李甜福的诗歌 BAHTERA MALAYSIA-

李甜福的诗歌BAHTERA MALAYSIA---ORANG MELAYU BUKAN MUSUH ORANG TIONGHUA


 
Kita Bukan Musuh, Kita Ditakdir Hidup Mati Bersama
      ---Memperingati Sasterawan Usman Awang yang  dicintai masyarakat Tionghua dan semua lapisan     
          masyarakat
 


Orang Tionghua bukan musuh Melayu
Orang Melayu juga bukan musuh Tionghua*1
Sama juga Orang Tionghua, Melayu, India, 
Kadazan, Iban, Bajau,serta ras-ras lain di nusa tercinta ini  
Bukanlah musuh, bukanlah lawan
 


 Di tanah air tercinta ini  
 Kita sama-sama ukirkan kata cinta 
 Walaupun banyak insiden pahit berlaku  
 Tetap juga kita bersama mengahdapinya

 Melayu itu pengembara lautan  
Melorongkan jalur sejarah zaman  
Begitu juga Tionghua dan India  
Mengembara ribuan batu dan kilometer  
Bersama-sama menyumbang dan membawa hasil  
Memakmurkan negara mengharumkan imej 

 
 
Kita ditakdir bersama di bahtera Malaysia  
Maka tiada alasan dan dalih Mencari pasal memarah satu sama lain  
Kerana Orang Melayu bukan Musuh Tionghua,Benggali, Iban, Kadazan dan India  
Orang Tionghua juga bukan musuh Melayu dan puluhan ras di nusa ini

 Persahabatan sentiasa di dalam benak  
Persaudaraan seringkali di lubuk hati  
Kalau kita bukan saudara, bukan sahabat  
Kenapa ditakdir bersama-sama dalam bahtera

 Kita ditakdir hidup mati bersama  
Tiada pilihan tiada alternatif  
Bermusuhan akan membawa jahanam  
Memutuskan silaturahim satu dosa besar

 Pemergian Mu sudahpun selama 12 tahun
 Kita masih mengenang wajah dan semangat  
Keperi-manusiaan, keadilan, hak asasi manusia  
Dan patriotikisme tak mungkin dilupakan
 


 Kita semua, tak kira warna kulit, bangsa dan agama  
Sama-sama menyambungkan tali persaudaraan  
Mengeratkan kasih sayang  
Rasa kecintaan memaniskan keutuhan persaudaraan

 
 
Putra-putri sayang dari berbilang ras, berbagai kultur  
Hapuskan curiga, sangsi dan syak wasangka  
Kikiskan sikap angkuh,eksploitasi dan diskriminasi  
Sama-sama berjuang demi membawa harapan kepada anak dan cucu

 Persahabatan dan persaudaraan yang dipapar oleh Mu  
Sering menjadi tauladan dan dicontohi  
Semangat keperi-manusiaan semerbakkan ibu pertiwi  
Putra-putri datang menunaikan bakti
 
Kita tak akan lupa nasihat menteri  
Mengamalkan sikap saling menghormati*2  
Rukun Negara dijadikan paksi kesejahteraan  
Sama-sama hidup aman selesa di dalam bahtera Malaysia.

如果天天都观想阿弥陀佛,因为经常熏习的缘故,阿弥陀佛必定会于梦中出现的。 上师如意宝曾比喻说,就像有个人天天思念自己的恋人,久而久之,做梦的时候也会经常梦到对方。

选自索达吉堪布———《净土教言讲记》

    如果天天都观想阿弥陀佛,因为经常熏习的缘故,阿弥陀佛必定会于梦中出现的。
    上师如意宝曾比喻说,就像有个人天天思念自己的恋人,久而久之,做梦的时候也会经常梦到对方。同样,我们如果也这样想念阿弥陀佛,平时在行住坐卧中念念不忘远离轮回、往生极乐世界,到了一定的时候,晚上做梦自然会梦到阿弥陀佛赐予加持,或者出现往生的征相。
    如果这些在梦中出现的话,中阴时一般也会出现的。当然,梦中没出现、中阴时候出现,梦中出现了、中阴时候没出现,这些情况也有,不能一概而论。


    有些人也许认为:阿弥陀佛只是一个主尊,每位念佛的人往生时,阿弥陀佛都要亲自出来接,就像有些大寺院里的知客师一样,今天马来西亚的客人来了,明天新加坡的贵宾来了,整天都忙得不可开交。
    其实阿弥陀佛并不是这样,获得佛陀的果位以后,具有无量无边的神变。一地菩萨刹那能化多少身,大家也应该非常清楚,既然如此,获得佛果就更不用说了。
    所以这边有个念佛的人往生了,那里也有个念佛的人往生了,阿弥陀佛是不是这边接的时候那边来不及呢?不会有这种情况的。如果有这种怀疑,那完全是对佛陀功德不了解的分别念所致。


    一般人在临终的时候,如果对往生极乐世界有一定的把握,他的心确实非常清净,不可能贪恋自己的亲眷、财物,在极为清净的等持中不忘失正念,对念佛或者观想阿弥陀佛的形象一点也不忘失,在这种状态中死去,马上就能往生极乐世界。
    这跟莲花生大师《六中阴》里的某些窍诀非常相似,我们在临死中阴现前时,必须要舍弃一切贪恋,执著财产房屋都是不合理的,这些东西就像石头一样没有用处,应该一心一意地专注祈祷阿弥陀佛。
 
    一旦死亡出现,我们的第一个念头一定要观想跟上师无二无别的阿弥陀佛。
    比如说自己突然遇到了(什么)肯定必死无疑(时),这时你应该马上观想阿弥陀佛与上师无二无别,一心祈祷阿弥陀佛或上师。如果有这样的念头,那你的神识可以融入上师阿弥陀佛,往生极乐世界。这一点非常非常重要!
     但在那个时候,人的恐惧感可能特别强烈,能不能生起这个念头,是最值得关注的一件事情。所以我平时一遇到特别害怕的事,马上就会想“不行了,要忆念阿弥陀佛”,如果实在不能忆念的话,就观想自己的神识往上去,上方有阿弥陀佛和上师,有这么一个念头也能往生!

  
    注:我在前面堪布的开示中提示过就是在正常往生时如果当下功夫提不起来亦可用此法。因其方便易行所以在此加入是法,愿有情共受法益为盼。

                              不慧后学  邬金罗桑多杰  谨识。顶礼!和南!

Philip Yeoh TWO Malaysian hotels made this list. No wonder even phantoms have voting rights in our elections.----HOTEL HANTU

 Yu Shan Fan Dian, Chengde, China

Cixi The 220-room hotel Yu Shan Fan Dian is three hours north of Beijing on the Yangtze River. It is built on the very same grounds where Manchu royalty would escape the summer heat of Beijing. Over the years, several guests have reported sightings of none other than Dowager Empress Cixi, tending her beloved garden. It seems the old Dowager feels duly protective of her garden.

First Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

Asia Hotel First Hotel Bangkok ,Pratunam Hotels,surrounding with shopping and Department stores such as MBK,is a popular hotel. However our research from interviews and online resources shows that there were many reported sightings. A big fire engulfed parts of the hotel in the 80's. The body of a Singaporean singer by the name of Shi Ni was found charred beyond recognition in the hotel's nightclub. Read more here New Reports

Asia Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

Asia Hotel With one glance you would deemed Asia Hotel to be just another spooky hotel in Bangkok. The overall hotel is dimly lit and rooms are old and musty. A typical story involves guests waking up just in time to see ghostly figures sitting on the sofa staring at them, only to vanish into thin air.  New Reports

Baiyoke Sky Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

Asia Hotel The  Baiyoke Sky Hotel, rising 88-storeys above Bangkok’s skyline, is Thailand’s tallest (as of 2011) hotel.Three billboard installers died when they fell from a suspended platform at the 69th floor of Baiyoke Tower II. New Reports

Chambers travelled to France shortly before the hotel’s completion. He later returned to India only to find out that it was built in the opposite direction. He was so heartbroken that he took his life. Hotel staff and guests claim that his ghost roams the old wing of the hotel obviously still lamenting his design gone bad New Reports

First World Hotel, Genting Highlands, Malaysia

First World  Genting Highlands, the famous hill resort in Malaysia, is also known as one of the most haunted places in Malaysia. Paranormal incidents have been reported at the First World Hotel. Given that it is a casino resort, a lot of gambling-related suicides have happened over the years. There are eerie sounds in the middle of the night as well as apparitions of restless spirits. Locals even claim that some hotel rooms are never rented out even if the hotel is fully booked because occupants fall sick after their stay. There were also reports that the lift never stopped on the 21st floor. The lift would either skip the 21st floor or would not even reach the 21st floor.
Read More about the reported hauntings contributed by our readers here Reports

Grand Hyatt, Taipei, Taiwan

 Grand Hyatt Hotel  Ghost stories about the Grand Hyatt Taipei are rooted in the hotel’s dark history. Apparently the hotel was built on a World War II execution ground and cemetary.. Guests of the hotel have allegedly seen ghosts in the corridors while others have heard strange noises from unoccupied rooms. Paranormal activities and rumors regarding the hotel have so negatively affected the business that management decided to consult Feng Shui experts. Chinese calligraphy and scrolls have since been installed in strategic places within the hotel in the hopes of warding off restless spirits. Many visitors swears that they saw a ghost at the top floor, and refuses to ever stay there again.

Tambun Inn, Ipoh, Malaysia

Tambun Inn Hotel Malaysia  Tambun Inn is one of the favorite hotels in Ipoh, Malaysia. Apparently the tourists are not the only errant fools to the hotel. Scary creatures of the night allegedly wander the hotel as well. Many accounts of events have been documented ghosts. Some of these accounts have mentioned the light in and out; the sounds, whispers and screams heard disturbing the inn. There was also a report of a ghost of an elderly woman was discovered near the pension. 

Diplomat Hotel, Baguio City, Philippines

Diplomat Hotel  The Diplomat Hotel on Dominican Hill, Baguio City, Philippines is famous for being haunted by headless apparitions amongst other things. There were some visitors of the hotel claiming to saw headless figures carrying a platter with their severed damaged head on it, walking along the corridors wailing for justices. The abandoned hotel was the heaven for the paranormal and ghost hunters.

Hotel Pelabuhan Ratu, Indonesia

Pelabuhan Ratu  Room 308 in Samudra Beach Hotel was my main reason to go to Pelabuhanratu. I had read that Nyai Loro Kidul, the Goddess of the South Seas, has room 308 permanently kept empty for her.Legend has it that Nyai Loro Kidul lures fishermen to her love nest at the bottom of the ocean. She whisks away anyone who ventures into the sea, anyone wearing green. Swimmers are warned not to wear green and not to swim in the ocean and if drowning occurs they are attributed to this malevolent Goddess. 

The Savoy Hotel, Mussoorie, India

savoy  The Savoy, is a historic luxury hotel located in the hill station, Mussoorie, in Uttarakhand state of India, The Savoy Hotel, the inspiration of Agatha Christie's novel was the Mysterious Affair at Styles. The hotel offers not only a luxury but a constant supply of pure terror. His former owner, Lady Ormsby , who died allegedly from poisoning, is said to be the haunting opulent hotel. Scary creature of the night was to see to draw aimlessly the halls of his former hotel. 

Buma Inn, Beijing, China

  The Chinese really take seriously these things paranormal. Anyone would be, if the event will include scary paranormal creatures of the night, the Berserker. Buma Inn in Beijing will be pursued by a ghost angry and seeks revenge. It was said that a guest died because the chef poisoned his food and then the chef stabbed himself. The terror is not over yet. Until now, the restless spirit of murdered Review pursues the hotel in search of the chef, who poisoned him. 

Here's some beliefs of the hoteliers : (believe it or not it's up to you)

Every single hotel, there shall be at least a permanent room which should be left vacant at all times. No matter how full the hotel are, they are not to sell that room(s) to any guest. It was said that special room was "reserved" for those "special visitors". So, if you plan to stay in some hotel, always book in advance. Try to avoid walk in.

If the receptionist tells you there are no more rooms available, do not insist one anymore or try to bribe them to give you a room. If you do that, most of the time the room you have will be that "special room".
Sometimes those "special visitors" might go to other rooms also, so here's some tips on how to protect yourself:

1.  Before entering your room, always knock on the door first, even you know the room is vacant.
2. After you enter the room, if you feel very cold suddenly and have goosebumps, leave the room quietly & immediately and go to reception to request a room change. Most of the time the receptionist will understand what's happening.
3. After you enter the room, immediately switch on all of the lights, and open the curtains to let the sun light in.
4. before you go to bed, arrange your shoes so that one of them is upside down. Some say this is representing yin & yang to protect you while you're asleep.
5. Always leave at least a lamp on while you're sleeping, preferably the toilet's lamp.
6. If you're staying alone and they have give you a twin bed, do not sleep with the other bed vacant, try to put your things like luggage on the other bed before you sleep.

Kumpulan Panji Hitam dari Timur Empayar Langkasuka Nusantara-----RAJA NUSANTARA IN HISTORY????????????????--LET THE INTERNATIONAL COURT TO JUDGE??


KUALA LUMPUR: Like a gang of ninjas, dressed in black, a group of 10 individuals tried to take over the national palace in Jalan Duta early this morning.

In the 4.10am incident, the cult group known as Kumpulan Panji Hitam dari Timur Empayar Langkasuka Nusantara gathered in front of the main entrance of the palace.

It was said that the group came to palace to replace the current kingdom as they claimed to be the rightful owner of the throne.

However, quick action from the police prevented the group from barging into the palace.

According to a police source, they apprehended all 10 members of the group, including three Pajeros used during the incident.

“We arrested eight men and two women. However, we did not seize any weapons from them. Only black flags and a few ‘official appointment letters’ belonging to the leader of the group,” the source said.

The source added, that all three vehicles had flags bearing ‘Lailahaillalahmuhamadarasulullah’ (There is no god except Allah and Muhammad is His messenger) written in Jawi.
Initial investigation showed that three out of seven men in the group had no legitimate documentation and everyone in the group came from different states such as Malacca, Perak, Kedah and Johor.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah when contacted confirmed the incident.
He said all group members are being detained by the police for questioning.

transfer THE HEADMASTER IS THE ONLY SOLUTION----NO ALTERNATIVE

SACK THE DAMNED HEADMASTER AND ALL TEACHERS RESPONSIBLE.
---------------
PETALING JAYA: The nine-year-old daughter of whistleblower Guneswari Kelly who first highlighted the makeshift canteen-in-a-changing room at SK Seri Pristana in Sungai Buloh is facing tremendous pressure in her school, forcing her parents to even consider transferring her to another school.

“This poor child is being victimised for what her mother exposed. She is being isolated by the teachers and even her classmates,” said a parent who is close to Guneswari.

The parent added that the ‘attacks’ on the Year 3 student started the very next day after the issue hit the national spotlight following wide media coverage.

“Her teacher blamed her in front of her classmates that it was her fault for the school to be in the limelight. The girl was very distraught and embarrassed by this finger-pointing.

“And then when the education authorities conducted an inquiry on the makeshift canteen, this girl was told that she was not required to take part in the fact-finding session.

“But it only got worse as even her friends started staying away from her. No one is speaking to this girl and she is very heartbroken by the whole incident,” said the parent.

...

Another parent, meanwhile, lashed out at the school headmaster Mohamad Nasir Mohd Noor for refusing to meet them to discuss the way forward from this issue.
“We are still waiting for him to meet us and to move on. This issue can’t continue to linger. The school must stop blaming the non-Muslim students and turn this into a race issue,” said a father of a student in the school.

He added that there were also other incidents of teachers mocking non-Muslim students, intimidating them and ridiculing them for the makeshift canteen exposé."

S&P team will be in Malaysia in September 2013 for the rating review exercise. SEPTEMBER WILL BE INTERESTING MONTH.............

S&P team will be in Malaysia in September 2013 for the rating review exercise.
 
SEPTEMBER


WILL BE INTERESTING MONTH............. 

Budget 2014 to be unveiled at the Parliement on 25 Oct 2013......... 

Fitch ratings downgrade of Malaysia's outlook no surprise, analysts say

KUALA LUMPUR:  As the market reacted anxiously to Fitch Ratings' move to downgrade Malaysia's sovereign credit rating outlook to Negative from Stable, analysts say the decision by the ratings agency came as "no surprise".

According to CIMB Equities Research, it had previously mentioned the risk of the Big 3 rating agencies - Moody's, S&P, Fitch - downgrading Malaysia's sovereign credit rating outlook if there was no clear indications from the government on fiscal reforms regarding subsidies, taxes and government spending after the election. 

Unfortunately, there has indeed been none. 

The research house pointed to the stasis in the implementation of the GST and the request put in earlier this month in Parliament by the government to add RM12bil to Budget 2013 via supplementary budget, as examples.

The Fitch downgrade on Tuesday, which still maintained the country's existing high investment-grade ratings of "A-" on long-term foreign debt and "A" on long-term local debt, appears to have already spooked the market, with BIMB Securities Research saying it may have triggered a flight of foreign funds out of the country on the very same day.

Before the announcement was made by Fitch on Tuesday, the FBM KLCI closed down 3.7% at 1,795.08 points on profit-taking, while government bond yields climb to their highest level since April 2011 and the ringgit weakened to a three-year low. 


At midday on Wednesday, the Malaysia's blue chips came under selling pressure, with fund selling seen in Maybank and CIMB which was sparked by Fitch Rating's downgrade. The KLCI was down 17.88 points to 1,777.20 at midday.


BIMB Securities Research pointed to Malaysia's public finances as its key rating weakness.
Federal Government debt rose to 53.3% of GDP at the end-2012, up from 51.6% at end-2011 and 39.8% at end-2008. The general government budget deficit (Fitch basis) also widened to 4.7% of GDP in 2012 from 3.8% in 2011, led by a 19% rise in spending on public wages in a pre-election year.


Hong Leong Investment Bank Research said while the downgrade came earlier than expected, it was already negative on the fundamental aspect of emerging Asia. The research house said it was hopeful the Fitch downgrade would lead to a revisit of fundamentals in Malaysia. 


"Due to high foreign shareholding (of more than 47% in Malaysian government securities and 25.2% in equities), we expect both fixed income and equity markets to experience heightened volatility. 


"Nevertheless, we do not expect a crisis as BNM has enhanced banking surveillance; reserves are at all-time high, and government debt is mostly financed domestically," it said.


Meanwhile CIMB Research said the Standard & Poor's team - which had affirmed Malaysia's Stable outlook five days prior to the Fitch downgrade - is reportedly heading to Malaysia in September for ratings review exercise. 

Stressing that the government was now under pressure to act, it said it expects Budget 2014 presentation on Oct 25 to provide clarity on fiscal policy issues and direction.  


Affin Investment Research pointed out that Fitch had warned that Malaysia's long-term foreign and local currency ratings could also be downgraded in the future, if Malaysia's fiscal performance continued to deteriorate and constrain its sovereign ratings.


"The risk of a downgrade in the country's credit ratings will make it expensive for Malaysia to borrow money from abroad. A lower rating will also dampen investment flow into Malaysia's equity and bond markets, with negative perceptions of the country's deteriorating credit quality," it said


However, it reiterated that Malaysia's economic fundamentals remained sound, with economic outlook improving, current account surpluses sustainable (albeit narrowing), and foreign exchange reserves steadily increasing. 


It is unlikely that other international rating agencies, such as S&P or Moody's, will downgrade Malaysia's sovereign rating outlook to negative in the near term.


We believe the government is committed to a lower budget deficit of 4% of GDP in 2013 (4.5% of GDP in 2012), as well as sustaining government debt as well as contingent liabilities.

http://1-million-dollar-blog.com/hottest-scams-in-malaysia/


Scam


Previously, we looked at Most Commonly Used Tricks by Investment & MLM Scamswhich contributed by stopscams007 from Low Yat Forum. He also make a good compilation on the hottest scams in Malaysia. I hope with the list we are more aware of potential scams and lesser people will fall to be victims.


Here are the lists.


1.) The Cafe Scams – Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner(strange, both in Pandan Indah) – Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what’s the point when they run away ? Stevens Corner, the famous indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called StevensTeaGarden. Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.



2.) Sunshine Empire – This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building. They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 2 or 3 months ago, Singapore’s Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).
Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet.
The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isn’t this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just “employed”. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.
Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank to be freezed ? They are all transfered away. It’s just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid “e-bonus-points” which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount. So victims act like Vampires and “forced” to victimise other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…..


3.) MOBILWALLET – This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.


4.) Water businesses – Oxygenated and alkaline water products – Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick. One of the better known Company that sold “oxygen” water is SITO(supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them.
(Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, beware !!)
Alkaline Products – Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ? The stomach’s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.


5.) Car Fuel Booster – K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the “cock-ring” and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.


6.) Perfumery Products (eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)(more details later). Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia. Must thanks to those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air have closed in Malaysia. LB is almost zero in Singapore. This perfumery product from France with over 100 years history are just bottles and fragrances(check the factory’s website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed “aromatheraphy” products. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK’s TVB already apologised to them(no evidence, of course). Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM Scam is their members will go all the way to lie in order to defend for their Company. The reason is simple; these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed. Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claime to have over 100 years history in France.(Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia). Mostly only Bumis active members now but their top earner Steven Yeam have already left and started a new MLM Company(see NEW SCAMS below).


7.) Energy Products (eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo ? So what if there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the body ? Are those simple products made of some simple materials worth RM300 to up to RM3000 each ? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new thread soon.(more details later)


8.) Hi-Tech products (names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, eg Bio-Young and XKL few years ago). Most of these will claimed a professor behind them(even with name and picture of a person) or used words like “U.S.A. formula”, “German Technology” or “Nanotechnology” but with no further details. If you ask for more details like the professor or factory’s address, the answer will be “trade secrets”.


9.) Investment Schemes – SWISSCASH is the King of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on.(Now, it’s closed or stopped paying back members)
10.) GoldQuest – This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2,000 have several names and changed products several times. QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc. They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person(in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for having involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some “energy” products.(Can someone please provide a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam in Philippines and was arrested last year ?)


11.) Numerology & Fortune telling – A Company named Visiber is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on Numerology fortune telling. Prpspects will be told that they need to buy a certain “number” between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of silver with stainless steel or platinum plated, and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off Companies have started.


12.) MJ-Life – This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why do I consider it a scam or bad ? New members are told to pay a sum of money(up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres. They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It’s not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.


13.) Seaweed Venture Scams – 1 such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by “insurance” or “unit trusts” & “trustees”. When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimised.


14.) MXM(previously MGM) – This is a master scam owned by a Dato Kam(Pathlab) tapping the younger group, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since they moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-don’t-need medical check-ups from their associate Company Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.


15.) Gano Excel/I-Touch Life/GEW2u – This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office. It did not work well and recently in mid-2009 changed name to GEW.


16.) NuLife(HK) – This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang(he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in Malaysia. Watch out, this new Company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.


17.) Arowana Fish Breeding, Oora from Germany, Biofuel (Kompleks Maluri) etc – These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections(just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany(I never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later. They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a different thread.

18.) Easy-Pharmax – How could I missed this out earlier. I thought I mentioned this until I got e-mails asking me about it. This is easily in the TOP 3 during the last 2 years. Owned by a Dato Yeap(another Dato !!) Members are tricked to invest up to RM40,000 with the false promise that the Company will use e-commerce and online selling to dispose their goods and recover their monies. It won’t happen, of course.

19.) Gold Investment Scheme – This is an old trick but back again by several Companies promising a GURANTEE FIXED RETURN income like many other schemes. Try to ask for a copy of their fixed return agreement and consult your lawyer. Common sense tell you any business that promises a fixed return to UNLIMITED numbers of investors, higher than bank interests must be a scam.


20.) Score-A or Skor-A – This Company sells you an online program of past Malaysian examinations papers for primary and secondary school students for self-testing for up to a few hundred RMs per membership. It actually cost them nothing. Members are told to invest in a few units, again using MLM with the promise of getting rich. The same program can be purchased from Utusan for just a fraction of their price and you can get better programs.


NEW SCAMS

21.) GRI (Global Royal International) – The boss behind this scheme is multi-billionaire James Pang(the big scammer waiting for trial in Singapore because of Sunshine Empire). Before Sunshine Empire, he operated NOP and SwissCash. This time, he is using a lot of representatives and MLM leaders since his passport is held by Singapore government and he cannot come to Malaysia. I am told that anyone who is bold enough to call himself a MLM leader in Malaysia can visit his rep in Malaysia or Singapre and they will be given at least RM5,000 as some expenses subdsidy if you are willing to market for them.


22.) One Community Worldwide – Tapping a mostly Bumi market and owned by Steven Yeam(SYN) and Willie Lim of Lampe Berger previously(the Chinese no longer trust them). They are selling a negative ion mattress for RM25,000 !! The same modal, I have seen before for RM2000 from Korea. If you cannot afford RM25K ??? You can buy therapy package for RM300. Don’t believe in such product ? You can go for some chlorostrum(virgin cow’s milk from nowhere)


23.) English-Learning Program Online – ESL(an online English learning program) You are asked to pay RM100 for one or 2 years usage of online learning. Started by a Malaysian Indian man by the name of Dr. Edward, this program has changed names at least 2 or 3 times since the last one year due to poor response and a lot of “technical problems”. I consider it a scam because you are paying money for nothing tangible to direct-selling company through MLM and their program has been very “unstable” as my source put it.


24.) Genius Theme’s vacation and rewards package. Such timeshare holidays scheme are being sold for RM400 to RM499 and you are promised a few nights stay in Thailand or Bali. Started by a Company name Max Generation, they wholesale to some MLM Company and other Company like Sen Heng, one of them is Genius Theme, a subsidy of a Maxis agent Company. Looks like many people will lose money. If this Company runs away, those hotels and the MLM Companies need NOT be responsible. Genius Theme is using MLM and direct sale to sell for RM499 or RM599(include a flying experience) while Sen Heng is giving it away free if you purchase over RM2000 products. Of course, they are othere hidden costs to be paid, it’s NOT really free unless you pay MORE upfront.


25.) Another one is an “online gaming” program using MLM, started by Steve Tan, founder of Xango in Malaysia, also aimed at youngsters.
