Life beside the edge

[Chinese version Click Here]

Today I bring contractor (Daddy’s friend) to see my house and estimate the rough quotation for Kitchen renovation. I just plan to build a concrete table for the kitchen, also need about 2~3K (exclude all wooden cabinet). Haiz… Money not enough~

A lots of money needed for house renovation. Hopefully I have enough money for it. (’_‘)

Just now when I was there, the TNB (Tenaga National Berhad) people come to install the Electric Meter. We chit-chat about house matter while he doing the installation.

TNB: This is your house?
me: Yes.
TNB: how much is it?
me: around 189k.
TNB: how much you take for the loan and how long it take?
me: 90% of total house price and loan period is 30years.
TNB: Why don’t you buy it by cash?
me: how can, if do so, sure the taxation people will investigate on me.
TNB: you, chinese can ma…
me: … … … (Speechless)

What meaning that “Chinese can ma”? We buy the house by our own money without any discount for 7%, anything wrong with this? Why they just so envy when they saw chinese have some better? For about 50 years they were getting all kind of benefit and yet they need to blame this and that~

Wait, we have all our properties because we really work hard on it, we do not have any help from any parties or people. While we need to struggle for money to pay 10% down payment, they only need to pay 3% (7% discount), they are getting better offer compare to us. I just don’t understand…
