Only want to lend if you have money, i.e, against the money you already have. Then want everyone from your grandmother and grandfather to co-sign as guarantors. No matter how well run the businesses are esp if you are a sme. Of cours if u r a Multinational then story is different. No matter how beautiful your business plan is no matter how good your track record is. Property loans also same-many of you may not realise it but at the end of the day you pay and pay and if u really sat down and calculated, you will realise that you have paid 2-3 times the original price of the house. So you just cari makan the way you can and leanr to survive.Vanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633757156549516789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-4807053927218465262007-02-08T01:35:00.000+08:002007-02-08T01:35:00.000+08:00Ahmad

Simply because he was never punctual in paying off instalments on his existing loan. And why did that happen? Simply because his business demands he makes trip overseas and so is not all the time in the country to dutifully observe that the loan repayments are religiously performed on time. <br /><br />Now we can talk about the professionalism of a banker, not bankers.POKOK KOKOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650164841581825511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-58409779671966499072007-02-08T01:31:00.000+08:002007-02-08T01:31:00.000+08:00My dear Ahmad
If what you wrote about Bob having ...My dear Ahmad<br /><br />If what you wrote about Bob having paid off all his loans is true, then all that remains is for the banks concerned to take off his name from the list of loan defaulters.<br /><br />Many a time, people have paid off their loans but their names remain on that blessed list that bankers rely on when making the final decision on whether to extend a loan to an applicant.<br /><br />I have come across such cases and have dealt with them accordingly.<br /><br />My regards to you, Brudder.POKOK KOKOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650164841581825511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-87642551108614848272007-02-04T13:33:00.000+08:002007-02-04T13:33:00.000+08:00La hawat punya bangang punya cerita sedih.

Kalau ampu along tu pengampu along juga.<br /><br />Cerita orang buat dua tiga kerja cari extra income, cubalah tanya pengedar dadah tu buka berapa banyak kedai?<br /><br />Oh cerita orang kecil main api bila dah terbakar diri sendiri kata bukan salah kami, polis tak tangkap along!<br /><br />Yang peminjam pun penipu macam along juga. Cuma kalau boleh dia tak mau bayar tetapi parang dia tak lah panjang macam parang along.<br /><br />Lain kali pakai gang la hentam along. Biar beringat-ingatan:<br />kalau dah dayus pengecut jangan la bising-bising. Cee tiam-tiam.<br /><br />Bangsat yang bawa teksi tu jangan la nanti makan suap di opis.<br /><br />Ini cerita katun mamat ni bawa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-6477263497159189572007-02-02T05:35:00.000+08:002007-02-02T05:35:00.000+08:00Dato'

Childrens crying for new toys, wife fantasizing for birthday ring. Can't afford family outing. <br />They are just a helpless thinkers, thinking about tomorrow. <br /><br />At the end of the days, they go and meet The Creator. <br /><br />This is my father's story. A Telekom's Linesman in Kuantan. May God bless him. I still wonder how he managed to raised all 10 of us till early nineties.(with RM600 civil servant wages motnhly). He spent nights to work as "Jaga', yet he always remained calm and composed. I still remember the yellow 'Buku 555' which he carries all the time.<br />I am in Dubai now. If I can take him for a vacation, an evening Turkish Coffee at Burjuman may not be enough to describe the word.<br />I missed him. Al Fatihah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
