So today I found out I still have an outstanding of RM0.01 left for my car loan. The bank needs me to pay that 1 sen before I can proceed with cancelling bank's claim on the car. And I can't make online transfer of 1 sen because it is below the minimum transfer amount.

Recently I bumped into a Malaysian Indian aunty and uncle at a restaurant here in NZ. We spoke in English first, then slowly changed to Malay. As I was leaving, they said: "Bila hari2 kena cakap Bahasa Inggeris, jadi satu kelegaan, satu kepuasan dapat cakap Melayu dekat sini."

I felt the bank is really screwing me up, so I thought about screwing them back. I transferred RM1. Hahah! Now the bank can remove its claim on my car and owes me 99 cents instead. Good luck with processing that! I laughed inside. But...

We can argue until the cows come home about whether or not the program was a waste of taxpayers money, but many have pointed out that the bulk of the cost was funded by the Russian through an off-set agreement. On the scale of things, we paid peanuts to send a Malaysian to space.
