Yes, I’m reporting LIVE from WOODLANDS CIVIC CENTER in Singapore where I am doing some paperwork to settle with both Uncle Lee and Pak Lah…and also…doing my shopping.

Car shopping that is…meaning I am shopping about for a Off Peak Car from Singapore to use in Malaysia… being the fact that it’s a bother using the current car I am utilising..not to mention the high milage which abused the old faithful.

And yes…it’s true.. I RODE MY NAZA BIKE ALL WAY DOWN! I got the wrong quote of RM190++ for the bike transport etc, which I should have done so..but me being me….

Yeah..my butt and back aches… because of the 1000KM ride down..and that I found out that my ACVT (asynch Continuous Velocity Traction) Transmission overheated on the final leg, and this morning I found that I almost ran out of ENGINE OIL on my bike, being FULLY SERVICED before the trip!!! Poor Tun Tun….

Other than that..it’s a nice little reliable runner.

So, anyone needs to meet me etc, please send me a note via the comment etc, as I will be here for a few more days before I chao!

Take care!

I received a note from PayPal Security Dept in Singapore pertaining MALAYSIAN and Other Users abusing the VIRTUAL MONEY INTERNATIONAL Cards by circumventing the requirement of identification. This includes cards issued by Brand Names like VMI and ACCENT / ACCEND (the likes) which are based and tagged to accounts in the United States.

PAYPAL States that Virtual Money Debit cards are no longer accepted to be used to FUND and ACTIVATE WITHDRAWAL PROCESS. In other words, your SOUTHWEST BANK or TOMATO BANK *(ACCEND Visa) can no LONGER BE USED to withdraw funds to.

So, scrap that Maestro Debit cards, and go for the full account. As of yesterday, PAYPAL still accepts FULL BROKERAGE ACCOUNT by E*Trade as you can ACH DEBIT the funds from that account aka E-Check Option. However, E*Trade has stopped accepting applications from MALAYSIA and divert these accounts to a HONG KONG BASED ACCOUNT instead, not a US-DOLLAR, US ACH Based.

Current Account Holders who passed the Verification Process Step 4 are exempted. Company Accounts too are exempted.

So, it’s tuff times to you guys.

As per the Directives by HMCE, I cannot accept funds without any proof of identification and original proof of funds origins for people based in the Far East. Sorry Folks! The law is getting tougher now.

I’ll update you guys soon.
