Talbiyah (from 123muslim.com)

Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Or get the Young Turks series (all 4 books). Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me. I need RM360 to get The Star ePaper. Or go to Hajj, whichever you prefer.

  • I’m lining up jobs for next quarter, for IGL Services. Whisper to (better yet, carpe jugulum) your boss, and send work my way.
  • Nothing interesting in the papers this week

Support your local bookshop!  Bookalicious at The Summit Subang is a good choice. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and other ologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!

Food choice of the week? How if you visit Vietnam, how about visiting and updating GoHalalVietnam! for your food needs. For your other needs, talk to your local tour guide/ concierge / man on the street.

The newest book in the Dresden File series is out. Magic + pop culture + Star Wars references, beat that!

GST Likely For RON97

September 14, 2014

Dateline 2014-07-01, Malaysian Digest:

The government sent a clear signal over the weekend that subsidised fuel will remain in Malaysia for now.

This means RON95 petrol and diesel are unlikely to attract the 6% Goods and Service Tax (GST) from April 1 next year. But RON97 remains fair game.

Most telling is how Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad said subsidised fuel supply will be curtailed to address the problem of smuggling.

KPDNKK would decide the quota and approval of subsidised fuels for each petrol station, and not the oil and gas companies, from Aug 1.

September 13, 2014

Dateline 2014-06-30, Malaysia Chronicle:

CONTRARY to what detractors say, the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) in Johor is alive and kicking, and on track to become the “Rotterdam of the East”.

Rotterdam of the Netherlands is the world’s largest petroleum and gas hub, followed by Houston in the United States and Singapore.

Almost the size of Singapore, Pengerang, located at the most southeastern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, houses the sprawling 8,000ha PIPC, which is set to become the region’s oil and gas (O&G) hub and promises to provide some 70,000 jobs to locals.

Malaysian government moves to stop fuel subsidy abuse

September 11, 2014

Dateline 2014-06-30, China Post:

 The Malaysian government will set a fixed volume of diesel that gas stations can sell in a move to curb abuses of the country’s fuel subsidy scheme.

 Gas station operators would also need to submit monthly reports of their diesel and RON 95 gasoline sale to the Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry, said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad.

This was among a slew of measures being introduced nationwide starting Aug. 1 in a bid to prevent further abuses of the subsidy scheme.

Alias warned that erring traders would be permanently blacklisted.

Cap Petronas’;s dividends to Putrajaya, says Selangor rep

September 9, 2014

Dateline 2014-06-28, MSN (that’ a first):

Petronas’s dividends to Putrajaya should be capped to ensure the national oil and gas company would continue to grow in the long run, a Selangor lawmaker said today.

Damansara Utama assemblywoman Yeo Bee Yin said between 2008 and 2012, Petronas paid 55% to 68% of their profits to Putrajaya in the form of dividends.

“The average percentage of payouts of national oil companies around the world is only 38%.

“In order to ensure Petronas’s long-term growth, it is time to amend Section 4 of the Petroleum Development Act 1974 to cap Petronas’s dividends,” she said in a statement today.
