were two choices available beef or chicken but both are spicy flavor. Cant they just Habanero burger original flavor ??




Source : Facebook page McDonald Malaysia


If it was not because McDonald is official restaurant FIFA World Cup 2014 and new Habanero burger, I would not convince myself for a meal trip there. Despite that, I think KFC got boneless chicken offer and I have yet to taste it. I am wondering whether McDonald Habanero burger or boneless KFC chicken. In the end, I would pick both it just the matter of time i will try both great offers.

In case you just on diet and never been to McDonald lately, I have a news for you that every McDonald Malaysia outlets are your new modern mamak stall. You can watch LIVE any FIFA World Cup 2014 matches. If you are seeing this, Uruguay vs England 3AM in less than 11 hours from now.
