With the fresh new year, more cars are 35 years old now. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with importing classic cars into the country? What are the associated fees etc. If there's any reputable dealerships that offer this service too, would be good! Just want to know if there are any experienced veterans here who can give some tips.

Hello guys, I'm studying and will be sitting for SPM examination.. And I wanted to hear from you guys about my career choice. I have admired the subject 'Physics' and planning on to be a physicist. But my relatives suggested me to take Engineering instead. What are the difference between those two?

If you’re good, get promoted to senior level or manager for more money.

You don’t have to decide this now.", "Thanks, I think I should decide this after finishing SPM :D" ], [ "Not too sure about the situation in Malaysia particularly. It also depends on your thoughts. A basic bachelor's degree in Physics (in most advanced countries) is not sufficient for academic careers.

So bear in mind that it is probably a 7-8 year pursuit if things go well. There are also research physicists in industry or government research facilities. Broadly speaking, you might have to choose between experimental physics and theoretical physics later if you enter academia/research.

Need help with Maybank transaction refund. I think I got scammed.
/r/malaysia/comments/18zwejo/need_help_with_maybank_transaction_refund_i_think/

[]
Saw an item I liked on Carousell. Contacted seller. Moved conversation to WhatsApp. Seller sent Maybank account details, along with pictures of item packed with POSlaju consignment note. I made the payment, but seller has not shipped item yet. Been contacting him for last 3-4 days. Messages are not being delivered on WhatsApp. Basically, I think I got scammed, and I want to get my money back. Is there any possible way for me to get it back? Edit: forgot to mention. I’m an expat, and it’s only been 1 month here for me. So I don’t really know much about any police/bank procedures to follow.
[ [ "OP, this is a common scam tactic on any selling platform. Never ever deal outside the platform, you will not get buyer's protection. You cannot ask for refund.\nThe only thing you can do is report the seller on Carousell and make a police report at the nearest station. I doubt you'll get your money back though.\nNext time, be sure to deal only on the selling platform. It also helps in seeing the seller's ratings and sold products. Scammers don't usually use their own bank account as that's easily traceable. They'll be using mule accounts. Check here first if in doubt: semakmule.rmp.gov.my.", "I checked on semakmule, because the seller itself told me to check. And no reports came up.", "Just because it isn't there, just means the account isn't reported yet or they just got their hands on it. That will be your job when making the police report. The main red flag here is trying to make a transaction outside the platform. The reason is simple. It's so you can't ask for a refund so easily. And they can simply block you.", "if the seller asks you to check mean that if they are a scammer and they know their name is not on it, you will trust them 100% now." ], [ "They can't help because you willingly conducted the transaction." ], [ "Take this as an expensive lesson. Next time, never take the convo to whatsapp no matter how cheap cheap one. And use carousel pay. It has protection over your money and will only release the money to seller after you received the item.\nYou can make a police report. They will make note of the seller and phone number. But nothing can be done to get your money back as it is referred to as a “willing transaction”.\nSorry OP." ], [ "The only thing you can do now is report via the platform and the police, with screenshots of the evidence and all info you have about the scammer. The bank won't be able to do anything I'm afraid and I wouldn't expect the money back, but hey better than nothing.\nYour first mistake was moving the transaction deal out of the platform and onto WhatsApp. The warnings on Carousel are there for a purpose, I mean they even block you from inputting phone numbers. If the seller is adamant that you move to another platform, tell them that you are uncomfortable with doing that and prefer to use Carousel. Otherwise, just give up, not worth the risk.\nAnyway, take it as a painful lesson I guess. Some scammers will even send you a QR or link (which will lead you to a third party website made to look like an official thing) to make payment, don't fall for it. Only make the conversation, deal AND payment via the platform, easier to hold the seller accountable too." ], [ "You won’t get it back. I’m sorry this happened to you. That being said, there have been a million stories here of the same scam. Only way you will be insured is if you stayed on Carousell’s platform." ], [ "> Moved conversation to WhatsApp" ], [ "Unfortunately you won't get your money back.\nI always use this rule when buying online: Always pay via the platform, never transfer directly." ], [ "No way. Make a police report with the details you have." ], [ "There is no way you're getting your money back. Consider it as a lesson." ], [ "Tldr\nSorry for your loss, as long it is locally purchased and transfer there is nothing u can do .\nEven with police report u wont get back the money.\nU can do is spread the info u have to social media and report to bank that the account is scammer and report to bnm . They will do something for you , then on your side u must keep talking to the scammers everyday even it is the sms message .\nAll the best" ], [ "There is a 997 scam hotline." ], [ "You can call 997 to report and also Maybank." ], [ "Sorry to hear about your situation here OP. Perhaps you can share the scammers carousel ID, full name and bank details here so that those who’s on carousel would know not to deal with that person." ], [ "OP, if you wanna buy something on Carousell, PLEASE make sure the seller is under Carousell Protection/Buyer Protection (they'll get the money only after you received the item. If they scammed you, Carousell will give your money back). ALWAYS use the website to pay (there's a buy button) or Carousell won't entertain your refund request. Some sellers hate Carousell Protection because they get the money late so please ignore these sellers. There are lots of scammers on that website.\nAlways prefer COD if it's an option." ] ]

When they post in ads platform on mudah, facebook and propertyguru saying that the price is 900 when ws and pm them they said the 900 is rent out (almost all agent did this stupid trick). The only unit left is 1100 after view saying the price is 1200. Idk who tf start this stupid trick.

I heard working in malaysia is not allowed if youre an international student. However if i get a remote job, and im paid online... will it still be allowed. Eg if im working from another country ?

I know a few who does that, but not on permanent employment basis like they getting a monthly salary, but more like gigs and short contract basis." ], [ "You can if the contract is not with a Malaysian employer with an employment contract." ] ]
