On top of this, your courier will typically charge you a handling fee of RM50 if you elect them as a representative on your behalf if the SST isn't charged on the seller's platform in advance and only charged when your package reaches customs. Unless you of course elect to head to customs office at KLIA to do clearance which will also incur an additional service fee of 10% of your taxed value (eg. tax to be paid is RM120, add another RM12 to it).\nA better implementation would be to allow for payment and collection at your district's post office which would require more warehouse space but save a lot of time for the common folk, revise/reduce the requirement of the agent fee which is often higher than the taxed value or revise the de minimis legislation.

And even then, raising tax revenue is only one piece of the puzzle.\nFor Malaysia specifically, apart from a low tax revenue relative to its GDP (at 11%, when regional neighbours’ average is around 15%), the problems also lie in the high debt ratio to GDP, a big fiscal deficit that outsizes regional neighbours’, and a big chunk of the government revenue going to blanket subsidies.\nWhat the government needs to do is to reduce its spending and raise its revenue. Just like a company’s turnaround objective, which is to increase sales and cut costs.\nIf bond investors are convinced by the soundness of Malaysia’s fiscal position, then they may be more comfortable buying our bonds. That could help with the ringgit’s value because buying Malaysian bonds would generate demand for the ringgit, since they are denominated in the local currency.\nAlso, Malaysia’s economy needs to be jump-started again. Our growth is decent, but there’s nothing really interesting for investors to buy into. That’s why the government is working hard to rope in new investors and build new industries like renewable energy and high-value microchips. Hopefully, in the long run, that could create a domino effect on the economy." ] ]

You may be happy with the lower pay, but a hiring manager may not be as convinced, sometimes a willingness to accept a lower pay can be seen as a red flag.\nA good idea is to look for recruitment agencies who specialize in banking industry, another way is to look out for specific individuals on LinkedIn and then email them directly (a few candidates tried that with me, and while that was a bit forward, I appreciated that and have granted these candidates interviews).\nAll the best - working in KL is a good experience, and I wish you luck in your job search.", "are you sure about this?

Also, as a fresh grad with less skills, you want the powerful branding of an MNC as an early addition to your profile. Yes, if you’re good you’re good but in a sea of 1000 applicants you’re not going to stand out.

I had to juggle a lot of different responsibilities and since it was a small company I also picked up important social/networking skills directly from my bosses and coworkers who mentored me. I was also directly involved in the projects and with stakeholders.\nI’m in a MNC now and it can feel like you’re just another cog in the machine sometimes. Small fish in a big pond.

There are many smaller companies that don't even use any kind of version control system to store and organise their source codes. Their code is a mess with no discipline and basically cowboy coding with almost no quality control. I started my career in MNC and really appreciate the experience I've learnt about clean coding practices, learning from peer review, proper source code versioning, releases and quality controls when I join a small SME.

It's a big place and no one is there to look out for you. You have to take initiative if you want to learn something\nRoles are highly specialized - you'll be doing your own job and no one's else\nBig org - lots of internal career opportunites both in-country and overseas. For some can be daunting - hard to navigate, find the right person to get approval etc. Or having multiple bosses to report too (you report to an engineering manager, but will work with the sales/operations team requiring your input too)\nLots of standard process - can be a given it helping things running smoothly, but can be stiffling at times (approval for documentation needs to go through 2-3 layers etc)\nMore pay and more benefits" ] ]

I'm just speaking from an economic standpoint. Roughly speaking, some of the reasons why international flight ticket may cost less than domestic:\nAirplane used - domestic flights usually use smaller planes, hence lower number of passengers. So, less people have to \"share\" the cost of the flight.\nCompetition - more airlines competing in the same route, so have to lower price to ensure at least minimal occupancy rate so that the flight would break even, if not make profit.\nDemand - international routes usually have bigger demand. So they have the leeway to \"play\" with the prices.\nThere may be few more, idk. But they're all related, more or less. Sure, corporate greed may play a part but people tend to forget flying isn't a cheap form of travel. Fuel price, airport fare, wages etc, they're not cheap. That's the reason why many airlines are in the red anyway.\nP/s: yeah, AirAsia is a major shithead", "\"AirAsia is a major shithead\"\nWhat did they do, did I miss something?", "Because they exist? Nah, just kidding. I had multiple bad experiences with AirAsia, although I've been through worse with other budget airlines too.\nFrequent delays/rescheduling of flights is a major problem especially when you're traveling for work. They're bad at refunding people's money too. Plus, people who fell for the unlimited flight pass fiasco in 2020-2021 would never forget.\nPeople would say \"you buy cheap, you get cheap experience\". Sure, it's a budget airline. But bad customer service is still bad customer service no matter how you put it.", "oooh plenty. Let me name one or two\nIn the past MAS had this \"RURAL AIR SERVICES\". Got forcibly taken away because AA thought 'hey we can do that and make profit'. Then surprise pikachu face when they found out they bled more than they could wring the locals dry. So they had to remove it, but RAS needs to go on. Solution? Twist MAS's arm to force them to swallow everything, back.\nAnother that's really fun. BKI had flights dominated by AA. Then a company came in and said \"hey we can do this\". For a time they did BKI-KL and cheaper too (hey, all in fares that's on par with AA? Sureeeeeeeeeeeee). Then the MAS-AA share swap deal got in, and suddenly that company stopped flying anything remotely \"Borneo\", when they had been doing that for quite a while. All of a sudden, AA was the only choice, again.\nNot to mention all the \"we don't want to pay tax\" stunts that so many idiots supported them for, only for them to be spit right in the face \"leopards ate my face style\" by AirAsia when their shares took a tumble and can't even repay their tickets (and still can't).\nOoh, there's one more juicy one, about the 10 MAS planes that AirAsia returned, but that one I think better let those MAS engineers tell you the story.", "To me, demand for some flights in Sabah routes are always packed, that's why airlines can always demand for high prices. Some, will not.\nFor example, Bintulu to KK flights are often mid-filled, but its generally full during peak seasons. But the flight exists, only because its on a KL-BTU-BKI-KL rotation. Meaning it exists because KL-BKI and KL-BTU routes can be filled up,.\nThere are some routes that are just not profitable, but they will fill up. Example, BKI-SDK, BKI-TWU, but not SDK-TWU (because despite the 300km distance, if you calculate the TIME you spend from the moment you leave the house you might just better off drive which is similar anyway, probably that's why, but people prefer flying on the plane than suffer 6 hours of bumpy moon-crater like drive, I jest. ).\nBut here's the kicker. You can get KL-(name your overseas flight) far cheaper than any local destination to local destination. That till today, baffles me. I find it illogical that its cheaper to fly to Korea, Australia, or other SEA destinations than to fly within Sabah and Sarawak.", "Again, I'm not saying that the demand is not there nor airlines should deliberately make domestic flights expensive.\nI fly to Labuan at least 5-6 times every year so I get it when people say flights to Borneo are just so damn expensive. Then again, I also understand that businesses are there to make a profit first and foremost. They have people who are hired to make feasibility study on each route.\nThe demand for domestic flights is certainly there. Still, I can't say for sure that they're definitely higher than international flights. Especially the routes with lots of promo prices.\nIf we factor in all the reasons that I may or may not have stated in my previous comment, it might actually be more feasible for them to do so. People might say \"use bigger planes to fit more passengers\". If so, it would cost more due to more fuel and labour to say the least.\nTbh, we'll need a finance expert who's well-versed in airlines industry to elaborate more on this. Not everything in the world is to be blamed on corporate greed. If anything, it's the world that we should blame for making it possible for them to make profit.", "Flying bigger planes is not the answer, that much i know. And not like all airports in Sabah can anyway. There is almost no incentives to.\nBasically there is something going on, but passengers flying local got gamed to pay throat cutting prices because the corpos know they can. That's the power of monopoly, when literally only one airline controls the market.", "Not exactly true tho. AirAsia is a dominant player for budget flights, sure. But both MAS and AirAsia operate domestic flights, either doing it on their own or with their subsidiaries. Malindo also operate flights at least to KK afaik, albeit somewhat limited. Some international airlines like Shanghai Airlines also operate connecting flights to East Malaysia too.\nRather than monopoly, duopoly would be a better term although it's not correct either. Some might accuse them of acting like a cartel, sure. But tbh, it's just the fact that our domestic market is not exactly attractive enough for others to come in and fight for a share.\nCreating a new airline? Sure, competition would be great. But if we look at it differently, that's just adding another carnivore in front of a small deer that's surrounded by a pack of lions (is that even a good analogy idk). Heck, nobody wants to see another MYAirline.", "Well that is the reality of supply and demand plus fuel prices are much higher than pre pandemic and majority of an airline's expenses are in USD, our weak ringgit made it worse", "Well, we had 2 choices.\nPut a price cap, and let the airlines deal with it.\nGive them a subsidy, and let airlines deal with it.\nOur govt choose 2, and we're still not getting \"better prices\" while those damn corpos are laughing to the bank while squeezing the tits out of the govt coffers.", "I think it is only fair if you acknowledge the downsides of a price cap as well, there will probably be supply and demand imbalances (less availability of tickets) especially during peak periods since there will be less incentive for airlines to operate more flights and this can potentially create more issues. Airlines can also potentially scrap routes if it is not viable especially if the Ringgit continues to weaken or crude oil prices continue to rise.\nAlthough a subsidy will also benefit the airline company, imo a subsidy is a more viable solution considering the downsides of a price cap. There is a reason why governments around the world try to avoid implementing price caps unless they really have to.", "Of course there is a big downside to price cap, and that is every airline decides to just not fly Sabah Sarawak, but do you think all airlines will want to ignore Sabah Sarawak? That will beautifully shoot themselves in the nutsack, even as a PR move.\nLike i said, somebody will have to fill the vacuum if the void is created. While i don't like MAS potentially being made the scapegoat again, a price cap sends a strong signals the government's intention on one thing: stop messing around with extreme profiteering.\nA subsidy only encourages airlines like AirAsia to do unscrupulous moves. It incentivizes them to pull stunts like cancel a flight, make passengers re book and pay extra fee. It encourages them to double, triple dip into profiteering.\nI'm not saying that price capping is the only means . I. Fact maybe multi solutions are better, but one thing is for sure. Those damn prices have to go down, somehow, someway, if flying overseas is cheaper than flying within Malaysia." ], [ "The subsidised air fares are really essential esp for those living in Sarawak's interior.\nBeen to Bario, 45 mins flight from Miri (or 24 hours by Hilux via logging roads).

Stay overnight there instead, just for that night. If money is tight, you can always opt for a dorm bed at a hostel or, for more security, a pod hotel. If Geylang (red light district) sounds too scary, other budget options are Little India (quiet ever since public drinking laws were introduced), Chinatown, Clarke Quay, plus a few places at Lavender. Cheapest quotes I'm seeing online are S$35-40 per day.\nThe forward trip is doable since you shall have the entire daytime to cross the border. Despite it being Hari Raya Puasa, I don't expect the entire Muslim population to leave town (lol) except for those going for family gatherings/reunions. It's also occurring in midweek next year (so no long weekend) & isn't taking place in June (school holidays) so there's less incentive for the Chinese majority to plan any getaway trips\nThe return trip is another matter, however. Firstly, I don't think the cross-border buses (Causeway Link) operate that late at night; do your own research to confirm this. Public bus 170 does have a later last bus (12:10am, 20-30 min intervals after 7pm) but you'll have to make your way to the Queen Street terminal (near Bugis MRT).\nThe licensed cross-border taxi service is also there (next door), although I'm not sure many drivers are active that late (call the hotlines to check). Their fixed fare has also increased post-pandemic (I believe S$60 now) but you can split it 4 ways (so S$15 each) if you can find 3 other passengers on the spot. Take note that Malaysian cabs can drop you off at the doorstep, but not Singapore cabs. (The vehicles are differently coloured, not sure if this has changed.) Depending on where you end up in JB, you may need to find further transportation for the last-mile journey.\nThe most stressful part is getting to Queen Street. You see, 11pm to 12am is very unpredictable even for locals, since the process involves juggling last-bus & last-train timings depending on where you plan to board & transfer. All the info are published online, so check carefully & see whether it's entirely feasible & how much you'll need to hurry at each stage. If you arrive too late, then the only ad-hoc option is to take a taxi, except SG taxi drivers habitually take their supper break from 11pm to wait for the 50% midnight surcharge to kick in. Not only that, they take their kopitiam breaks in the HDB heartlands too, unwilling to drive back to downtown without a paid fare.\nBetter to skip all such hassles, & opt for a peaceful sleep instead.\nAs for \"private taxis\" advertising online & promising doorstep-to-doorstep at fixed fares (typically S$100-150), they're unlicensed & aren't insured so book them at your own risk.\nEDIT: oh yeah, do familiarize yourself with the new SG Arrival Card (which replaces the old Disembarkation Card) which will be assessed by the border official. If the format hasn't changed, you can click on 'Day Trip' instead of providing 'Accommodation' (hotel) details according to a past Tripadvisor SG forum post.

[ [ "Short answer (that everyone jumps to in conclusion): Protecting Proton and Perodua\nThe long answer: Protecting Proton and Perodua is not just the only reason why kei cars are never sold outside of Japan. Their size would not comply with global safety regulations. Even if the modern ones like the N-Box in the OPs photo offer 6 airbags and advanced safety kit, they are not tested in crash tests.\nBesides, kei cars are designed to be used in the city and while there is an appeal outside of the country, they are clowned upon by the Japanese. Their popularity is due to the incentives like insurance, tax, and parking (you need to prove that you have a space to store your car before buying one).\nOutside of the congested cities, driving a kei car is downright dangerous on highways especially modern ones. Their tall size is a quirk on its own but driving one as all the other cars overtake you is a pretty scary experience.\nBecause these models are made for the Japanese markets, it’s up to the company whether it would be feasible to bring them in. Most of the time, they wouldn’t bother bringing them officially since it consumes time and money to make them suitable to different countries’ regulations.\nThe grey imports found a niche that attracts certain buyers by bringing kei cars in. They are expensive and remain out of reach. In Japan, a kei car on average costs around RM 50,000 after conversion which in Malaysia is equivalent to a base new Myvi.\nIn the end though, the real answer to why kei cars are never brought over officially is more than just protecting Proton and Perodua. Perodua did start off by offering models that meet the kei car regulations but as buyers demanded more features, a larger engine, and more space, it outgrew the tiny regulations.\nSo if you want a kei car, it will only be through recons sold via grey import.

Since the S660 is a standalone model, the methods used justify the FD2 Civic Type R for Malaysia doesn’t apply.\nThere were many concerns, the biggest of all is legal liabilities. For example, the S660 was never built to cope with driving conditions outside of Japan and the Japanese engineers are quite familiar with how (bad) our driving conditions are and how Malaysians treat the North South Highway like it’s an autobahn, except that it’s far more demanding than a German autobahn due to our tropical heat and humidity.", "This comment contains a Collectible Expression, which are not available on old Reddit.\nHey now, get your well research evidence back answer out of here.

It's not conclusive but a generic categorisation.\n(1) People who can only speak Chinese fluently, usually prefer to mainly use voice note. They could have poor writing skills for all languages including Chinese. Quite common among those Chinese educated who didn't do well in school, and older folks who primarily speak Chinese.\n(2) People who are English educated but can speak Chinese fluently would usually text in English. If they feel needed to express certain things better, Chinese words are written in Romanised texts and may even throw in Malay words in conversations. I think this may also include those who speak Cantonese instead of Mandarin, and as far as I know Cantonese writing is harder as it uses traditional Chinese so those who didn't learn it probably find it more convenient to just type in English.\n(3) If both persons went to Chinese school and thus have decent writing skills, it's likely texts are written mainly in Chinese exactly like how they communicate face to face. Usually these people can switch to English if it's a large group, or someone who can't read/write Chinese is in the group and the particular message is to include that person.\nI know there are other sub groups but it's about getting the intended message across anyway, doesn't matter what language, to ensure the other person gets it.

Only good news, and good things that happens to them.\nNot only that, when you post too much about yourself online, for the world to see, it could also attract... Unwanted attention. For example, stalker, etc. I think you understand and get what I mean with my point here, so, I wouldn't elaborate much further.\nOr idk, maybe I'm just weird.\nMy wife rarely posts online and she sometimes do when special stuff happens and our face or sometimes only her face is in it, real question is, are you fine with a girl like that?\nAs for your example, yeah. That's exactly what I want and what I mean when I said my standards. Am I fine with a girl like that? Yeah, sure. In fact, that's the kind of girl that I'm looking for.

But if she intends to run off with another guy, I would pretty much appreciated it if she just tell me in the beginning of our relationship, or before the start if our relationship, as to not waste both of our time. It's like, \"You're not my first rejection bro\" kinda situation.\nSo, how about it? Am I weird and creepy for my standards? (which again, is not mandatory requirement, just an added bonus if she checks the box) Or is that considered normal and acceptable?", "Youre ok, its just your preference. Just dont go an extreme route of madness(like total off grid lol) then youre fine.\nSee? That's one of the reason for my standards\nI want you to know and realize that its not wrong to \"want to show off\" because like it or not everyone does it and it includes you in different ways. Its just that people who dont conform to normal ways of showing off like expensive stuff and social media does so in other means(which they themselves dont realize). We are human beings that need to cope and this is the way we do it: showing off.\nAnyway hence why looking for a girl that shares the same view as you do is important and hard even harder considering shes off the grid lmao. How you gonna find her online when she is the type that doesnt post much? The only way you can is quite literally talk to real people and find out they dont post online. So no, youre not blind, its just people who dont post online are near non existent and super hard to find cause again, social media is what CONNECTS people lol. Like my wife for example, we didnt meet online and I found her irl by pure coincidence.\nI would pretty much appreciated it if she just tell me in the beginning of our relationship\nSadly thats now how life works or people who cheat would do. Plus thats only IF* theyre cheaters. Problem is most issues and arguments also can stem from insecurity with significant others so establishing boundaries and rules is king.\nSo again, you are not a creep, just that you need to start understanding \"why people do things?\" as in why tf they would advertise themselves like that? Refer to my first paragraph here.\nImo you are gonna be fine with a girl who does post photos of herself and her life(like as in prolly more frequent than my significant other) eventually but arent those who goes EXTREME LEVEL of posting A LOT. Those are either local celebrities, influencers, artists or social media maniacs, you can avoid those easily lol. I also personally dont prefer those.

There's a lot of reason, but, let's just say on of the main reason is... If I were to seriously want to have a serious relationship with that person, and having the goal of marrying her in the end... I would prefer, or like if she don't show too much of her personal life for others too see, before and/or after marriage.\nThat being said, it's just bonus, not a requirement.

I've always perceived Skibidi Toilet as something funny and absurd enough that kids follow nowadays - I'm pretty sure we had moments like those when we were young too.

[ [ "I’ll get back to this when I wake up.\nRemindMe! 9 hours", "Are you awake now?", "Sorry for the delay, I am not in good health at the moment.\nI have experience dealing with a logistics company that hire a lot of blue-collar workers - they advertise through a lot of platforms (MYFutureJobs/JobStreet/MauKerja/Jobstore/Kareer/FastJobs/Joblum/etc.). We're starting to see a lot of platforms for blue-collar jobs, which is a good thing for the company. Unfortunately, the number of applicants across all those websites can barely get them the minimum number of applicants required per position before starting the shortlisting process. That's why the company is aggressively posting job vacancies via their social media platforms (which they've never done before).\nThis is the first issue, where an average blue-collar worker might not know how to use these online services to find a job. Maybe it's because of a lack of IT competency or something else, I don't know. I think the company has had greater success with hiring people based on word-of-mouth, referrals or career fairs.\nThe second issue is, we don't really have a targeted platform for blue-collar workers that is as well-designed as platforms like LinkedIn and JobStreet for white-collar professions. Maybe it's because blue-collar jobs require a tailored approach that is more effective via direct company applications or word-of-mouth. You wouldn't expect a mechanic to browse LinkedIn or Jobstreet for mechanic jobs, right? The effectiveness for white-collar jobs does not get carried forward to blue-collar jobs.

It seems the challenge lies not just in the abundance of platforms but in the effectiveness of these platforms for blue-collar workers. The disparity in IT competency among blue-collar workers could indeed be a barrier. But am curious if this applies to technical sectors like semiconductors.\nI'm intrigued by your observation about the success of word-of-mouth and referrals.

I'm back.\nBut am curious if this applies to technical sectors like semiconductors.\nFor assembly-line jobs, there'd usually be giant banners hung around factories or some housing areas - this is one example of direct company application + word-of-mouth once people spread word of it. Far more effective than posting online.\nWhat would make a platform the go-to for these workers instead of the traditional route?\nThere needs to be a bigger push by job portals to be more present \"on the ground\" and be more effective in terms of identifying the right company for the right application (as in, go the extra mile by being a dedicated helping-hand to blue-collar prospects and bridge any gaps/expectations between employer and applicant).

Instead of “exclude keywords”, do you think theres a way that information can be featured as something uploaders can view and incentivise them towards upskilling themselves?\nNegotiation is fair, but having transparency upfront can save time for both parties and set realistic expectations.\nI'd love to brainstorm ways to improve these aspects.

Tackling these challenges requires a more comprehensive approach that involves not only the platforms but also systemic changes in the labor market. Are there platforms that do not screen job listings that do not abide labour laws?
