What to expect when our PM Najib make an announcement for Hari Malaysia this Friday? Malaysiakini reported that he is going to annouce something big.

Hopefully he can define clearly what is 1Malaysia and what is his plan or roadmap to restore the national unity and put a stop to the racial dispersion. For me this is the first priority.

We can’t afford to keep doing nothing but expect the situation to change.

If he don’t care and fail to do so……

Last week, all telco in Malaysia announced a 6% service tax for all prepaid topup.
As expected this cause a nationwide uproar.
I feel very sorry for them. 6% of RM10 is RM0.60 which may means a lot for a people who on tight budget or student.

Although we all knew that this is coming when astro charge the same tax, but to my suprise, our PM Najib seems to blame this to a telco companies. Surely Maxis, celcom, digi etc will felt that they have been back stabbed by him.
In my opinion, he should just explain and justify this tax as ultimately the tax is collected for the goverment.

This mess just made the next GE look much more interesting.

Internet has changed the way we purchase something. We can cut short the old fashioned way of physical visit to many stores in order to get the best quote. Just google anything that you want to buy and Walla! You will get a long list of online site that do the price comparison for you. How convenient is that?

But for a ‘serious’ price comparison, which normally for a big purchases e.g. electronics like plasma tv, home theatre systems or digital cameras, normally for us men, we will dig through for more details and specific information. Especially if we are not familiar with the product, we might want to know on how to choose a product, what specification need to be focus on and explanation on specific jargon that related to that product.

Normally I will browse through more than 2 sites, maybe one site for price comparison and another few sites for the details information that I need. Only recently I found one site which is suit to my liking. It is a combination of wikipedia (kind of) and ebay.com. The site name is shopwiki.com.

The outline and arrangement of the site is clean and neat. No unnecessary advertisement or graphic that distract our focus on the product itself. The explanation and know-how is good and adequate. Here, you can find a specific page for an iphone, ipod, digital cameras, home theatre systems, mobile phones and GPS devices. Ah..by now, you should already realized that I am a fan of electronics and technology lover, apple in particular, thus all my example are related to that areas.

For other areas, like home and garden, there are specific pages for bed pillows & home electrical like washing machines. For sport & fitness, there is a specific pages for bicycle, boxing, camping and hiking.
