Here’s a very good exam­ple of how we can use the free 100 units of ASM for our future generation!

MANY have voiced out the dete­ri­o­rat­ing moral val­ues of Malaysians. I had first-hand expe­ri­ence of this, and that too at the hands of some­one attached to an edu­ca­tion institution.

A mother, her chil­dren and I were wait­ing behind the yel­low line for the aero train at KL Inter­na­tional Air­port when a man in a black T-shirt embroided with the name of a uni­ver­sity cut in front of us.

He had a group of for­eign female stu­dents with him whom he asked to cut in as well, totally dis­re­gard­ing those who were already stand­ing there.

When the mother com­mented that we were all queu­ing up, the man gave her a look and just said “diplo­mat”. He then con­tin­ued to ask the group to stand in front of us, forc­ing us to move back.

When the aero train arrived, one of stu­dents pushed me away to get into the train. I was shocked and obvi­ously very angry.

See­ing my expres­sion, the man asked very threat­en­ingly “What’s the prob­lem?” He then told some­one behind me that the stu­dents were diplo­mats who came to Malaysia to study.

Is this the kind of exam­ple one sets for stu­dents? I was not only very angry but totally embar­rassed by his behaviour.

It doesn’t mat­ter who these stu­dents were or where they came from, there were oth­ers who were already in line wait­ing and the least he could do was ask per­mis­sion to board first, which wasn’t nec­es­sary, as the trains appear every few minutes.

EMBARRASSED,

Kuala Lumpur.

I do not think the 1Malaysia preach by our PM being appre­ci­ated and fol­lowed by these stu­dents. My grand par­ents favorite quote “I should have CHOP you in pieces to feed the croc!” “Wasted rice!”

KUALA LUMPUR: Some 50,000 fresh under­grad­u­ates of local pub­lic insti­tu­tions of higher learn­ing will get 100 units of the newly launched Amanah Saham 1Malaysia.

Prime Min­is­ter Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the incen­tives at the launch of the new trust fund, which has a size of 10 bil­lion units, with each unit going at RM1.

Amanah Saham 1Malaysia is the biggest trust fund in the coun­try, and will go on sale from Aug 5.

“As a spe­cial con­sid­er­a­tion, the gov­ern­ment has agreed that every stu­dent that enrolled in pub­lic insti­tu­tions of higher learn­ing, who are in their first year this year, will receive 100 units of Amanah Saham 1Malaysia for free,” he said.

The stu­dents eli­gi­ble are those who had enrolled for their first degree recently in the mid-year intake.

“As they rep­re­sent the country’s future, we want to see the young gen­er­a­tion obtain edu­ca­tion, at least up to a degree, so that they become cit­i­zens who are vision­ar­ies and pro­gres­sive,” he said.

The free units for the stu­dents, total­ing RM5mil, were con­tributed by Per­modalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) and Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB) agents — Malayan Bank­ing Berhad, CIMB Bank Berhad, RHB Bank Berhad and Pos Malaysia Berhad.

To ensure that the units were fairly dis­trib­uted, Najib said that for the first 30 days of sale (Aug 5 to Sept 3), 50% of the units had been allo­cated to Bumipu­tras, 30% to the Chi­nese, 15% to the Indi­ans and 5% to other races.

In the 30-day period, the max­i­mum invest­ment for an investor below 55 is 50,000 units, while investors above 55 can pur­chase a max­i­mum of 100,000 units.

After the period, the cap on pur­chase on unsold units would be lifted, and the sale would be open to all Malaysians above 18, regard­less of race.

Najib said he was con­fi­dent the units would be sold out fast, cit­ing Amanah Saham Malaysia which sold out within 45 min­utes after its open­ing in 2006.

“With a fund size of 10 bil­lion, Amanah Saham 1Malaysia will be able to boost the equity mar­ket and act as a cat­a­lyst to the country’s econ­omy,” he said.

Investors can buy the units at ASNB offices and post offices from 8am to 5pm from Aug 5, and at May­bank, CIMB Bank and RHB Bank dur­ing the oper­at­ing hours of the banks.

The next time you meet a police offi­cer who ask for your dri­ving license just tell them “Diplo­mat” If you have to run the red light, just know that it’s “Diplo­mat” and very impor­tant of all if you feels like want to be RUDE AND BO KA SI, know that you hold a very impor­tant mis­sion “Diplomat”

Well Done, 1Malaysia!
