Liability for stolen credit card capped at RM200, court rules
By Edward Cheah

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 – The High Court ruled today that the maximum that can be charged to a credit cardholder who has lost his/her credit card is RM200.
Lawyer Datuk Vijaya Kumar told The Malaysian Insider that Diana Chee Vun Hsia discovered her credit cards missing a day after they were stolen. She then reported it to the issuing banks.
Citibank informed her that RM1,851 had been charged the day it was stolen and that, according to company policy, she was deemed liable for the full amount because she did not report the card stolen within one hour.

She took Citibank to court to challenge this policy late last year.

Today, the High Court found in her favour when it said that, according to Bank Negara guidelines, the maximum that can be charged to the cardholder by credit card companies after a card is stolen is RM200, regardless of any company policies regarding elapsed time or amount.

Justice Datuk Mohamed Apandi Ali said that the Bank Negara guidelines “have the force of law.” – Bernama

養不起的未來

日本的諷刺明星兼導演北原武不久前又獲得一個電影的國際獎。

幾年前他的母親去世,他回故鄉去奔喪,他一直不喜歡母親,因為她一直不斷向這一個兒子要錢,只要他一個月沒有寄錢回家,母親就打電話給他破口大罵,真是所謂的死要錢, 而且北原武越出名,她索取的錢越多。

回到家之後,他還是忍不住大哭一場,想到他一直在外,沒有好好供養媽媽,雖然是死要錢的媽媽,他還是覺得虧待母親。

等辦完喪事,北原武正要離開家的時候,他的大哥把一個小包袱給了他說:

這是媽媽叫我一定要交給你的。

北原武小心翼翼地打開小包袱看到一本存摺與一封信,存款是用他的名義開戶,存款金額高達數千萬日幣,信中母親寫道:

武兒,在這幾個兒女當中,我最擔憂的就是你,你從小就不喜歡唸書,又亂花錢,對朋友太慷慨,當你說要去東京打拼時,我就很擔心你會變成一個落魄的窮光蛋,因此我每月從不間斷地要你寄錢回家,一方面可以刺激你去賺更多的錢,另一方面也為了替你儲蓄;你給我的錢,我一毛都沒有花,你大哥一家把我養得好好的,你的錢就是你的錢,現在就拿去好好利用吧!


看完了信,北原武哭倒在地上,久久站不起來...

王永慶曾經說過一句話:你賺的一塊錢不是你的一塊錢,你存的一塊錢才是你的一塊錢。


現在的經濟景氣越來越差,全世界都進入了二低一高的時代:低成長、低利率、高通膨;不要小看你隨手花掉的小錢:一杯咖啡、一包香煙、一件衣服...,

省下它,就有可能改變你的一生,如果你身邊也有存不了錢的朋友,告訴他北原武的故事,你就有可能成為他這輩子的貴人!

養不起的未來 --不是收入太少,而是開銷太大!

locked your car doors when pumping petrol

Important - Happened in Penang

This is pretty scary, as is (its modus operandi is similar) with the case of Ms Canny Ong.

A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas. When she had filled her gas tank after paying at the pump and about to leave, the attendant inside came over the speaker.

He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay.

The lady was confused because the transaction was completed and approved.

She told him that and was getting ready to leave but the attendant once again urged her to come in to pay or else.....

She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat.

He told her to calm down and to listen carefully:

He told her that while she was pumping gas, he saw a guy had slipped into the back seat of her car and hid on the other side.

He had called the police.

She immediately became scared and looked out there in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out.

The story
The test for the new gang initiation thing which requires one to bring back a woman's body part.

One way they are doing this is crawling into girls/women's cars while the target is pumping gas or at the grocery store at night time. Then, they will cut off the victim's legs/ankles to disable them in order to kidnap them, and later kill and dismember them.

The other method is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women for the same purpose.


Reminder

Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike.

Ladies, be extra careful when going into your parked car at night.

Do not park at lonely or secluded places at any time of the day for the sake of free parking!

If at all possible, don't drive alone at night!

This is real! Kidnapping! Murder! Dismemberment! These are all happening here in Malaysia!!!

The message

1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second.

2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for re-entry, and check in the back before getting in.

3. Always be aware of your surroundings and other individuals in your general vicinity, particularly at night!

Send this to many girls so your friend will not be the next one!
