only in Malaysia...

you know in Malaysia money is NOT everything??? Even if you have enough money to purchase the things that you want, the seller would just ignore you and not letting you buy? Give you some examples that i faced and i heard... :P

1. My project need to test on handphone and Malaysia happens to have that model in the market. So i went nicely to the shop and ask for the price and blah blah blah... so after everything is done, i asked them whether i can use a oversea credit card (as i'm helping my counterpart to buy and ship back to his country for business purpose) , they say CANNOT... becoz the credit card system is NOT wired up to accept oversea credit card??!??!?!? this is the first joke.... ok fine, i asked my colleague to exchange some cash at the hotel and come back again to purchase it the next day. You know that happend the next day? He cant buy that model becoz it has to be signed up with our local service provider. We did ask him about the price if we just want the handphone and we willing to pay extra for that... so... this is another joke... you got the cash and money... but no product to sell to you...

2. I heard from my colleague that her friend went to kids' department and tried out a shirt for herself as her size is small. Guess what the sale girl tell her after knowing that she wants that shirt... you cannot buy as it's meant for kids only....

3. Try going tot Pizza hut and order the kids' meal... guess what they'll tell you.... "No, you cant order this, as this is meant for kids only". What if i'm not that hungry and just want to eat small portion? Why Mc-D and KFC dont even bother whether the adult buying it or the kids buying it and Pizza hut making a big fuzz over it??

here you go... 3 classic example to show you that you have money?? so what?? welcome to Malaysia... :D
