Step-by-step Guide to Settle your Traffic Summons easily via Maybank ATM !!!

In conjunction with the 100-Day Aspirasi Keluarage Malaysia programme which was being launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), police will be offering an 80% discount for traffic summons from Dec 9 till Dec 12, Dec 15, Dec 31


All payments can be made at the PDRM counter in KLCC, traffic summons payment counters of district police headquarters and contingent police headquarters, as well as the MyBayar portal and app throughout the period.

However, since day one:
  • PDRM counters are fully crowded
  • MyBayar portal is down
  • MyBayar app is down
(That's why the police keep on extending the deadline to cater for the overwhelming response from traffic offenders)

Other than the above methods, you can actually settle your traffic summons easily via Maybank ATM and Pos Office nationwide. Good wor. How is it?

Top Glove's 1QFY22 Profit Slumps 92% yoy!!! What's the Outlook?

Top Glove today announced its financial results for the First Quarter ended 30 November 2021 (1QFY2022), navigating a challenging landscape to commence its new financial year 2022 with positive expectations.



Sales Volume (Quantity Sold) was flattish as it transitions closer to pre COVID levels, compared with the previous financial quarter. The Group’s net cash position as at 30 November 2021 stood at RM1.06 billion.


The softer performance was mainly attributed to:
  1. Normalizing average selling prices (ASPs) and glove demand following mass vaccine rollout on a global scale,
  2. Customers remained cautious on replenishing orders,
  3. Raw material costs reduced at a much slower pace in comparison to glove ASPs
Wow. Looks so bleak ah.
Can give us some positive insights?

Bursa Malaysia commences LEGAL ACTION against Serba Dinamik (23 November 2021)

Bursa Securities had today filed an Originating Summons in the High Court at Kuala Lumpur against Serba Dinamik under Sections 360(1)(c)(i) and/or (ii) (J) and/or (K) and/or (M), 360(1)(4) and 360(13)(b) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 to order Serba Dinamik to make an immediate public announcement of the Factual Findings Update on the Special Independent Review as at 30 September 2021.


The court application arises from Serba Dinamik’s failure to comply with Bursa Securities’ directive dated 22 October 2021. Bursa Securities’ directive was issued requiring Serba Dinamik to disclose the material findings of the Factual Findings Update as at 30 September 2021, made by Ernst & Young Consulting, who was appointed by Serba Dinamik to carry out an independent review to assess the veracity and accuracy of the matters highlighted by Serba Dinamik’s then statutory auditor, KPMG.

Bursa Malaysia's responds to Serba Dinamik legal action (8 November 2021)

Established in 1993, Serba Dinamik, through its subsidiaries, is an international energy services group providing integrated engineering solutions to the Oil & Gas, petrochemical, power generation industries, water & wastewater and utilities.


The company was once the darling of research houses until the
audit saga which was started in mid-May 2021. Subsequently, Serba Dinamik decided to take legal action against KPMG, alleging that the external auditor had been negligent and breached its contractual and statutory duties to the company.

And, now, Serba Dinamik is taking legal action against Bursa Malaysia to challenge the stock exchange's directives concerning the requirement to conduct a special independent review and to disclose the findings of the review, arguing that the stock exchange is acting “in excess of power”.

Hartalega's Latest Result and What's Next? (November 2021)

In an exchange filing today, Hartalega Holdings Bhd's net profit surged 67.7% to RM914.01 million in Q2 FY2022 from a year ago.


More details below:

Q2 FY2022 vs Q2 FY2021 (Year-on-year comparison)

For the current quarter ended 30 September 2021 (Q2FY22), the Group achieved higher sales revenue of RM 2.01 billion, an increase of RM 665.3 million or 49.4% from the corresponding quarter in the preceding year (Q2FY21). The higher sales revenue was mainly due to the increase in average selling price (ASP).

Profit before tax has increased by RM 504.4 million or 73.9% to RM 1.18 billion, as compared to RM 683.0 million in Q2FY21. The increase in profit before tax was mainly due to the higher sales revenue which was partially offset by the higher raw material cost.

AirAsia X slips into PN17 status. And, who are also inside the list currently?

After avoiding it for more than one year due to the relief measures provided by Bursa Securities on listed issuers that have triggered the criteria for the classification which was ended on June 30, 2021, AirAsia X (AAX) was classified as a PN17 company now.



















The PN17 status was being triggered as AAX’s external auditors, Messrs Ernst & Young PLT, have expressed a disclaimer of opinion in the Company’s audited financial statements for the 18-month financial period ended 30 June 2021 announced on 29 October 2021.

In a statement issued by Bursa Securities today, the exchange would like to emphasize that it will continue to monitor the progress of AAX in respect of its compliance with the Main Market Listing Requirements.

Getting the Cash, Without a Bank

At different stages of life, we need money for different reasons. Sometimes, the things we want to do involves a huge sum of money. It can be to start a business, to expand a business, to make an investment, to buy a property, and others.

Unless you are independently wealthy enough to fund and support the things you want to accomplish in life, at some point in your life, you may need to seek for financial aid.









Creativity, resourcefulness, and networking will play a pivotal role in determining the success of your financial assistance. Without thinking of different solutions, people will just usually turn to the nearest banks for financial assistance. Actually, there are a whole lot of financial solutions out there.  

When people seek for financial aid from banks, they often faced similar problems. Imagine this, you are in need of emergency funds, but yet your loan applications are persistently rejected by the banks. Or the banks are asking you a ton of questions that are only wasting your time and not approving your loan. It can be frustrating, isn’t it?

Banks are banks, they are just made from brick and mortar. They do not feel you or understand you. They only know how to follow a fixed procedure that has never changed since probably the last decade.

Creative finance methods that you should consider

The new URUS Programme for B50. And, how to define B50 category?

As reported on TheEdge early this month, banks have come up with a counter-proposal to the government's interest waiver plan, and some banking sources say it has been submitted to the authorities.

On Sept 14, Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz announced that the ministry had instructed banks to immediately work on the exemption from interest payments for bank loan moratorium recipients under the B50 category — indicating Malaysians in the bottom 50% income bracket group — for the October to December period of 2021.


Today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced that the  Financial Management and Resilience Programme (URUS) for borrowers in the B50 income group will be set up by the banking sector soon.

Yeah! we finally can have a glimpse of it. However, what is the programme actually? And, of course, the most popular question being asked by all of you is: "Am I fall under the B50 category?"

Malaysia already has THREE Unicorns and they are... (as of October 2021)

2021 Covid-19 Hospitalisation Insurance Coverage (Update)

As Covid-19 cases keep on increasing in Malaysia, there is mounting pressure on insurance companies to play their role by covering the cost of treatment, especially to their policyholders, on top of doing their part on corporate social responsibility.


Although a majority of our policy contracts stated clearly that there is an "exclusion clause on communicable diseases requiring quarantine by law", some insurance companies are kind enough to support the financial well-being of the affected family during this difficult pandemic period by covering the cost of Covid-19 treatment on a goodwill basis.

For your convenience, we have listed the latest info from selected insurance companies in Malaysia and a summary table below.

What is Securities Borrowing & Lending (SBL)?

Recently, news reporting that EPF is lending out its Kossan shares for a fee to investors who intend to short the stock. How do we know whether a stock is being lent out? How do we know a stock is under SBL?


In the blog post, let's explore together... Jom...

What is SBL?

Securities Borrowing and Lending (SBL) is a facility offered by Bursa Malaysia to enable the borrowing and lending of securities. The two models of SBL currently offered are Central Lending Agency and Negotiated Transaction.

This is an enhanced lending model that offers temporary loans of securities between the lender and borrower, which expects the price of a stock to fall to hold a short position for a longer duration, while the lender who loans the stock receives a lending fee from the borrower. It's a kinda win-win here for both parties to achieve their respective objectives.

How does SBL work?

This guy turned his obstacles into a social learning platform for all Malaysians ~ Fin2u Academy

Are you learning now? Who do you learn from? Where does learning take place? Basically, learning is a life-long process that takes place from the first day we were born into this world. We keep on learning to adapt to different life stages. The current fast-changing job market requires different skills, thus, the demand of re-skill/up-skill to stay relevant. The next question is: “Is there a marketplace for online learning?

Yes. There is. However, most of the platforms out there are either for their own use only, or from overseas. Of course, some people would go to free sites such as YouTube to learn as well.


Alex Yeoh, an engineer turned financial planner, has been giving financial talks in various universities and corporations for the past 8 years, and wanted to digitalise his contents 2 years ago. Embarking into this digital transformation journey is an uphill task for him because he doesn’t know about web building, web design, automation, payment gateway integration, membership system, video hosting, and digital marketing.

“It's difficult for me to find any localised online courses which can guide me through from A to Z and with the knowledge/skills which I can apply straight away here in Malaysia. Luckily, I found my co-founders who shared the same vision and they come with a skillset which complements each other,” said Alex Yeoh, the CEO of Fin2u Academy.
