A trip to Singapore

Recently I was in Singapore for about 6 days from October 29th to November 4th, 2014. I came in via Johor Bahru (JHB) and went south past the Causeway. I wanted to go to Bali for the same period, but the return ticket was four time more than Singapore. And the place I plan to stay in costs US$45/night. In Singapore, I stayed at the Royal […]

What is Corruption? An Economics-Influenced Take on the Price Hikes

Malaysia’s Federal Government announced that it is reducing the petrol subsidies. For consumers, this means we have to pay an extra RM0.20 for every litre of petrol. In reaction to the “petrol price hike”, many quarters are singing litanies of condemnation. Cries of corruption are heard. But what is “corruption”? Corrupt, or corrumpere, meant “utterly broken”. It is no longer as whole as it once […]

Happy Malaysia Day! With a long entry.

In 51 years, there has been much changes compared to the State of the Nation back in 1963. No doubt some quarters would harp that it is not as far or fast as they hoped it to be. But these are changes none the less. In that time, Sarawak grew with her partners, Malaya and Sabah. Albeit growth was more focused on West Malaysia, or […]

Opportunities Aplenty – Are We Really Ready of Independence?

With talks of independence and secession buzzing once again on the social media, many are feeling uneasy. Secession. Sarawak for Sarawakians. Sabah for Sabahans. Independence. These words are all too familiar. Once upon a time, I too favour a politically independent Sarawak. Until a time when I realised independence for the sake of independence will not solve all our problems. If anything, it could open […]

What is money?

In my view, money is not an object. Yes, it is the currency that we use. But more importantly, to me, it is a concept. In my line, I help people be financially successful.
