Minimum wage
I have been wondering why Malaysia doesn’t have a minimum wage law. In New Zealand, every single employer are obligated by law to pay at least NZ$12.50 per hour to their employees, regardless of their profession or position in the company.

Will the dust ever settle?
Many people described the last 12th General Election as a political tsunami for the ruling coalition. Many had also written articles or opinions that contain the phrase “…when the dust settles…” when commenting on the outcome of the election. Apparently, however, the dust is anything but settled, and there’s no indication that it will settle [...]
PETRONAS, Crude Oil, Fuel Prices, etc
In the light of recent oil price increase and the supposedly ‘growing’ people’s discontentment against Petronas due to several politicians’ remarks that question Petronas’ integrity and transparency, I feel obliged to publish this post here. The content is composed and emailed by Petronas’ Media Relations staff and was forwarded to me by a colleague whose [...]
