Yup, if you are Tanjong PLC and Measat Global Berhad shareholder. You must be wondering why Tanjong and Measat are suspended (or maybe you have insider news already). Based on Bursa Malaysia, both of the companies have been suspended with effect from 9.00 a.m., Wednesday, 28 July 2010, pending an announcement…

It is good or bad? Let me know.

I want to get myself a Panasonic HDC-TM700K High Definition Camcorder. I can get it from B&H Photo Video Pro Audio which import from US. Or get it locally in Malaysia. The US version is 1920 x 1080p x 60fps while Malaysia version is 1920 x 1080p x 50fps. I prefer 60fps version. But Panasonic HDC-TM700K only provides US warranty and no international warranty like Canon. However, the US price is attractive at USD 863.80 (RM RM2779.28) including shipping fee which Malaysia is priced at RM3500. Around RM 700 different. And does it dutiable when imported back to Malaysia? I searched around Royal Malaysian Customs Department website and found these below…

Non-dutiable goods include:

• Fountain Pen.
• Cigarette Lighters (except of plastic).
• Printed books, newspapers, magazines and journals.
• Perfumes.
• Cosmetics (except face powder) and skin-care products like lipsticks, eye shadows, moisturizing cream, skin tonics.
• Manicure products like nail polisher and nail varnish.
• Carpets of jute.
• Portable radio equipped with recorder and sound reproducers (weighing not more than 10 kg., with handles / straps and AC/DC powered).
• Pocket watches, wrist watches and table / wall clocks.
• Photo cameras, camera flashbulbs, camera flashbulb equipments and film rolls.
• Cinematographic cameras, projectors, sound recorders and sound reproducers, for films of less than 16 mm width including cameras for double 8 mm film.
• Video cameras / television cameras
• Pocket calculators.
• Shillings / Gold bar.
• Computer.
• Fishing equipments (e.g. Fishing rods, Fish hooks etc.)
• Golf clubs (complete).
• Racquets (Tennis, Badminton and the like)
• All sorts of balls except golf balls.
• All musical instruments (excluding upright piano)
• Leather shoes
• Leather bags including wallets and leather hand bags
• Video tapes (empty or recorded)

Yeah… Video camera is one of the non-dutiable goods. Now back to the question ~ should I get US version without international warranty?

I receive lot of spam comments lately. They managed to slip through Akismet spam filtering. Something likes “I would prefer Infolinks over Kontera because they pay much better.” Hmm… Did Infolinks have something to do with it?

Spam comments

Got these 2 comments on different blogs. Both coming from the same IP but with different name and email address. Look like spam comments to me. So I spammed them.

How to block WordPress spam comments? Do install Akismet plugin on your blog. It will help filter a lot of spam comments. One or two spam comments might slip through from time to time. But Akismet plugin does block most of them. You can help Akismet too by identify spam comments by spam it.
