Get Tuned on with NO FRILLS

From Asia’s NO-FRILLS airline to Asia’s NO-FRILLS hotel.
and even Tune Money.. What a wonder!! Datuk Tony Fernandes is really
cashing in everything that brings in money.. A brilliant idea..

Now, my plan to start up a low cost chain of budget hotel has taken away :(
At least it’s Tony who is starting this idea, not some useless u know who..

Location of Tune Hotel, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

I came to know about Tune Hotels when I was driving pass Sultan Ismail
while on my way to work and I saw the banner as “Asia’s No Frills Hotel”.
It hits me and I said to myself, sure that “bahger” Tony is investing in this
new business venture and it turns out to be TRUE!. SALUTE TONY!!

The location is on the junction of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan T.A.R.
Very strategic location with just a few minutes away from Medan Tuanku
Monorail station. It was the former Grand Centrepoint hotel and was
acquired by Tune Hotels Sdn Bhd for about RM 12.5 million! WHOA!!

I came home and did my research of this new business venture – online.
This is a great business that can stretch all over Asia. As sources said that
Tune Hotels is gonna be at every Air Asia’s destination, which I’m thinking
that it will be a true thing.

More I searched, THEY ARE RECRUITING! hmm…

Doing Business in Malaysia

IT IS MY WARNING!! If you ever come across the company which is a
“Malaysian First Multi-Fulfillment Service”. Think twice is my advise.
The true story of “A DISGRACE TO HIS PARENTS AND FAMILY”

It is harsh, but it is the reality. Running a business is just like digging your
own grave deeper. But it will be in another way round if you know how you
play your game “business” wisely.
But I ain’t running my own business, I run my job the way I run a business.

I’ve just got struck with this harsh reality and it just happened last week.
It was reminded that, giving a credit term for a customer is at my own
risk, and I took that risk because I trusted this guy wholeheartedly!!
In the end, it made me a complete idiot by this idiot.

I dealt with this company a few times, even wanted to engage into a
partnership with them, but the deal and discussion just didn’t went through.

This time, it cost me double my salary pay and I’m on the verge of getting
kicked out and was given a final warning by my company not to engage
into a credit term without an approval first. Well, which I do agree, I’m wrong.

The first payment was just hard to get, then came second, it became better.
Till once, this “main person” of this “Malaysian First Multi-Fulfillment
Service” company even curse and swore at the way I dealt with his vacation
booking. I was labeled by this Dato’ who was appeared in local papers
“A DISGRACE TO HIS PARENTS AND HIS FAMILY”. You as why?
Just because my company wouldn’t allow a credit term of RM 10K and
I asked his permission to charge to his credit card, he say he finished his
credit with shopping with his wife, but until I insist and I was labeled that!

So, people… face the true reality, as I am just an idiot who trusted this guy
blindly, just because he is the Dato’ and the “main person” of this
“Malaysian First Multi-Fulfillment Service” company.

A person with promises made but never fulfilled in this multi-fulfillment co!
So many top management Executives, Managing Directors and CEOs I’ve
met but he is one of the many I’ve met that really brings me tough-life.

The company is growing and coming up with new products and expanding
all over Malaysia. But it is just that with one “BAD APPLE” in one basket
the whole basket would become bad apple as well. No wonder the company
incurred losses of RM 6mil to Rm 7mil in the first 2 years of R&D. I dunno.
I don’t just ass-u-me while I got it from the news.

Just like my Group General Manager said that once he see any name in a
name card he knows which is trusted and which is not and to be careful when
we are dealing with them. It is true and I came to realize that IT IS TRUE.
Another sister company of mine also faced the same problem and that cost
a fortune- 5 figures amount!!!

I better get the payment back as soon as possible.
Oh wellz, I learned my lesson this time. What a life! Sigh…
