Cheap is Out!

Fellow blogger David Khaw has something to say about the rising cost of living in Malaysia.

“I guess the problem lies within us. We’ve got to stop playing the cheap card and start playing the quality card. Make people do business with us because we are competent and deliver quality. Not because we are cheap.”Read more…

Yes, most of the financial decisions we made, we never really think about it until the bill comes, and that’s when we start paying blindly for it.

And Malaysia is full of cheap products (read: third party that tries to brand and sound like quality brands, Pensonic anyone?), cheap services (irresponsible insurance agents who are looking for quick bucks leaving thousands of orphaned policyholders out there) or even cheap professionals (most of my experience with doctors proved that either these people fried their brains during their studies or they just refused to accept the fact that they are dealing with patients with emotion).
