BISNES KASI BETUL

ASSALAMUALAIKUM ~

Aku dapat idea yang mencurahcurah and inspirasi nak buat post ni when I was applying the bedak sejuk Thanaka onto my full-of-pimples face malam tadi. Cool right ? Selalunya dapat ideaidea bernas ni only when I'm busy dan fokus melabur dalam tandas. The best time to do a brain-storming. Seriously ! BHAHAHAHA

So what I wanna talk actually was. Pasal ragam orang bisnes. More or less gitu la.

First of all. Why Thanaka ni memberi aku inspirasi nak cerita pasal isu ni ? Cuz when I was gigih tepektepek bedak sejuk ni kat muka, I suddenly remembered. My cousin bought this thing at RM15. Kat internet mostly jual RM30 ! But I bought it at only RM8 ! The 40g one la. Bought at kedai jamu in The Store Semenyih. So I was like. Berapa sen sebenarnya benda alah ni ? Berapa puluh sebenarnya diorang untung ? 

Although you kata RM30 tu free postage. Sahsah la the price shown already included with postage cost. And for Semenanjung kos postage is just around RM6 right ? You still untung banyak. Lets say a customer bought product A = RM30 and product B = RM20. Total customer perlu bayar is RM50. Harga asal produk A = RM10 and produk B = RM5. Which untung produk A = RM20 and produk B = RM15. So untung is RM35. Tolak dengan postage cost which is RM6 untung bersih RM29.

The more you beli the more untung diorang dapat. Sebab diorang sent everything in one package which cost RM6. Lets say you beli 2 product. Which dalam each price tu included with RM6 postage cost. So 2 product sepatutnya kos RM12 right ? But if diorang sent 2 product sekaligus and they just paid RM6 for the postage. Means diorang untung lagi RM6. Get it ? I'm not really good in explaining at all. 

Sorry penjual online semua. Aku bukan nak tutup periuk nasi korang. Just saying based of my own experiences. And I think that the consumers should know this. To be more pandai dalam membeli. And you penjual pun agakagak la letak price. Jangan melampau sangat. Be considerate. Jangan nak kejar untung je.

Dulu cikgu Kemahiran Hidup aku pernah cakap. Kalau untung melebihi 100% itu riba'. Keuntungan yang melampau tu pun riba'. Dan riba' itu haram. 

Thanaka ni asalnya dari pokok Thanaka or Sandalwood. Before selalu nampak orangorang Myanmar yang tinggal kat rumahrumah belakang tu selamba cool lepak jalanjalan luar rumah with this thing on their face. Time tu aku taktahu pebenda nya diorang pakai tu. Thought bedak sejuk biasa je. Rupanya Thanaka ni sebab kat Myanmar femes bedak sejuk ni. Kat cover bekas ni siap ada tunjuk cam bedak sejuk Thanaka ni menang award kat sana. Hey I guess I should ask them to buy it for me ? Kalau diorang balik Myanmar nak kirim la. Mana tahu sana RM1 je sebiji. Hewhewhewhew ~

Anyway I cant say much bout this product yet. Since saya ni on off je apply benda ni. Tak konsisten. Heeeee ~

Next is. A friend of my brother cerita. Dia pernah kerja kat satu clothes shop yang not really famous but growing and ada banyak branch nya gak. Normal la kan kedaikedai ni beli barangbarang dari overseas which is jauh lagi murah. But kedai tu beli kat negara lain with method menimbang ! Rare and unique right ? Or aku je yang ketinggalan ? Hahaha. Bila dia kirakira dia cakap boleh kata sehelai baju tu actually just RM1 je ! Tapi dijualnya sehelai RM30 ! PEERRGHH ~! Aku pun nak tahu negara mana yang beli barang ikut timbangan ? Boleh shopping menggila kat sana ! Anyone tahu kat mana negara tu?

Then abang Ben Ashaari made a post with this image.

It was an old post but still boleh dibincangkan lagi. Wah bahasa.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THIS !

First aku nak cakap pasal ''Untung RM5 kata kecil''.

Macam yang aku dah bebel kat atas. Orang kita ramai kejar untung lebih. Bila kena dekat diri sendiri pandai lak melatah marah. 

Another example is. Lets say you buka kedai makan. Mee goreng sepinggan RM7.50. For some maybe nampak cam harga standard. I get it. Rent kedai tu mahal the supplies maintenance nak bayar gaji pekerja lagi. But think bout it. Harga mahal takramai mampu takramai nak datang. Unless of course dalam mee tu ada udang 10 ekor ke sotong 10 ekor ke lobster sekor ke. Memang surprisingly cheap la. But ni ? Rasa biasa or hambar je. Better hire mak sendiri jadi chef. Or makcikmakcik yang buka gerai tepi jalan tu. Lagi sodap I bet. Takyah hire chef yang mahalmahal but masakan biasa je.

But what if you letak harga RM4 sepinggan ? Most people are looking for the price first. Asal perut kenyang cukup. Other few tu doesnt mind to spend more for a great taste. But surely the taste tu mesti ada. So that kalau harga lebih rasa reasonable la. Boleh la nak pergi lagi. But lets just focus on the majority. Harga mahal tapi customers datang sikit and jarangjarang datang. Tetap takboleh untung. Its like kau nak bisnes kau buka harini esok nak tutup. Thats why banyak bisnes takboleh pergi jauh. Biar harga murah untung sikit asal customers ramai datang continuously. Baru bisnes mampu tahan lama.

Design awesome tu maybe agak membantu dalam attract customers. You might say that harga mahal tu include nak cover harga decorations. Kalau you add 5 sen in each foods and drinks that you sell. When the prices are cheap. In Shaa Allah customers ramai datang. Lambat laun dapat gak cover kos decorations tu. Just be more patience la.

Other crucial factor is of course the service. Waiter mesra peramah tu bonus la. But what I want to highlight here is the SPEED of the service. I seriously cant figure out how the mamaks punya bisnes mampu buat air dan makanan semua dengan sangat pantas sekali. Ratarata taksampai seminit pun la air dah sampai. Orang datang nak makan, air mesti sampai dulu. Tangan diorang sangat expert dah bekerja. Tengok restoran Melayu. Only a few je yang betulbetul cepat. Others took so damn long la. I'm sure that ni bukan pendapat aku sorang je. Semua yang selalu lepak kat kedai Mamak are so gonna approve this. So dont blame them if diorang memonopoli bisnes makanan kita one day. They truly deserves it.

Finally. Aku nak cakap part ''Pakai bomoh, dengki, iri hati''.

Of course bukan semua. But some ada pakai khidmat bomoh. Not to be all supernatural and stuffs. But its true right ? Yang pakai bomoh tu pun reti download movie from internet siap pakai iPhone lagi. But for some unexplainable reasons still pemikiran kolot dan cetek. Bisnes bukan berbillion pun jual goreng pisang je pun. Bukan nak hina mereka yang jual goreng pisang. Cuma nak ingatkan takberbaloi that foolish act dengan dosa yang kau akan tanggung kat akhirat nanti.

Mensyirikkan Allah is dosa paling besar in Islam. Its like kau deny and takpercaya kekuasaan Allah. Nauzubillah. Why kau perlukan bantuan dari yang lain sedangkan yang lain tu pun mampu hulurkan bantuan dengan izin Allah ?

''Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengampunkan dosa mensyirikkan-Nya dengan sesuatu. Dia akan mengampukan dosa selain syirik itu bagi yang dikehendaki-Nya. Sesiapa pun mensyirikkan Allah dengan sesuatu maka sesungguhnya ia telah melakukan dosa besar'' (Surah An-Nisa' , ayat 48).

But Allah tu Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

"Sesungguhnya Allah akan menerima taubat seorang hamba selagi nyawanya belum sampai di halqum (yakni nyawanya berada di penghujung)" (HR Imam At-Tarmizi).

Death is absolute, inevitable and can never be predicted. Who knows after a few seconds you're reading this ajal anda dah tiba ? Wallahualam. I myself writing ayat ni terasa seram nya. So lets taubat before terlambat.

Oh and for peniagapeniaga. Selain ayat seribu dinar for murah rezeki. Amat digalakkan baca surah Al-Falaq. In Shaa Allah menghindarkan diri dari sifat dengki dan iri hati orang.

Just to clear things up. Semua ni komen and teguran dari pandangan aku. Me myself is not perfect. But as a consumer I do have a right to say this. Aku sayang bangsa aku. Sometimes tu kita beli just sebab nak tolong bangsa sendiri. Tapi kalau dah bangsa sendiri tindas bangsa sendiri. Mesti rasa taklayak dah nak sayang and tolong diorang.

This is not a post yang berunsur perkauman. Its not wrong at all to mencontohi everything yang baik dari orang lain even though orang tu berlainan bangsa dan agama dari kita right ? Even you yourself must at least once merungut komplen kutuk pasal masalah bangsa sendiri when it comes to hal bisnes.

Dont let your ego stand in your way. Cam pepatah Arab kata ''Terima la nasihat walaupun dari mulut seekor lembu.'' Why lembu ? Guwa pun taktahu wallahualam.

But I'm saying this is so that. Hopefully. I can see a better Malaysian one day in future. In Shaa Allah.

FLUORIDE IN TOOTHPASTE

ASSALAMUALAIKUM ~

An awesome friend of mine, Hilman just posted this on Facebook. 

Honestly aku pun baru tahu pasal ni ! And actually its TRUE ! Thus buat aku rasa berminat nak kupas and share isu ni ECEEEEHH ayat.

Fluoride ni sebenarnya bahan kimia yang highly toxic. In fact, before fluoride disifatkan as a cavity fighter, it was used as racun serangga and racun tikus ! 

Fluoride is a pollutant - a by-product of copper, iron and aluminium manufacturing. In th 1930's, a study funded by one of the largest aluminium companies menyatakan yang fluoride ni berkesan dalam menghalang kerosakan gigi. And bila diorang buat lagi research, bila fluoride ni ditambah dengan air, gigi akan jadi lebih sihat dan bersinar gitu.

Well, kalau nampak dari luarannya, memang la gigi nampak lebih bersih. But what fluoride actually does is menghakis gigi !

According to the largest study ever conducted on fluoridation and oral health. 39,000 school children in 84 areas around the U.S. were studied in the mid-80's. And the results showed no statistical difference in tooth decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated cities.

Meanwhile, tooth decay trends tracked by the World Health Organization from 1970 to the present show that the incidence of decayed, missing or filled teeth has been steadily in decline with each passing year in the U.S., France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Iceland and Greece. Malaysia ? Wallahualam.

So kenapa jumlah kerosakan gigi menurun ? Jawapan yang paling jelas is for sure a better oral hygiene and improved dental practice. Bukannya sebab fluoride. Sebab antara semua negara-negara yang dinyatakan kat atas tu, cuma Amerika je yang tambah fluoride dalam public water supply diorang !

Bila you consume too much fluoride, not only your teeth can become discolored and crumble. Your mind and body pun terjejas sama !

In tests on laboratory animals, fluoride has been shown to enhance the brain's absorption of aluminum. Which can cause Alzheimer. 3 kajian osteoporosis yang berbeza telah dikaitkan dengan keretakan pinggul with fluoridation. Also, excessive fluoride boleh menyebabkan kerosakan to sistem otot dan saraf, which leads to limited joint mobility, ligament calcification, muscular degeneration and neurological deficits ! And lets not forget. Kanser tulang !

Dont bother on wondering why the government halalkan bahan yang merbahaya ni. Semua permainan politik. Its absolutely impossible and nonsense if diorang boleh terlepas pandang such crucial info.

Persetankan iklan gigi yang dengan comelnya berkata ''BELILAH UBAT GIGI DENGAN FLUORIDA ~!' ! If produk kesihatan gigi tu bagitahu yang it mampu kasi gigi lebih cerah dengan cepat. That means that it contains lots of fluoride.

Although its true that in the world nowadays, fluoride ni takboleh nak elak sangat sebab kat udara yang tercemar pun actually contain fluoride. So what can we do is to minimize the kuantiti penerimaan atau pengambilan fluoride. Dont worry ! Takpernah langsung wujud kes fluoride deficiency.

As my friend stated above. 

"Kenapa ubat gigi seperti Mukmin dan Halagel berani kata 'ubat gigi kami tiada fluorida' ? Sebab mereka Islam dan tidak diajar penganiyaan"

Indeed the power of the media and advertisement is unimaginable. 

So now what should we do ? BERTUKAR lah kepada UBAT GIGI yang TIADA FLUORIDA ~

Anyway, a friend suggested me to read The Deadly Mist by Jerry D. Grey. A book yang membongkarkan rahsia Amerika merosakkan umat manusia by entertainment, kesihatan, pemakanan, perang and so much more. Have you read it ?
