QUOTE(eggyolk @ Apr 16 2010, 02:38 PM) Machines is only high-end here. In Singapore, even the Bangla is using MacBook. Go and have alook yourself. Just dont understand why some crave for Apple like its the air you breathe. Zzz. just put the blame on the government. Msia per capital income* is so low ($13,551) compared to Sg ($49,433). Almost 4X lower. A Bangla in Sg earn almost as much as a bank officer in Msia  . A lot of ppl still can't afford a Mac in Msia. In Sg ? even my kid carry a Macbook white and she's only in Primary 4  ..so it's nothing to brag about owning a Mac here. * based on International Monetary Fund (2009) This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Apr 17 2010, 12:24 PM |

QUOTE(omega-lynx @ Apr 17 2010, 09:29 PM) I did not bring this topic up to make it into a political and social status one. Just because on average sg earns higher, doesn't mean malaysians are all dirt poor. We have a lot more rural populations in our country and that alone can pull your Per Capita (not Capital like you wrote) Income down. Our GDP is higher than yours, but since our population are higher than yours too, it's just simple logic that our average are lower than yours. But that doesn't mean there are much much less well-to-do malaysians than singaporean. And why the need to brag about your kid carrying a Macbook? Did she paid for it herself? There are many parents here who sends their kids to private schools who can afford stuffs much more expensive than you la. My dad gave me an RX8 for my 19th birthday, but thats hardly anything to brag about here, since i've already have vehicles of much higher calibre now than im making my own money The per capita income figure comes from IMF as I have stated. No matter how you describe it, it's still the same. It proof the cost of living is low and also the average salary is lower for the same job in Msia & Sg. So who you think have more buying power? I already mentioned it's nothing to brag about regarding apple. It's the norm in Sg. Tell me, how often you see kids using Macbook at McD, Starbucks ..etc in Msia ? It's someone who couldn't understand why ppl in Msia try their means to get hold of an apple product. RX8 ? probably just enough to buy a COE in SG ?  ...well that's another topic  This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Apr 18 2010, 12:28 AM |

QUOTE(xeichaipao @ May 13 2010, 09:09 PM) cool , so minimum purchase at least rm50k per transaction? it's hard to set a fix figure. probable set it at the top 20% customers spending ? so 2 out of 10 is premium customers ... |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ May 21 2010, 01:30 PM) if i can speculate, you are probably overly sensitive and probably one of those individuals who demand attention to themselves. else why would you think your iPhone (with a rebel cover? huh? really?) is sufficient to justify your claims? whenever i'm in malaysia (due to the weather), i'm always dressed very casually, in shorts and sandals, and have popped inside machines to keep myself abreast with apple and apple-related products. no problems or whatsoever. same here, i have never have problem with Machines at JB. I bought my macbook there. Occasionally i'll just drop by and look at their stuff and they are quite happy to entertain me. |

QUOTE(bontaku @ Sep 1 2010, 04:27 PM) I just came back from KLCC and I got to say Machines KLCC was not friendly and not helpful. I heard rumours about their service but I didn't think it would be so pissing off. I visited their Gardens and Mid Valley stores - they were alright but not that eager and sometimes not sure what they have. EpiCenter Pavilion has a few good staff. SG EpiCenter and Machines staff knows their Apple stuff but just lack the friendliness. Sometimes I feel Malaysian Apple Sellers have this "want to buy only bug us" attitude. I've been to Sg EpiCenter and all the time their staffs are pretty helpful. I even called up once for them to stock the mac mini for me. Their service&repair guys also the same, very helpful This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Sep 1 2010, 05:00 PM |
