 Repost - taken from FB posted on 4-April-2022 I always wonder what is the biggest cause of famine when the bible mentioned that one of the sign of end times wouls be Famine, besides war and rumours of war as well as earthquakes and pestilences.    So I always thought that, what kind of disaster that will strike that can cause food production be so severely affected - a drought? But watching the developments unfold… there seems to be different possibilities of severe famine could come.   The war between Russia and Ukraine really opened up my mind to different revelation of how things could have potential impact on various things.    Im sharing a bit of my early stage experiences now, since i am involved in food industry, a small aqua-entreprenuer i wouls say, with a small fish farm.    Prices of feed that is controlled by the feedmill have already increased 20% since the day of year 2000 around the time Pandemic jus started. Prices are anticipated to go up. So when you saw prices of fo

 Reposted from 19-June-2022 I would love to express my utmost gratitude to both Chris & Latausha.   I was doing some works at the Hotel Lobby and accidentally left my wallet there. I wasnt even realising that I have forgotten about the wallet and returned to my hotel room. Within like 5 minutes the phone rang and a lady asked "Did you lose your wallet?" - I was like "Did I?" - to my shocked, I realised that yes, I do lost my wallet. She said "No you didnt. It is with me at the front desk".   It is a very warmth morning to experience such a great testimony of honesty, and I wish to leave a note of thanks, of how much misery it will be for my stay to have lost all my monies and my credit cards. I pray that our very dear God, our Lord Jesus, will also graciously bless both of you.    Thank you for the wonderful moment again this has recorded in my life. Indeed, this journey to come to Arlington for Bible Study Fellowship's Launch program has piled me

  Reposted from 24-June-2022 As I complete my BSF Launch journey…   As I checked in at the airport, the queue was long and the check in was very slow.    At the counter, i requested for an isle seat. This will be a 16 hours flight and it will be extremely torturous, as how i experienced it when i flew into Dallas frm Doha, but with company of Brother Jerry, it was very much better.    Now that i have to fly alone, i can only hope for an isle seat by myself, so i can move around whenever i need to stretch. The long distance means “sit until the backside pain”.    To my disappointment, the staff told me, sorry this is a full flight and there is no more isle seat available. You hv to sit in the middle. Well, in my heart, God this is for you. I accept with a cheerful heart, though i don really like it.    At the boarding gate, another announcement was made, stating this is a full flight. You cannot bring more than 1 luggage, and hv to check in additional pieces and they are unable to enter

  Written on: 16-June-2022  Repost Here:    About to travel overseas tomorrow for Our Bible Study Fellowship training. Feeling bit anxious, partly because of the distance and also the time i have to stay away frm home. With things to clear off before my departure, there are many things in my head, and it has definitely made me absent minded. So today, i accidentally locked my office door with my keys inside.    So i quickly texted my good brother Ben Tham to rescue. Imagine, i actually asked him how to break the door when i actually meant how to break the lock. He was super nice, offer to take few hours off to come all the way from MCKL to see if he can help me unlock it. Agreed - feeling bad of course, at 3pm. So im feeling so helpless, can jus walk here and there, lie on the sofa, thinking what i can do. No computer, nothing, stranded and handicapped.    Fast forward.. i do not know why and how, i jus took my key frm my pocket, where my MCKL room key is together with ny car key, and

  Touch & Go now launches its GO Pinjam.   Look at the enormous interest charge it can impose on you? 36% pa max. 36% hellooo. 36%. And look at the illustration, it is trying to give you an impression it is cheaper to borrow even at 36% vs 18% when it quotes “RM21” vs “RM115”.    This is irresponsible illustration, because one is a tenure of 6-month vs 3 weeks.    We re entering a regime of easy credit, in a legal way, no splashing of red paints on your housewalls, but you will unconsciously work your whole life to be slave to these financial institutions. Noticed the emergence of “Shoppee Pay Later” “Boost Pay Later” “Laz Pay Later”…    The system is trying to make you live like you dont really feel any difference because it is all cashless, e-money, but in actual fact, the system is swallowing you bit by bit and you just “get used to it”. Beware lest that you are a Slave to this system.    Financial Literacy is very important.     Low Chin Ann is the founding Director of Genesis

SBL New Format from Sep 2023 Exam SBL was introduced back then in 2018 as a case-study paper. It was an undisclosed case study with a 4-hour exam. It was known as a combined ACCA P1 and P3 papers. Back then, we called it Professional Accountants (then changed name to Governance, Risk and Ethics) and Business Analysis paper.  Few years have passed and ACCA evolved to adapt into the needs of the environment, both the workplace and also the students. In conjunction, we will see further restructuring of the SBL, with very drastic change with effect from Sep 2023 exam onwards.  This video will give a quite overview of how the new SBL would be:  Mr Low Chin Ann is the founding director of Genesis Origo . He is also a lecturer for the ACCA SBL. 

Can a Nation Print Money to Solve Poverty? Student asked "Teacher, I am poor. Cant the government just print more money and let us spend?" This is a very popular question asked by my students whenever we talk about the economy. This may be a long read, but spare few minutes and read through. Currency is not money backed by Gold since the Nixon Shock (u can google it to understand the history of when nations started giving up Gold as a standard to back their money). So using a very simple analogy to explain the situation. Let's use "Teacher" as your government and "Students" as the people and exam marks as the money each of them deserves. Some work hard and brilliant, so they got themselves more marks than others. Some are contented with enough for themselves so they stopped there. Some are really really backwards and behind and never seem to rise up to the standards - and we have those in poverty. Let's say they only score 5marks in each exam and w
