  1. Actually, the Taiwanese scammers targeted both Taiwan people and mainlanders. That's why both the mainland and Taiwanese governments wanted to arrest them. After the Taiwan authorities freed the scammers, they realized their mistake after Malaysia subsequently deported Taiwanese scammers to the mainland so eventually they jailed the freed scammers in the hope that future deportation goes to Taiwan instead of the mainland.
  2. Of course jailed there. Taiwanese scammers originally operated from Taiwan. After clampdowns by Taiwan authorities, the scammers moved to China. When mainland police cracked down on them, they moved to Southeast Asia. That's why you see Malaysian authorities caught so many Taiwanese scammers. https://topics.amcham.com.tw/2016/05/taiwans-scam-artists-go-global/
  3. Already shown you the news that originally Malaysia deported the Taiwanese scammers to Taiwan, but too bad the Taiwanese gov simply released them all. Of course Malaysia got angry and deported them to mainland China instead. The Taiwanese were involved in the scamming business earlier than the mainlanders. They were not all victims, although some of them were. They are still in the business. The mainlanders have learned the business from the Taiwanese scammers. https://topics.amcham.com.tw/2016/05/taiwans-scam-artists-go-global/
  4. The metro lines of Kuala Lumpur started off as privately owned. The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis bankrupted the cronies of politicians that owned the lines and had to be bailed-out via nationalization. Subsequent lines were built by the state and so a single-payment method for all the lines, including buses, was easily implemented. And because all the lines and buses of Kuala Lumpur are owned by the state, a cheap, heavily subsidized, concessionary pass could be launched. The MY50 monthly pass as it is called, is very popular, with over 220,000 subscribers.
  5. Hey Bob, did you know that according to Buddhism, a womanizer, if reborn as a human again, will be reborn as a prostitute or ladyboy? Mild cases will be reborn just as a woman.
  6. Bangkok should implement something like in Kuala Lumpur - RM50 (around THB 380) for an unlimited use monthly pass for all lines, including buses.
  7. Cheaper to fly to Kuala Lumpur instead.
  8. The Taiwanese government freed the scammers, not kicked them to mainland China. https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/20-taiwanese-fraud-suspects-deported-from-malaysia-freed-116041600419_1.html That's why subsequently the Malaysian government deported the Taiwanese scammers to mainland China instead. The Taiwan government was not happy about it and protested. https://www.nst.com.my/news/2016/11/193100/taiwan-protests-against-malaysias-deportation-telco-fraud-suspects-china Taiwanese scammers are found in many parts of the world, such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Spain, Kenya, Armenia. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/28/indonesia-says-will-deport-103-taiwanese-suspected-of-cybercrimes-in-bali https://www.occrp.org/en/news/armenia-78-taiwanese-among-129-deported-to-china-for-fraud
  9. No way Thailand is going to remove visa free status for China tourists. Already lost to Malaysia last year as Southeast Asia's no. 1 tourist destination. Some years back, Malaysia tourist numbers were higher than Thailand's, but it lost the title to Thailand after some stupid Malaysian politicians got rid of the visa-free status for China tourists. And now Malaysia had beaten Thailand again after the visa-free status were reinstated for China tourists.
  10. The Taiwanese were in the scamming business earlier than the mainlanders. Here in Malaysia, some years back, the police caught many Taiwanese scammers and deported them back to Taiwan but the Taiwan gov simply released them so after that the authorities deported them to Mainland China instead and from then onwards the Taiwanese scammers didn't dare to operate from Malaysia anymore.
  11. In Thailand, the language used when dealing with the government is Thai. In business, the language used is also Thai. So it is no wonder that the Thais are poor in English - they simply do not have the need to use it on a daily basis, unless they are in the tourism business. Here in Malaysia, the language used when dealing with the government is Malay and English. In business, the language used is Malay, Chinese and English. That's why the typical Chinese Malaysian can read and write Malay, English and Chinese. Most Thai Chinese and Indonesian Chinese can not speak Chinese.
  12. Malaysians like me have no problem using our Malaysian e-wallet and banking apps to pay PromptPay. Maybe there aren't that many of your kind that visits Thailand so banks from your country do not bother to integrate with Promptpay. Also, we may not need to open Thai bank accounts to save on ATM withdrawal fees because we can withdraw from our Malaysian bank accounts from banks such as UOB and CIMB without any charges.
  13. Yes, Singapore is definitely not squeaky clean. In fact Singapore attracted many successful criminals to move there. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/billion-dollar-money-laundering-case-recap-cna-explains-conclusion-4401811 As you can see from the list, many of them have Cambodian citizenships.
  14. Only the greedy Cambodian politicians should be blamed for ruining Sihanoukville. The Chinese criminals simply took advantage of the opportunities available.
  15. What is the definition of murder? The unlawful act of killing with premeditation. The often repeated accusation decades later by some authors that Mao killed millions of people during the Great Leap Forward but if it was a famine, why would that be considered intentional killing? Anyway, the CIA had confirmed that the famine did not happen when it released its archive on the issue in 2004, too late to debunk those authors that made the accusations.
