Skim Cepat Kaya - Penipuan Di Sebalik Pelaburan Internet Palsu

There is a lot of good information on the Internet warning unsuspecting investors about the dangers of investing in an illegal Internet get rich scheme. However many of these articles are written in English and as we know there are many people who are searching for this info using Bahasa Melayu.

So for the benefit of these searches and as an experiment, I am writing this blog post in Bahasa Melayu. Here we go:

Malaysia Securities Commission Investor Alert List

The Malaysia securities commission (SC) or Suruhanjaya Sekuriti is a body set up to regulate and develop the Malaysian capital market.

If you are an investor in an Internet investment scheme, you can refer to an alert list from their website to check whether the scheme your are involved with is authorized nor approved under the Malaysian securities laws.

The following list of websites is conducting Internet investment schemes by illegally taking deposit, an offence under Malaysian law. I’ve reproduced the current list for reference, latest list available here.

LHDN e-Filing Security Problem Fixed

I posted earlier about a discovery made by a blogger about the data leak he was experiencing why filling his tax returns.

Just want to update that the problem has been fixed.

Thanks for repeating and just to inform you I’m met someone in the Taxation industry and they are close with LHDN and will assist me to clear this up and hope to arrange a proper meet up to verify the info I saw and print screened is true and not fabricated. I also ask them about your company and Najlah and they verified that as well so no point to assume anywise. Thanks again for contacting me in the 1st place to help.

Is Swiss Mutual Fund & Swiss Cash a Scam?

I was reading the readers’ letters section in our local newspaper recently where a guy wrote in voicing his concern over the authorities’ negative attitude towards the Internet investment schemes that are becoming the latest craze here in Malaysia.

I can’t recall exactly what he wrote but it went something like these schemes offer an opportunity for the low income group to improve their livelihood while participating in the country’s ICT development.. The authorities plans to crackdown these scheme were unwarranted according to him.

I have nothing against improving livelihood through ICT but what concern me was he didn’t realise those schemes got him off on the wrong foot.

Internet Investment Scheme Banned By National Fatwa Council

I came across a shocking headline while reading AFP news recently which says the Malaysia fatwa against Internet trading.

The news reads :

“A Muslim council in Malaysia has issued a religious ruling or fatwa banning people from using the Internet to trade shares or makes investments.”

Regardless of one’s religion, this banning is worrying to those who are working and doing business on the Internet in Malaysia.

I started to imagine how this could seriously hamper the development of e-commerce and the future of doing business via the Internet in Malaysia.

Blogger Discovered LHDN e-Filing Security Vulnerability

You know I’ve always wondered how secure the LHDN e-filing system was. When the publics’ private and confidential info is involved, there’s no excuse for them not to build a robust, scalable and secure system.

With a mantra ‘Mudah Tepat Selamat’ (Easy Accurate Secure) – one would expect they have done rigorous testings to ensure the system lives to its expectation.

Unfortunately, Rickey of WattaHack has written an alarming post regarding a serious security flaw he discovered while filling his tax returns via LHDN e-Filing recently.

Pay-Per-Download Music Subscription Service Is Here in Malaysia

An article at The Star Online has reported that, MyMix a local company is offering full song downloads for mobile phones users starting from June this year.

There’s no final word as yet on how much this will cost but it’s expected that they are offering a package of 20 songs between RM 10 and RM 20.

The second package will allow the user to download unlimited song which could cost less than RM 30 per month.

4 Mbps Broadband Will Be Available To TM Customers Soon

Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) is partnering with US-based Verizon Business to offer cheaper, faster and more reliable broadband package soon.

Verizon’s network will offer additional redundancy link in case of nature disasters or other mishaps like what had happened during the quake off the coast of Taiwan in December last year.

Unfortunately no figures were disclosed as to how these translate into the exact package their will offer. However, TM CEO, Datuk Abdul Wahid Omar revealed that TM will offer a 4 Mbps broadband package soon.

Under 30, Online and World Beating

The Observer, a UK Sunday newspaper has an article up about under 30 UK entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of the web.

You might have never heard most of them except one guy named Alex Tew who hit the jackpot in 2005 with his website Million Dollar Homepage idea.

With the diminishing cost of hardware, the cost of entry is getting cheaper.
All you need is a computer, an Internet connection and an idea. The profit margin is typically higher compare to what a brick and mortar shop is getting.
