GST

1. It will be just around the corner for the implementation of GST.
2. So many people are becoming tax experts in the past few months.
3. They have come up with several explanations though.
4. Even, the The Royal Malaysian Customs (RMC) have instructed few higher ranking senior officers to explain to the public about what is GST all about.
5. Unfortunately, some explanations were unacceptable as the senior officers are incompetent especially when dealing with more academic and knowledgeable audiences.  
   
6. I  noticed that some parties have taken advantages of the GST implementation and started to increase the prices of goods gradually few months back.
7. These opportunists are well known of their selfish attitudes and always concerned about their profit margins only.  
8. But.....for ordinary citizens.....1 big question is always in their mind....."Whether the prices of products/services will increase?
9. etc.

A gist of the week.....

I went to Shah Alam recently for my research project under the FRGS grant. It was a great data collection trip as my team members and I managed to visit 3 companies for qualitative data collection.
I also took the opportunity to meet few of alumni during the visit.
Last week also was a special day for me. My nephew's wedding went smoothly as planned, alhamdulillah. Some of the photos are for your pleasure......

Do you recognize him?

This is the same place for my wedding luncheon back in 30/12/2001

A story from Bangkok....

I just came back from Bangkok last week.

A program to launch Malaysia Alumni Council of Thailand was smoothly conducted.

The overall cost to materialize the program was also reasonable.

H.E. Malaysia Ambassador in Thailand Dato Nazirah Hussain was officiated the launching of Malaysia Alumni Council of Thailand.

The organizing team to conduct this program consisted of various representatives from local universities.

I felt so proud the program was successful and good rapport established between UUM and the office of H.E The Ambassador.

Some pictures during the program have been posted in my FB

A spiritual leader deceased......

1. So many people were very sad few weeks ago.
2. A political figure passed away in his home town and created a mass of people given the last respect for him.
3. He was so influential as all his says were taken very seriously by his followers.
4. Some of my relatives, friends and colleagues were among of the followers too.
5. For me, he was an influential figure.
6. But, unfortunately, some of the followers were too obsessed about him.
7. I think it is not right as they seemed perceived him as too perfect.
8. No one is free from making mistakes except the Messengers of Allah.
9. Anyway, I pray for his happiness in the after life.
   
   
10. Al fatihah.
