EPF 8% Means Paying More Income Tax

Taken from email . Really interesting fact . No need to be a mathematician to understand this . 

Assume monthly basic salary is RM4000. 

- If your monthly EPF contribution is  11% ( RM440 ), taxable income = RM3560, income tax payable = RM77. 

- If your monthly EPF contribution is    8% ( RM320 ), taxable income = RM3680, income tax payable = RM109. 

  

Conclusion : If you choose to contribute 8%, you will end up paying more income tax to the government, which will make the government richer. Finance Minister Najib said this measure is meant to boost up the slow-down market, but from this example wee see that the money does not go into the market. Instead the money goes direct into the government's pocket through the greater amount of income tax that we will have to pay. Obviously this measure does not help the market at all. Do we still want this kind of government that doesn't have the best interest of the people in mind? 

  

Recession

Walaupon Najib kata ekonomi kita  stabil kerana pasaran kita  bukan saja tertumpu di Amerika dan Europe dan tak akan menerima kesan ekonomi walaupun banyak company besar dari Amerika telahpun bankrup. Kengkadang aku rasa macam  lawak bagaimana Najib menangani masalah ekonomi negara . Tak mahu melakukan perubahan pada Belanjawan 2009  tapi berani ler pulak nak kurangkan KWSP pekerja . Alasannya , rakyat akan mempunyai kuasa membeli yang lebih kerana percentage yang dicarum dalam KWSP lebih kecil . Aku terasa ini hanyalah penyelesaian jangka pendek sahaja . Bagaimana pulak masa depan pekerja ? Caruman lebih kecil bermaksud simpanan untuk masa depan yang lebih sedikit . 

Walaupun bidang ekonomi bukanlah kepakaran aku ,tapi apabila terlalu banyak company besar bankrupt dan proses membuang pekerja berlaku , aku terasa macam kegawatan akan berlaku .. Dan aku sebagai orang yang bekerja dalam bidang IT , merupakan liabiliti untuk company . Selalunya menjadi mangsa dibuang kerja . Jadi  lebih baik kita sediakan payung sebelum hujan  . Disini aku letakkan beberapa tips yang aku ambil daripada internet.

**Start planning ahead** With talk of an economic recession or downturn looming, you shouldn't wait until later to decide what to do. Begin planning now for the possibility of things getting worse. Now a recession is an economic term that means 2 consecutive periods of negative growth. In other words, GDP falls twice, one right after the other. Now this hasn't happened yet! So technically, we're not in a recession. However, the feeling of a recession, which is a period of economic decline and slowdown is very real. In other words, it feels like a recession and we're suffering. So I say to forget the technical definition and look at things from your own perspective. If you feel you're doing all right financially, then plan ahead for the possibility things take a turn for the worse. And if you're already suffering financially, then start thinking about how to handle it if it lasts longer or gets worse.

**You're not alone** An economic downturn, slowdown, and recession effect many people! So take some comfort in knowing you are, by far, not alone. The reason I mention this is to help ease your level of stress. If you're suffering financially, others are too! But to survive, you cannot brood over it and let it take over your life. Why not? Because that will make you even more depressed and does more harm than good. So just look at it from the perspective that others are in the same position and life goes on. The economy goes through ups and down, so we all in our lifetimes go through this.

**Know your income and expenses** There are many of us who know how much we're bring home in pay and other sources of income. But lots don't realize how much they're spending on things. Yes, we know the major expenses like: rent or mortgage payments, utilities, and car and student loans. But the little ones can really eat up your savings and take-home pay! So step 1, make an accurate list of what you take in (income) and exactly what you spend it on(expenses). And track all your expenses, not just the biggies. This means including things like: coffee, pasteries, partying, movies and rentals, gas, etc. As I said before, these are the ones that really add-up and eat into your savings. Most people are shocked at how much they're really spending when they see this list.

**Debt is the enemy** Debt is money that you owe, meaning bills. Now there "good bills" and "bad ones." The good ones are those that are necessities, like rent and utilities. In order to live, you have no choice but to spend money on these. But where we get ourselves into trouble is with the bad ones. These are the luxuries and frills. That 50 inch plasma TV, when a 36 inch flat or round screen (regular television) will do. Or a $2000 computer when a $400 one will suffice. And credit card debt is the true evil that gets most of us into major league trouble! We tend to look at is as "free money." In other words, it's not our money, it's the credit card's! So we'll very easily overspend and live way beyond our means. So control your credit card debt to the hilt. If the credit card company wants to raise your limit, don't go out and spend it. Just because you have a $5000 limit doesn't mean you have to spend it. Only use it when absolutely necessary!

**Debit cards** As opposed to credit cards, debit cards work a bit differently. The major difference is that they aren't loans like credit cards! When you use a debit card, money it taken out directly from your bank account. So if you don't have it in your account, it's unavailable. This gives people a huge dose of reality and helps control spending. Why? Because you won't spend it if you don't have it. And you'll very easily see your balance dropping when you do use it. With credit cards, you don't have to worry about money being taken out of your bank account immediately. Nor do you have to pay the full amount when the bill comes. You can pay the minimum--a measely $10-20 for example. And that's how you get yourself into financial trouble. Because you look at it this way! And of course, credit card companies will raise your limit even if you have lousy credit and way overspend. Why? Because you'll pay the minimum and drag it out for 100 years of outrageous interest rates! So you're like gold to them. Don't fall for it and cater to them! And if you have a debit card with the Visa or Mastercard logo, then they work just like credit cards in the sense that stores can swipe them as they would a credit card. In addition, you can withdraw money from ATM machines without the cash advance fees associated with credit cards. And many banks don't charge ATM fees if you use your debit card at their branches. This helps save you even more money!

**Pay down debt** Let's say you have $10,000 in credit card debt and pay $35 a month towards it. If you increase your payment, even a little bit, you'll save lots of money in the end! And that's because the interest you're accruing is being reduced. You see, it's not the $10,000 that's the trouble. It the never-ending interest being added to it that really gets most people. And even with a low interest, you're still accruing it and paying on it every single time you send in a partial payment. So increasing your payment amounts by a little or a lot more will cut your interest and get you paid off much sooner! And this same principle applies to all forms of debt: car loans, student loans, personal loans, etc. With debit cards, you don't have to worry about this because no interest is accruing! When you use the card, the full amount is immediately deducted. So if you spend $100, then $100 is taken out.

**Eat in and cook at home** You'd be surprised at how much you can save by eating in! It's far less expensive to buy food at the store and cook it at home than to eat out. Now by buying food, I don't mean a meal and then reheating it home. I mean buying packaged goods that you'll cook. In other words, things like: soups, pasta, meat, fish, veggies, etc. And if you buy in bulk the things you really like, that will save you even more money. For example, at my local Safeway, I can get 4 packages of 6 pasta noodles for just $5. With each pasta noodle being a meal, 24 meals for 5 bucks! And even though hamburger meat might seem expensive, it's less costly than going to McDonalds, Burger King, or other restaurants (fast-food and non fast-food)! So you'll save a good deal of money by eating more at home. Now I'm not saying to eat in all the time, unless you want to. Just swapping 1 home-cooked meal for a non-home-cooked one will save you money. You can do the same with work. Instead of eating out every day, bring your food once in a while or each day.

**Reduce drinks** Instead of buying sodas or juices, try water. And like step 7, you can do this once in a while or each time. Either way, you'll save money by drinking water instead of having to spend for soda or juice. As an alternative, use tea or coffee instead if you want more flavor. With coffee, you get lots of drinks out of one container. And with tea, you can get more than one cup of tea out of a teabag. Some have gotten 4 or more cups of tea from a single bag! Another thing you can do is reduce the size of your drink. If you normally drink a large, try a small. This is especially helpful for those of you who like Starbucks and other cofeehouses where drinks are expensive. You can even reduce the number of shots of coffee or expresso they put in. Instead of getting 2 or 3 shots, ask for 1. One more alternative is to swap a less expensive drink for a more expensive one. So instead of buying a triple grande mocha, get a latte which may be cheaper. Or pass on a syrup flavoring that adds extra to your drink's cost. An example of this would be a rasberry mocha. Get a mocha without the rasberry to lower the cost. And one last alternative is to pass on buying a drink from time to time. In other words, if you're getting something every day, don't do it one day. In other words, there are many ways to cut down the amount you spend on drinks. And every little bit you save helps you ride out the economic hard times! Remember, it's the little bit you save here and there that really adds-up to lots!

Ayat Ayat Cinta

Assalamulaikum . Akhirnya saya berjaya menghabiskan novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta . Mungkin ramai yang berpendapat novel ini hanya berkisar pada cinta kepada wanita sahaja . Anda silap .. usah disamakan dengan novel terbitan alaf 21 atau Creative Production . Bersedia membuka hati anda untuk cinta yang lebih universal dan meluas . Cinta pada Ilahi , cinta pada teman , cinta pada orang yang bukan seagama kita dan cinta pada kekasih . 

Mungkin saya terlewat membaca novel ini . Setelah mendengar pujian menggunung terhadap novel ini oleh teman ( Amin  ) dan filemmya telah tayangkan di kaca tv sehingga menyebabkan seorang sahabat menangis ketika menontonnya ( identitinya dirahsiakan )  .  Ini mungkin karya agung masa kini yang perlu dibaca.

Watak utama dalam novel ini adalah Fahri , seorang yang warak , berbudi pekerti , bagi saya susah untuk dicari pada zaman ini dan Fahri memberi impak yang besar kepada saya. Kita akan terfikir apabila selesai membaca novel , adakah kita mampu jadi sebaik Fahri dan apa sumbangan yang telah kita lakukan untuk agama . Kagum dengan sifat dan usahanya menterjermah kitab-kitab dan belajar ilmu-ilmu agama. Bagaimana Fahri berdepan dengan Aisha , Maria , Nurul dan Nourul . Saya paling minat bab dimana Aisha dan Fahri bertemu buat pertama kalinya di dalam metro dan tatkala itu orang Mesir marah apabila Aisha menolong ahli dzimmi dan Fahri membantu Aisha menerangkan Hadith yang menyokong tindakan Aisha itu betul .

Akhir kata , ini adalah novel yang perlu dibaca untuk setiap golongan . Sebagai pengubat hati dan pembangun jiwa. Jangan lupa A. Samad Said memberikan ulasan yang hebat untuk novel ini . Kepada Habiburrahman El Shirazi , saya kagum kepada awak . 

p/s : Soriler terpaksa menulis entry dlm bahasa yang skema . Sememangnya aku terpengaruh dengan gaya penulisan novel ini .. haha .. kalau terasa nak baca preview dier , boleh check kat website ni . Ada user upload novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta tapi dalam versi Indonesia ..

Find MP3's with Google

Hi all , taken this article from from internet . it's really help me to download mp3 :)

Section 1 - Directories
These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you
should try these strings first.

String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]

Example Strings :
- intitle:index. of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
- "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php

- "last modified" + "shn" + "dylan"
- "last modified" + inurl:shn + "bob dylan"
- "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy"

Suggestions :
- Try (intitle:index. of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it is usually the most effective.

Another Little Trick:
- If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e.

- intitle:index. of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
- intitle:index. of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005

Motivasi Kerja

"Ada orang datang ke pejabat dengan perasaan penuh gembira & ceria, ada datang dengan perasaan 'biasa' dan ada datang dengan perasaan serba tak kena..Ingat lah, sesiapa yang datang hanya dengan perasaan 'biasa' saja, hasilnya adalah 'biasa' saja, sesiapa yang datang dengan ceria, hasilnya akan jadi lebih daripada biasa ataupun luar biasa. Bekerja lah dengan ceria agar menghasilkan produktiviti yang luar biasa yang akan menggembirakan orang di sekeliling kita. Semoga hasil itu akan mendapat keberkatan insyallah... " -- Datuk Dr. Fadilah Kamsah

Jadi renungi lah :-

1. Ada antara kita datang ke pejabat hanya memenuhi tanggung jawab 'DATANG BEKERJA' tapi hampeh, hasilnya macam kita 'TAK DATANG' kerja.

2. Ada kala kita rasa kita BUSY giler, rupanya kita hanya 'KELAM KABUT'.

3. Adakala kita rasa kita PERIHATIN', tapi rupanya kita BUSY BODY.

4. Adakala kita rasa kita OPENMINDED and OUTSPOKEN tapi rupanya kita KURANG PENG'AJAR'AN.

5. Adakala kita rasa kita berpemikiran KRITIS rupanya kita hanya lebih kepada KRITIK yang mencipta KRISIS.

6. Adakala kita rasa kita ingin menjadi LEBIH MESRA tapi rupanya kita di lihat lebih MENGADA

7. Adakala kita suka bertanya 'KENAPA DIA NI MCM TAKDE KEJE', adalah lebih baik kita tanya 'APA LAGI KEJE YANG AKU BOLEH BUAT'

Pejam mata dan renung lah diri, kalau kita perlu melakukan ANJAKAN PARADIGMA, maka lakukanlah segera, tapi manusia tetap manusia, sukar untuk berubah kerana kita selalu beranggapan kita lebih baik, adakah dengan merasakan itu kita sememangnya terbaik? Maka untuk itu, mari kita mula senyum, ceria, mesra sesama kita dan tingkat kerjasama dalam kerja, tak rugi kita semai rasa 'kekeluargaan' dalam tugasan, kalau kita kurang kerja, cari la kerja membantu teman-teman yang lain.Tak dapat gaji lebih pun tak apa sebab pahala dapat, kita draw kat akhirat nanti, tapi kalau kita asyik dengki mendengki, nasib la sebab dah ditentukan jalan yang sukar itu yang kita pilih...Renungi lah, berapa orang kawan kita dan berapa orang lawan kita, nescaya itu la kayu pengukur diri yang sebaiknya... 

  

Membawa bapaku ke IJN

Selasa lepas , aku temankan bapak aku pegi jumpa doktor kat IJN . Bapak aku punya jantung ada masalah so kena masukkan camera nak check part mana yang sumbat or bocor . Alhamdullilah tak teruk sangat . Cuma kena masuk hospital balik 16hb ni . Nurse cakap " Pakcik , sila bawak baju untuk stay dalam hospital . Penginapan 3 hari 2 malam . Jangan bawak apa2 barang . Pisau potong buah pon tak perlu " . Cara dier cakap pasal berapa lama bapa aku perlu stay kat hospital macamler offer pergi trip huhu .  

Time aku bawak bapak aku pegi hospital , aku terjumpa Tan Sri Bakri Omar . Aku pon mula tak kenal dia . Mula2 datang Tan Sri ni siap pakai sport shoes , track bottom and shirt . Gaya macam baru balik jogging . Aku tengok gaya dier macam nak mencari kaunter bahagian appointment .

Aku dah ler tak kenal Tan Sri ni saper . So aku just cakap " Pak cik , kaunter temujanji kat situ " . Bila aku tengah tunggu giliran utk ECG test , kakak aku datang kat aku . 

Kakak : Ko kenal ke sapa tuh.  ? . 

Aku : Yang maner satu ? Pak cik baju merah ? 

Kakak : Aah . Pak cik pulak . Akak rasa die bekas Ketua Polis Negara ler . Kita tunggu name dier kena panggil nanti aah .. 

Aku .: oo ye ker .. nasa ingat dier pak cik yang sesat jalan jer .. haha .. pak cik tu nak carik kaunter nak letak kad dier . Nasa tunjuk je ler 

Kakak aku ni kerja dengan kerajaan . So aku rasa nama semua menteri dan pegawai tinggi kerajaan dia hafal huhu . Tiba2 nurse kat kaunter tu panggil nama Tan Sri Bakri Omar dan bila dia ke depan dah menolak VIP treament yang dier tak kisah menunggu . Aku kagum yang dier sanggup menerima layanan seperti orang biasa dan malu yang aku ni memang lemah pengetahuan am . Kena studi balik Sejarah Malaysia ni ..  

 

Tired

I'm really exhausted today caused i need to cover level 1 and 2 job . Usually i just working on small issue and focus on transition with BT . But today , it's bring back to when i first came to HP . Checking on alert ( buhsan ) , follow up with ISP ( lg ler buhsan ) , updating report and working alone ( paling buhsan.. today no breakfast and lunch for me =( )  . But end of the day ,  it's really worth it caused it's bring more motivation to me . Nowadays , i'm really bored with my job . Maybe i need new challenge or new work environment . Suddenly I realize that i need to focus on add more skills and obtain a professional certificate. When i came to an interview , I got a less respect when i told them that  i dont have any proffesional certificate .  During an interview , we need to show what we can do , the best skill we had  , the greatest knowledge , dazzle the interviewer and make them really impress . I think without knowledge , you're nothing and no value for their company .. .  so never stop learning guys .. 

Btw , congratz to my teammate :) . Finally he get the job . After he's turn down the offer from security company( ni bukan bermaksud dia dapat keje security guard yer )  then one more company offered him what his really want . More to network environment . Job description is good and salary is better than ***rio offer . So i think the mission to buy his first car will be succeed . Good luck bro .. hopefully you'll enjoy ur new job and no more "welcome to oct comms " an tickets :) .
