Observations-观察
Malaysia funds only focus on shares while Singapore funds, has 4 out of 6, focusing on shares. The balance 2 uses derivatives. This seems interesting because they participate directly in the assets' price.Dana-dana di Malaysia hanya fokus di dalam saham manakala 4 drpd 6 dana Singapore fokus dalam saham. 2 yang terlebih itu menggunakan strategy derivative. Ini nampak special kerana ia menyertai harga aset secara langsung.马来西亚国内的基金都只投资在股票而新加坡的基金有4只是如此,剩余的2只采用衍生产品。看起来挺有趣的,因为是直接参与该商品的市场价。
All funds are having negative performance. Price now should be lower than launching price. Investors who starts now has lower cost because of low price, maybe the risk to fall is limited?Semua dana mempunyai keputusan negatif. Harga sekarang sepatutny lebih rendah daripada harga asal. Kos pelabur yang labur sekarang lebih rendah, rasanya risiko untuk jatuh lagi terhad?全部的基金都是负回酬。现在的价钱应该低过发售价。现在开始投资的投资者会有更低的成本价,是否再下跌的空间已经有限了呢?

086 In applying Grant of Probate, choose a experienced lawyer

In applying Grant of Probate, choose a experienced lawyerSemasa permohonan Grant of Probate, pilihlah peguam yang berpengalaman在申请遗产分配时,请选择有经验的律师
I have a client who passed away recently. He has made a Will. His spouse is arranging with a lawyer firm to apply for Grant of Probate.Kebelakangan ini,seorang pelanggan saya meninggal dunia. Dia telah menulis wasiatnya. Isterinya sedang menguruskan Grant of Probate dengan peguam.最近我有位顾客过世。他已经缮写了遗嘱。遗孀正与律师申请遗产分配书。
Since the client has some investment with me, the lawyer sent a letter to request for the latest statement. I duly passed the letter to the investment company for their processing.Pelanggan berkenaan mempunyai pelaburan dengan syarikat saya, maka peguam beri surat untuk memohon statement pelaburan yang terbaru. Saya berilah surat itu kepada syarikat.该顾客有些投资在我的手上,所以律师出信要求最新的投资结存单。那我只好拿去投资公司让他们处理。
When I passed the letter to relevant staff, she finds it odd with the letter for the following reasons:-
  1. Deceased name without NRIC#.
  2. Signature without name and designation
Apabila saya beri surat itu kepada staf berkenaan, staf rasa aneh dengan surat itu:-
  1. Nama si mati tanpa K/P
  2. Tandtangan tanpa nama dan pangkat
可是当我把信交给相关职员的时候,她觉得信的格式有点怪。
  1. 信中只有死者的名字却没有身份证号码
  2. 有签名但没有署名和职位
Anyhow, the staff was kind enough to forward the letter to HQ but she indeed highlighted HQ may requested for further evidence.Staf itu masih sudi menghantar surat itu ke HQ untuk pemprosesan tapi dia rasa HQ akan minta info yang lain.职员愿意尝试把信寄到总公司但她认为总部会要求其他的证据。
True indeed, HQ requested for more information:-
  1. Certified copy of Death Certificate
  2. Certified copy of MyKad of deceased's spouse
  3. Certified true copy of document to proof the relationship between deceased and spouse
  4. Letter from deceased spouse authorizing the lawyer to act on behalf
Betul jugak, HQ perlukan:-
  1. Sijil mati yang disahbenarkan
  2. MyKad pasangan si mati yang disahbenarkan
  3. dokumen yang boleh membuktikan pertalian antara si mati dan pasangan, yang disahbenarkan
  4. Surat beri kuasa peguam berurusan
果不其然,总部要求以下资料:
  1. 死者证书副本
  2. 遗孀的身份证副本 
  3. 能证明死者与遗孀的关系的文件
  4. 遗孀授权律师处理的信件
The request seems fair to me because the investment company needs to protect client's assets from unauthorized transaction. So, investment company must established the request to be a genuine case.Permintaantersebut nampaknya munasabah untuk saya. Syarikat mesti menjaga aset pelanggan daripada segala transaksi tidak sah. Jadi, syarikat mesti pastikan permintaan adalah kisah benar.这些要求看起来蛮合理的因为公司必须保护客户的财产。公司必须确保该要求是真实状况。
Of course, the deceased spouse was unhappy in the beginning because it seems like the whole thing is being drag. She hopes to settle everything fast.Pasangansi mati mestilah rasa tidak sedap kerana rasa syarikat cuma melambatkan proses. Dia ingin selesaikan semua cepat.对于遗孀来说,当让就会有点不高兴因为公司似乎在拖延整个程序。她想尽快解决整件事。
Therefore, I think it is wise and important to choose a  wise lawyer when come to this thing. Maybe the lawyer should be very well versed with probate issues to shorten the process.Maka, saya rasa adalah lebih bijak untuk memilih peguam yang berpengalaman dalam urusan sebegini. Peguam itu mestilah fasih dengan segala proses probate.因此,我觉得在处理这类事情时还是要选择一个有经验的律师为好。律师应该要对程序非常熟悉也好缩短整个程序。
This is for the good of their client and also the parties they dealt with. Because we don't want to create a scenario where both sides blame the other. Most importantly, let the deceased family get the assets distributed fast.Ini adalah untuk kebaikan masing-masing. Sebab kita tak naklah suatu pihak menudah pihak yang lain. Yang paling penting sekali, biarlah keluarga si mati dapat aset itu secepat mungkin.这对双方都好。毕竟我们不想一方指责另一方。更重要的是让家属早点领到财产。

085 PRS Youth Incentive - kickstart your retirement fund

Once in a while a parent may give their child some money. I believe many parents will tell their child to save the money. OK, I know the first impression will be bank's savings account or fixed deposit. How about doing it differently this time. Kadangkala ibubapa akan memberi sikit duit untuk anak mereka. Biasanya, ibubapa akan pesan anak-anak mereka untuk simpan duit itu. Biasanya kita akan fikir nak simpan dalam buku bank ataupun simpanan tetap. Apakah kita ubah sikit kali ini. 身为父母的有时会给孩子一些钱。我相信很多父母都会告诉孩子们要把钱存起来吧。存在哪里呢?第一印象绝对离不开银行存款或定期存款。这一次何不改变改变呢?
PRS Youth Incentive Insentif golongan muda Skim Persaraan Swasta 私人退休基金青年奖励金计划
Launched by Government in 2014, PRS Youth Incentive aims to encourage youths in the age band of 20 ~ 30 to start savings for their retirement. As an encouragement, Government will contribute RM500 to whoever contribute RM1000 into PRS within the same calender year. The only condition is the money is withdrawable at retirement age (currently 55). Insentif golongan muda Skim Persaraan Swasta adalah usaha kerajaan menggalakkan golongan muda untuk mula menyimpan duit untuk persaraan mereka. Dalam skim ini, kerajaan akan memberi RM500 kepada sesiapa yang mencarum RM1000 ke skim ini dalam satu tahun yang sama. 私人退休基金青年奖励金计划是政府在2014年推出的措施以鼓励年龄介于20至30的年轻人开始为退休储蓄。在这个奖励金下,凡是为自己存入马币一千元的青年人将获得政府额外的马币五百元。唯一的条件是这些钱只能在退休年龄(现为55岁)才能提出。
The first part sounds interesting to many but when comes to the second part, excitement starts to dissipate. Oh, come on, why do we need to wait till retirement? Secara umumnya, ramai rasa OK apabila dengar ayat depan tetapi apabila sebut ayat kemudiannya, mereka mula rasa boring. Kenapa mesti tunggu hingga pencen? 一般人听到前半段会觉得这个计划挺不错的,可是一听完后半段就有点儿兴致缺缺了。为什么要等到退休年龄啊?
Well, didn't we say it is retirement scheme? Moreover, this is not a scheme whereby government gives money directly to youth for them to spend. This scheme is to cultivate habit to save. Our balance in savings account fluctuates up and down exactly because it is too convenient to withdraw the money. Amount in EPF, on the other hand, keep on increasing exactly because we can only withdraw it after retirement. Kan kita dah kata ini skim persaraan. Ini bukan skim kerajaan memberi wang untuk golongan muda belanja duit berkenaan. Malah ia.adalah langkah memupuk tabiat menyimpan. Kita harus mengakui bahawa amaun wang dalam bank turun naik tidak menentu arah kerana terlalu mudah untuk mengeluarkan duit. Amaun dalam KWSP pula sentiasa naik kerana kita hanya boleh keluarkannya selepas bersara. 都说了嘛,这是退休基金啊!而且这个计划并不是政府直接派钱给年轻人花费,乃是鼓励储蓄的。而且老实说很多人的银行存款数额总是上上下下的,就因为太容易提款了。公积金里的数目就不断增加就因为退休后才能提款。
So when it comes to sure way of saving money, perhaps a method that carries some terms and conditions is more effective. Jadi mungkin cara yang paling berkesan untuk menyimpan duit adalah cara yang mempunyai terma tertentu. 所以若论到要能存钱的方法,或许有限制条款的工具较为有效呢。
We should not think ofspending the money now. We should think for our or our children's future. We may think what can we do with RM1500. Let's calculate the amount after compounding return. Kitatidak bolehlah fikir hendak habiskan duit itu. Haruslah kita fikir untuk kita atau anak kita. Mungkin kita akan terfikir apa yang kita boleh buat dengan RM1500. Marilah kita kira amaun selepas melabur. 我们不能只看到眼前想花费那笔钱。也得为将来想想、为孩子们想想。或许我们会说一千五百做得了什么?让我们计算复利后的数目吧。

RM1,500 10% 25 55 30 RM26,174
RM1,500 10% 30 55 20 RM16,252
When we think back many people only has hundreds over thousand in EPF after slogging for the whole life. If we save RM1000 for our child so that he has RM40K when he retires, don't you think it's worthwhile? Ramai hanya mempunyai KWSP sebanyak ratus lebih ribu selepas bekerja untuk seumur hidup. Jadi bukankah berbaloi kalau kita simpan RM1000 supaya ,ereka mempunyai RM40k semasa mereka bersara? 回想许多人辛苦了一生,公积金里的钱也不过十几万。如果现在就为廿岁的孩子存马币一千,让他退休时有马币四万块,何乐而不为呢?是吗?
