Must full time blogger pay income tax in Malaysia?

July 20, 2008 · Filed Under Life Log, Uncategorized · 2 Comments 

I’m not an accountant, neither am I familiar with the tax structure in Malaysia, the only thing that is troubling me when it comes to paying tax, should I or shouldn’t I pay tax? Clause 12 says money made outside Malaysia are tax exempted.

Tax Exemptions For Individuals
12. Income Remitted from Outside Malaysia
With effect from the year of assessment 2004, income derived from outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia by resident individual is exempted from tax. (Link)

I have conflicting answers from different accountants, and this is killing me. Do you pay tax from money made online?

How to piss me off with online video sharing websites

The idea of sharing an internet connection with strangers can be really annoying, not that I have a choice, but was forced to because the landlord says so, I do have the option of acquiring my own telephone line but it is going to cost me a bomb.

Long story short, the situation was made worst when I am forced to share the internet connection with 7 people in the house; the best part is the broadband connection quota for every month capped at 40GB. That is like 170MB for each person per day, which is hardly enough. The 40GB cap per month is the ceiling quota from the company.

Since the broadband internet connection is limited to 40GB per month, why can’t these users be more considerate? Is it a must to watch funny videos online, multimedia sites such as YouTube really annoys me, especially video streaming sites that uses torrent technology.

I found a few ways to block Azureus, but could not find a solution towards the much more popular p2p video streaming software known as ppstream.com, its a Chinese video streaming website that utilize p2p technology and it is really killing the bandwidth. As much as I would like to scream ‘Go back to China’, but that is somewhat rude. (No racism here, I’m Chinese but not from China)

Buying a new VPN modem is out of the question, it is just way too expensive and why should I be the one paying for the hardware? P2P technology, it is a love hate relationship. God help me.

Willie Wagtail Wordpress Theme

Wordpress Template

Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am proud to present you (the readers) the all new GeckoandFly, re-branded with a brand spanking new layout that took me 4 sleepless nights. This theme is named after Willie Wagtail, an Australian passerine bird that caught my attention and not to mention the close encounter I had when the bird pecked me for being too close to its nest.

Their most notable feature (and what gives them their name) is their long black tail, which they fan out and “wag” from side to side when hunting. Even while perching they will flick their long tails from side to side, twisting about looking for prey. Isn’t that cute?

According to Wikipedia: “It is moderately territorial, particularly when nesting, and will readily chase off larger birds or other animals.”

Willie Wagtail is no bigger than the fist of a teenager, probably the size of a small boy’s fist, yet the most amazing thing I came across on my way to university is the sight of Willie Wagtail pecking a Raven ten times the size of its own size. Size doesn’t matter, does it?

Google PageRank Updating

May 2, 2008 · Filed Under Life Log · Comment 

According to problogger, Google is currently updating their Pagerank , I checked with a PR checker and it turned out to be true. There bound to be some victims during this transaction period and I hope that GeckoandFly.com is not one of them. If what the PR Checker prediction is true, this blog is officially PR6.

Geckoandfly is looking for co-blogger or contributors care to join?

Renovatio - It means rebirth in Latin, GeckoandFly is currency going through a period of change, a time of reinventing itself, a metamorphosis stage. Personally, I think the new layout speaks volume of GeckoandFly future - more audience, hopefully, unlikely but then again why not? Anyway, just like what I’ve promised, currently I am on the brink of launching 10 new Wordpress Themes, it may not be the best or the funkiest, at least it is a stepping stone.

Again, we have about 300,000 page view per month and I am anticipating a sudden surge of pageview when I launch the 10 new Wordpress Themes, Guess bloggers and Contributors needed, apply within!

Till then, good luck!

Major changes are on the way, a new beginning, a new owner. There would be less ads, a less clunky design and better articles in the near future.

I am not sure if this piece of story is true or a hoax, but it appears that these 2 people are destined to be together, a wonderful love story and a happy ending. Watch the video.

Someone please tell me this ain’t real.

Samsung’s identity crisis

August 8, 2007 · Filed Under Life Log · Comment 

Money CNN has this article on Samsung, it reads:

One day in the not-so-far-off past, Kun-Hee Lee, chairman of Samsung Electronics, sent each of his closest friends and key employees one of the company’s newest wireless phones as a New Year’s present.

It was a nice thought, but it backfired. The things just didn’t work properly, and polite complaints started pouring in. Mortified, Lee rushed to the company’s factory in the South Korean city of Gumi, where most of Samsung’s handsets are made.

He gathered the employees in the courtyard, made a giant heap of the factory’s entire inventory of wireless phones — more than $15 million worth — and ordered it smashed to pieces and set on fire.

How I wish companies in China would emulate Samsung and their smaller brother Acer at building reliable products rather than cheap knock-off.
