Competition Is Good...

Ever since we have new players in the broadband scene, we notice that service is now better from TM. I supposed they are beginning to feel the heat... Streamyx used to be the fastest broadband cos there was none for to compete. Telekom had the monopoly. Celcom, Maxis, Wi-Max and now I hear there's another one coming second half of the year.

Competition is good. Now if you've problem with your Streamyx connection, service is prompt. Goes to show that a little competition puts everyone on their toes and consumers benefit in the end.

Unlike our 'national' ciplak car who has always been getting Big Bro's help to continue to sell. How not to be the village king when the village chief introduce all sorts of measures to make sure that the villagers cannot afford other cars. The latest being the higher interest rate for non-national cars; at a time when interest rates are already so low, car hire purchase rates are bucking the trend.

I could go on... fair competition in other sectors; education being one of them. Too many morally questionable practices.... but enough has already been said.
