Taking this out from the main page and reposting here as too many people have been misled or confused. I just went to a friends place over the weekend and until now, his dad still was told that they cannot buy a MY car in Malaysia(incidentally i drove up to their house in one of my new MY cars).
Someone even said to them they cannot get a loan/insurance for cars. Yet other wise people told them they cannot buy a house in Johore. This is after they already have two houses here.
Like me, the best thing to do is to smile in this type of situation, they OBVIOUSLY know better and since they are adamant that they know the truth despite being shown and informed otherwise, best is not to argue as clearly they are better experienced than you at being an ass.
Guys, please do me a favour, next time someone says the following to you, please smile to their face:
You cannot drive a Malaysian car in Malaysia, you cannot owe and buy one, you cannot get a loan, neither can you get insurance and road tax.
You cannot own a shophouse or house, condo in Malaysia
You cannot have a bank account or current account or Fixed Deposit in Malaysia
You cannot buy pork or eat pork in Malaysia (Lots of bak kut teh, wanton me and roast meat places last i looked)
You cannot start a business in Malaysia without a Malaysian director, etc
You cannot hire Malaysians or have maids in Malaysia
You cannot stay in Malaysia more than a week
You must pay for parking even at your own terrace house
I would personally take a cold cod fish (or any dead fish) and slap some of these people the next time they mention this to me again.
I know because, cars, maids, staff, houses, business i have here. Those who say you can't, please ask them their source.
I even got humbled by my learned friend recently as he used his Maybank account to help me settle a fine (closed during CNY period so used online)
His account is linke to like 600 plus various government and private instituitions. Basically you can pay just about all your bills without going to any
POS office.
