Milk Powder price increase

All items' price increase again in Malaysia after election. From flour to gas, from rice to milk powder. Rice's price increase very significantly in Malaysia. Few months ago, for 10kg rice, it is only about RM20.00 per pack, now it has already increased to RM33.00 per pack. Wow..what a significant increment.

Another thing is milk powder. I still remembered that during my confinement, a milk powder " Enfalac" was sold Rm56.90 per tin and contain 900ml. After my confinement ( about one month ago), it has already increased to RM 58.50 per tin and contain 900ml. Now this milk powder increased again to RM60.90 per tin and the contain is lesser 850ml.

This is the first time i found that milk powder price increased with reducing the "size". That is mean it has increased "double " in two different ways. I think the milk powder will be increase price again as some of the supermarket already sold with price RM62.00 per tin. Sigh ....

Microsoft team come to Penang

Recently we received a fax from Microsoft regarding spot check in corporation for the license of Microsoft office that installed in our computers. My manager was busying "audit" all the computers in office as if being caught by Microsoft, a computer will be fine RM10K.

One of my colleague went to a factory for machine supporting. When he came back to office, he told that that factory was having spot check by Microsoft just now. According to him, when Microsoft teams arrived Penang, they decided to spot check those corporation's name that begin with alphabet " Z" .

According to my colleague, there are about more than 20 laptops were taken back by Microsoft as they found that they are using refurbished Microsoft Office in the laptops.

It is better to use the registered Microsoft Office for Corporation, let said a computer were fine RM10K, 20 laptops will be fine RM200K, and it is definitely a quite big amount.
