Ladies and gentlemen, here I present you the WTF car number plate!

Someone spotted this car with the car number plate “WTF1″. Yes, W-T-F. But in this case, it is not the acronym of “What The F*ck?”.

WTF is the prefix 3 letters of current car registration number in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the time I am writing, the latest car registration number is “WTF2178″.

Meaning, there are now 2,178 WTFs on the road in Malaysia now.

Few years ago, Malaysia’s neighbor, encounter similar car number plate “problem” when S-E-X will be the prefix for their vehicle registration numbers. Then, Singapore banned vowels in the middle of number plates to prevent SEX on Singapore’s road.

If you could get a “fancy” car number plate, what would it be?

For Malaysians. I have received my PayPal money in my Public Bank account!

I withdrew the PayPal money at Nov 2, 2009 and received in my Public Bank account at Nov 5, 2009. 4 working days. I withdrew more than RM400, so there is no extra fee.

Surname? Name?

When you are adding bank account to PayPal account, PayPal fixed the “surname” field according to your account information. The “surname” might be your name.

It doesn’t matter. Don’t worry.

Just make sure your full name is there, no matter how they arrange your name. Example: “Surname Name” or “Name Surname”.

A reader also reported that she received PayPal money, even only submitted partial of her full name (missing middle name)!

Read my previous post “How to withdraw PayPal money to any Malaysia bank accounts?“

For Malaysians. Thanks to PayPal support for Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Now you can withdraw PayPal money directly to any Malaysia local bank accounts!

Read on to find out how to do that.

A bit background…

In 2004, PayPal starts to accept Malaysian registrations. No withdrawal options for Malaysians that time.

3 years later, 2007, PayPal allows Malaysians to withdraw PayPal money to their credit card, debit card, or prepaid cards.

2 years later, in the middle of October 2009, PayPal started to support Malaysia Ringgit currency and updated the user policy (paypal login required).

Shortly after, the end of October 2009, PayPal officially allows PayPal money withdrawal to Malaysia bank accounts! A feature that we have waited for 6 years!

What’s the big deal?

Now, Malaysians can send & receive PayPal money in Malaysia Ringgit (MYR) currency, and withdraw PayPal money to local bank accounts!

Meaning, you can sell your stuff online and let PayPal handle the payment transactions, local or International! It truly opens a new door to Malaysia e-commerce business!

Note: Malaysians still cannot top-up their PayPal accounts from their bank accounts.

How to add Malaysia bank account to PayPal?

1. Login your PayPal account. Under “My Account” tab, click “Profile” then click “Add/Edit Bank Account“.
2. At the new page “Add a bank account in Malaysia“. You need to fill in your name, bank name, bank routing code, and your bank account number.

   

   Updated: Don’t need to worry about the fixed “Surname” in the form. Just make sure your full name is included. The name’s arrangement (Surname Name or Name Surname) doesn’t matter. Click here for more information.

   Tip: click on the “Details” link to find out your bank’s routing code

3. After you are done, you will be asked to review the details. Click “Add Bank Account” button if everything is correct.
4. You are done!

As you know, my iPhone 3Gs was dead. I went to Maxis tower to claim warranty for my dead iPhone 3GS. It was not a very pleasant experience..

I reached Maxis tower at 3.00pm (Oct 10, 2009). Took a queue number “866″. Number of customers waiting was 14, as printed on the queue ticket.

Waited 1 hour more for my turn, I almost dozed off at the customer waiting area. The staff who attended me wanted to troubleshooting the bricked iPhone, and the time needed was one and a half hour!
