Burma or Myanmar

Today, I will blog about Burma or Myanmar.As all of you know,Burma is under the control of a military govt where the general and his fellow army officers who run the country have only FORM 5 level of education.

I wanted to write this article a long time ago but the inspiration to write on this came when Hongkong actress Michelle Yeoh was BAR from entering Myanmar.The burmese govt bar her because the govt was suspicious that Michelle is giving Money to Aung San Su Chi in order for Su Chi to fund her political activities.

As far as I am concern,the people of Burma are all coward as they do not have the guts to form an army to overthrow the govt.All the burmese have done is to leave Burma and go to Malaysia to work illegally.

The burmese people especially the young future generation is going to suffer for a long time because the present generation is not willing to sacrifice themselves for thr good of the future.

In order to overthrow the govt and secure a better future for the next generation,the present burmese must form an army and must be willing to sacrifice themselves as alot of people will die in a civil war to kick out the present oppressive regime.

Unfortunately,this is not happening as all the burmese are having a good life in Malaysia. In downtown Kuala Lumpur,the Burmese are no longer working for their boss in the Char Kway Teow,Wantan Mee or Laksa stalls but are instead the Boss of all this food stalls as they rent the stalls from the chinese owner.

Thus ,with such good life and having a business,this burmese will not go home to fight the militery govt and Myanmar will be continue to suffer as the military regime is going to rule for a long time.

Franchising

Today,I would like to talk about Franchise. Franchising is the Practice of using another person firm SUCCESSFUL business model.

Today in Malaysia,they is a lot of successful franchise business and to acquire the franchise from the original owner is not cheap.The franchise business is such that if the business is good ,the payback period for the capital investment could be in 6 months but if the business is bad,the person who took the franchise could lose millions in a few months.

Example of franchise business together with the initial capital investment(ICI) and the monthly royalties which is a percentage of the gross revenue (GR) is as follows:-

Name--------Business-----------------ICI----------Royalties % of GR

1.Overtime----PUB------------------1,000,000------10%

2.Papa Rich---Cafe------------------1,000,000------8%

3.OldTown-----Cafe--------------------850,000------8%

4.Station ONE-Cafe--------------------550,000------6%

5.7 ELEVEN----Convenient Store---250,000------5%

6.Macdonalds--Fast Food-----------3,500,000-----RM 12,000 per month.

In addition,the Franchise owner will supply all the goods and services that are needed by the outlet as stated in the franchise agreement.The franchise owner will provide training to the outlet owner and staff before operation begins.

Recently,I attended the opening ceremony of the new Overtime pub at Tesco Scott Garden at Old Klang Road. Business was so good that the pub ran out of the Starker beer by 11pm and they have to request for the beer from Overtime in Puchong.In fact,the owner who is my friend told me to stop ordering beer in order to allow his other friends and associates who came late to order the beer.

It is estimated that if the business is good and consistent,this pub will BREAK EVEN WITHIN 6 months and after that it is home run all the way.

By the way,most of this franchise outlet is always located in the corner of any place as this business require a big and visible place.

No reason to increase RON 95 PRICE

As we all know ,the govt of Malaysia is BANKRUPT because of MASSIVE CORRUPTION by UMNO and BN.

Currently,we are in a situation where the govt have no more money to pay sudsidy in order keep the prices of petrol low. Come June 1st,after a 6 months rest,the govt will review the price of petrol RON 95 which is currently price at RM1.90 per liter. As such, the govt have been telling the RAKYAT to prepare for an increase in RON 95 price. Recently,the RAKYAT have to bear the price increase of essentials items like sugar and cooking oil.

The govt do not have a good reason to increase the price of RON 95 because of the following reasons :-

1) Malaysia (NOT PETRONAS) is a NET OIL EXPORTER with a DAILY SURPLUS OF 45000 BARREL PER DAY (BPD)

--------------------------2011

--------------------------BPD

Daily Production-----600,000

Daily Consumption---555,000

Daily Surplus-----------45,000

2) Our oil TAPIS is the best quality oil because it have very little sulphur content and it is the MOST EXPENSIVE OIL in the world. We sell our TAPIS to the world but we import Cheap oil from the ARAB world and thus Malaysia profit from this arrangement.

If the price of RON 95 is increase, it will cause an increase in the cost of living for the RAKYAT as transportation cost increase, the transporter will pass the price increase to the consumer to protect their profit margin.

As explained,the govt have NO REASON to increase RON 95 price but it will do so because the govt is BANKRUPT and cannot pay the subsidy to the oil companies like Shell and ESSO.Hence,the RAKYAT is the VICTIM of CORRUPTION by UMNO and BN.

Congratulation to Bank Negara Governor Zeti.

I was watching the news just now and I was very happy when the news reader over at Astro Awani said that Bank Negara Governor DR Zeti was nominated for the post of Chief Executive officer of the Internationa Monetary Fund (IMF).

The CEO position in the IMF is vacant following the resignation of Strauss Kahn who is being charged for sexual assault on a young maid of the SOFITEL Hotel in New York.

Dr Zeti have done a fantastic job in the running of our central bank BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA.As such she deserve to be nominated to the top position of the IMF.

I sincerely hope that if they is a contest for the top IMF post,I hope that Dr Zeti will win and become the 1st asian to helm the IMF.

Congratulations to Dr Zeti and it is the 1st time that the IMF id not control by the West.

SINGAPORE ELECTION

I am watching the Singapore election closely and I hope that the opposition in Singapore will win 15 seats through 3 GRC(group representative constituency) and 2 SMC (single member constituency).

I hope that Workers Party with Low Thia Kiang,Chen Shao Mao and Sylvia Lim will win the Aljuneid GRC and Chiam See Thong SPP (Singapore People Party) will win the Bishan-Tao Payoh GRC seats with Kenneth Jeyaretnam and his gang from the Reform Party to win the West Coast GRC.

As for the SMC,I hope that the opposition will retain the Hougang and Potong Pasir seat which was formerly held by Low and Chiam respectively.I hope that Chiam wife will win his seat of Potong Pasir.

To all the opposition parties in this Singapore election,GOOD LUCK AND SUCCESS.
