Online Opportunities June 11, 2016 bizadmin I am looking for online opportunities to earn a little here and there by doing microjobs and paid commenting. Some time back, I got close to USD 100 for virtual assistance rendered to a US client and now I am on the look out for more ops. It is very easy to spend money but earning and keeping it is a challenge for most of us. That is why so many yuppies and grads become bankrupts due to overspending as soon as they get their first pay cheque. Discipline takes effort and should be cultivated from young. If you don’t learn the habit of saving up for rainy days, then your retirement may look bleak or woeful instead of golden and free from financial stress of lack.
Tycoon land sales raise questions February 27, 2016 bizadmin A few tycoons are selling large swathes of their land in Malaysia, either directly or through companies they control. Could this be a sign of the times, in the sense that these businessmen are looking to cash out of an asset class that is set for a prolonged downturn? “You get the feeling like these tycoons are reading the market and acting on it,” says one fund manager. Just last month, Guocoland (M) Bhd, a company controlled by Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan said its associate company announced it was selling a large piece of land in Sepang to Petronas-owned Putrajaya Holdings Bhd. Around RM116mil of the sales proceeds will be attributable to Guocoland, in which Quek has around 65% interest. At around the same time, Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng decided to sell 400 acres of his privately-owned land to IOI Properties Group Bhd for a whopping RM1.58bil. Lee will be paid mostly in shares, nudging his stake up to 58.56% from 51.47% but will also be getting cash of around RM158mil from the sale. Lee has since explained that the deal shows his belief in the long-term prospects of IOI Properties and that the land will enhance the prospects of the latter. He also said that he would use the cash proceeds from the sale to buy more shares in IOI Properties. But some observers say his move, of putting his privately owned land into his listed company, can be read as a decision to not want to take the risk of holding this land in these troubling times, but rather move it into his listed company. Another notable vendor of land in recent times is Tan Sri Danny Tan. Through his listed Tropicana Corp Bhd, he has sold more than RM1.5bil worth of land this year alone. Tan also sought to sell a large piece of land in Gelang Patah Johor to Singapore-listed Albedo Ltd for which he would have assumed control via a reverse takeover. That deal has since been aborted and it isn’t clear if Tan has sold that piece of land, which was valued at almost RM2bil at the time of the proposed deal. Last year, Tan Sri Desmond Lim’s Global Oriental Bhd sold 15 acres of land in Seri Kembangan to Singapore incorporated Qingdao Investment Pte Ltd for RM142mil while in 2013, DRB Hicom Bhd, controlled by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar divested close to 250 acres of land in Johor to Eco World Development Group Bhd for more than half a billion ringgit.
Public Bank launches e-fixed deposit account February 22, 2016 bizadmin Public Bank Bhd recently launched the PB e-fixed deposit account (PB eFD) which is for customers opting for e-banking. PB eFD is a “Go Green” paperless fixed deposit account which allows the customers to create the accounts, make placements and also withdraw online via PBe Online Banking (PBe). With PB eFD, customers will benefit from the fixed deposit (FD) interest rate just by applying for a PB eFD account and make FD transactions anywhere via PBe throughout the whole week. The PB eFD placements are carried out in real time with minimum placement from as low as RM1,000. PB eFD is open to individual customers aged 18 years and above as well as sole proprietors, who have existing conventional personal current accounts or savings acounts and who have registered for PBe. The bank said the facility would enable customers enjoy their interest earned before the maturity as PB eFD offers the option of monthly automatic crediting of interest into customers’ current account or savings account. PB eFD also offers automatic renewal for the same tenure at the prevailing board rates for the convenience of customers. In conjunction with the launch of PB eFD, Public Bank is running a “PB eFD Campaign” from Jan 12 to March 31 offering higher promotional interest rates of up to 3.60% per annum for three months and above. With “PB eFD Campaign”, customers can watch their money grow and earn competitive interest rates. Customers just have to open a PB eFD account via PBe and make a minimum PB eFD placement of RM1,000 during the campaign period in order to enjoy the higher promotional interest rates.
Success Begets Success January 18, 2016 bizadmin The Bible tells us not to sleep too much nor enjoy life too much, or else poverty will come upon you like a bandit. We have to work hard with our hands and follow the habit of the little ant – storing up food for winter while the lazy grassphopper prefers to sing and laze around during summer and come to hunger during winter. So, likewise, in our prime of youth, we should work hard to save up for our retirement in time to come. As they say “Success begets Success” and how true this statement is with regards to our lives in general. When you are successful, you will always think of ways to optimise your savings like putting into Fixed Deposits for higher returns that is guaranteed; unlike playing in the stock market which has the roller coaster financial effects.
Withdraw some cash from Paypal January 12, 2016 bizadmin Just now, I managed to withdraw some cash from my Paypal into my local bank with the US dollars converted to Ringgit. It was USD63.51 @ 4.29361 = RM 269.68 after deducting RM3 for amounts less than RM 400. This is passive income month after month from my 2 blogs and a PR 2 website. Oh yes, I managed to write 1 article for a Singaporean client for S$8 per article of 750 words. The conversion is rather attractive now but not for my boss who has to pay more for the import of goods in US dollars. My blogs are very influential. Some people just want whatever I write here and get what they want. So you could say, that I am a very influential blogger. But I shudder to think those who could not get their way and silently resent me or become envious. If that is you, then I suggest you don’t come here any more and get out.
Entered Purchase Receive Documents December 5, 2015 bizadmin Since the last few days, I have entered a total of 28 purchase receive documents for GST input tax claims from customs for the month of October and November. Since I have yet to receive the tax invoices for December which will most likely be early January, I can only key in in January 2016 and submit payment before the second week of January. Some of the figures don’t tally at all despite using Netiquette like the associate company of s hm which always has a difference of $3.60, giving out weird numbers that are totally different from Netiquette which is a cloud GST system. We have to pay $500 per year just to use Netiquette plus the services of a freelance accountant that comes to my home office to help out with the GST software and payment online.
