To be honest, the dating scene in Malaysia is quite dead due to our conservatism. With LA being the monopoly in this industry, they will be charging exhorbitantly on desperate singles.

If you go to other countries, even in spore, there is a healthy competition with many government registered dating agencies, surely the services would be pressured to provide better service and lower charges (unlike here).

I am sure there are speedating events in malaysia too right?

There should be also other cheaper dating agencies in malaysia? Maybe they are not as famous as LA, but I am sure it is not because they are inferior to LA but just that they do not spend so much money on advertisements

For example, I heard that Dating Moments agency in Singapore also has a branch in Malaysia.

Its difficult to compete with LA, because they monopolize the industry. I have friends who sign up with LA, its not the service problem, the problem is, every year they increase price with excuses. So they sorta outprice people. For instance if you're looking for lower ranking job females like secretary and teachers, you won't find it in LA, because LA charge so high only the high ranking executives can afford the service.

Not easy because not many Malaysians are into dating.

I can understand if you say the Malays who are the majority population marry early age so they don't join dating agencies.

But the chinese who are the minority population still make up about 10 to 30 percent of the population they will still join dating agencies to find a partner right?

Not to forget, they can also join speedating events or other cheaper dating agencies

Malaysia is such a big country there should be at least 20 to 50 or 100 dating agencies there for you to chose

Even in singapore such a tiny country, there is already about 20 dating agencies here

So if you don't want to spend so much money and don't mind meeting lower ranking females liek secretary and teachers, than just chose 1 of the remaining 100 plus dating agencies in malaysia to join
*
WHere got 100 plus dating agency in Malaysia? Please name them?

Actually don't think a lot of Chinese go through dating agency. Most of them prefer to chase partner via office or school.

Singapore more developed and open culture than here, that's why more dating agencies.

Are you trying to tell me a joke by claiming that Lunch Actually is the only dating agency in malaysia?

I am not a malaysian so i don't know what dating agencies are there but i can at least tell you 1 dating agency which have branch in singapore, malaysia and Hong Kong

http://www.datingmoments.com/

So are you saying most chinese find their partner in school and in workplace?

Than how come lunch actually can still survive for so long in malaysia?

Is this another of your joke?
*
there are others like the MCA cupid club but they work on small scale. Dating moments tried to get into the Msian market, but biz bad, so they fold up their ops here.

Yeah its no joke, LA is the dominant force in dating in msia. That's why they keep on raising prices. I don't deny that some of my friends has successfully found life partner in LA and its other dating schemes. But for the price you pay, you wonder if its worth while or not.

Even Esync is not cheap.

I did a random google search

You can join this 2 dating agency in malaysia too

Anyway, malaysian chinese can also chose to come to singapore to work and find a partner in singapore through the many dating agencies here.

At the same time, malaysian chinese can also enjoy the higher salary in singapore and apply for PR while retaining malaysian citizenship so when old that time can still chose to retire back in malaysia
You sure about Dating Moments closing down?

In their website they still write that they have branch in singapore, malaysia and hong kong

http://www.datingmoments.com/careers_datingmoments.html

Dating Moments Pte Ltd, a leading Dating Agency in Singapore, Malaysia & Hong Kong is expanding their team of expertise!

Well a friend of mine tried to call Dating Moment, but that number no longer operable.

Not sure how effective those other dating agengies are, atm LA is the leading monopoly here. Yeah its hope more competition will come to prevent LA from raising prices and at least better their services to not outprice customers.

Spore got its own problems. For those women who want to make a career in Spore, some may not plan to have children. So for the men there who want to marry them, may be in a dilemma. Its tough to raise kids in Spore. Unless you got relatives living there to help chip in the raising of the child. But if both are migrants to Spore, with no relatives, they gotta trust the expensive childcare there.

Yeah for Chinese to have a kid must spend millions, uni education ,car, hp, sony playstation, amway nutrition, kumon kid education, branded clothes, best milk in the world quality.

For melei, more simpler - uni edu not required, normal milk will do, can makan ord vitamins, main guli or bola sepak. SO much savings.

No wonder cainis are not propagating.

do u still have hope in this country?
if not, do you wish your kids to suffer here?
if you rather your kids to develop their studies or career in other countries, then why did you give birth to them in the first place, since chances are you won't be seeing them when you are dying one day
part of the reasons for chinese reluctant to have children is because their urbanization rate is faster than malays

in the near future malays will decrease on their no of children as well, due to urbanization
*
Unless we live in an island, I don't think the malays urbanization rate would be top anytime soon. There will always be rural areas.

Even so, by the time malays become 100% urbanized, the Chinese would be so few until pupus due to our low birth rates.

for our generation, got kids or no kids also most likely we will die in old folks home, if not in our own house, alone
concept of 养儿防老 is outdated already
*
Its up to the parent how they can bring up their kids, if one day they old, and their kids not bother to visit them in old folks, something must be really bad in their parenting skills.

In most cases, by the time the parent is so old have to go to old folks home, its the time when they are so old that they suffer from dementia and have to wear pampers until their kids can't take care of them due to high cost and high stress office environment (no time) - not because they don't care.

So even if the parent die alone, their state of dementia is so bad, that they don't even know they are alone.

My sentiments doh.gif Heck i won't be surprised another factor was they girls go kahwin angmoh and so the pool is even smaller 4 they guys doh.gif

Asian girls can kahwin the ang moh even face problem, because they aim for citizenship in western ang moh world.

Don't really understand these ang moh liberals, they only want Syrian asylum seekers, Amos Yee type asylum seekers and Asian brides but when it comes to hard working Asian economic migrants that can contribute to their society - they reject.

Coming back to the topic, I wish there be more dating sites with lower cost base. I got feedback from lots of friends who tried LA, tells me the concept works but unfortunately LA offer cut throat prices, really expensive and want to charge at premium upper market.

A friend of mine, who was using LA services, he used all their services, found that the girls he met were all upper class because the price was so high. But he met his wife, when he was buying jewellery for his date, and fell in love with the jeweler sales girl. He told me that he realized that its those below certain wealth class that LA prices out, like his current wife who is a jewellery sales girl.

Decided to make a post here. Hopefully can help people clarify some answers.

This life is about balancing. We are talking about dating angecy.  (Lunch Actually aka LA)
Fixed Price: Standard RM3k for 10 dates. ( take it more or less so this is an average)

Everything we do in our life has risk. Investment on sentiment or money. risk of non success and success. Same goes with Dating Agency. Before we take out the money and invest on this dating, do minimize the risk.

As a girl :-
The girls who signed up for LA, I can't say all but majority are average or below average girls. Let's be honest, guys hope to meet hot girls who are pretty. Do you think the pretty girls willing to fork out RM3k to sign this up? Hell no. Chances are less than getting jackpot. Okay maybe there is handsome and rich guys who want true fairy tale love, there will be plenty of girls surrounding them outdoors by the time, the attractive and/or rich guys won't have time to spend here at LA. Okay maybe it happens that there is guys anti social hence wanna try this dating set up, so of all the girls who have signed this up previously, how long is the waiting list? Okay statistically the chances are very very low. It's still your choice to gamble.

As a guy :-
The guys who signed up for LA, majority of the attractive and/or good girls are ALWAYS surrounded by guys outdoors, left the "unique" ones signed up for LA. More or less even if you get the chance to be together with them, sooner or later will be separated. Why? Because the good girls are always taken or wanna be alone during heart breaking or healing time. Best is when you camp them beside and patiently develop the sentiment. Okay you want to be positive, then this world will be a lot more complicated. Otherwise it's as simple as you don't think about it.

Rationally, we expect the same quality when we talk about same equal matching between guys and girls if we pay the money like that in terms of looks, loyalty and wealth. Sadly it doesn't work like that in our current society and environment.

There is no definite answers here but I hope LA can offer demo or guarantee return for customers who has interest and appreciate this service.
Eg. Pay RM3k for 10 quality dates. if you happened to be matched with a person on your 4th date, the remaining 6 dates of money (60%) will be refund to you. A sum of charge 20% to LA for the commission. 40% absorb if both married. Then I'll say is fair. T&C Apply. I won't talk about t&c much as there is too subjective. (pig without money looking for phoenix with money, frog looking for princess, false personality & attitude information provided by customers, there is always a policy to work this out). As of right now, it's too risky to sign up LA. Sure if you are the person I was mentioning, rich.. careless of risk and anti social, this is one of your many ways to find a partner.

Sorry for the long post.
*
They now got refund if you success 1-4th date? Hmm there is something not right. I asked few friends, they told me they usually find the first few dates ok, but as it progresses, it gets worse and worse, even they encounter mutants.

So it makes them wonder if LA is really sending part time women who are hired to do this in first or second date? No prove of this la, or if LA identifies a really nice looking girl would recycle her for couple of guys while give her big discounts to sign up?

Anyways, I also know some girls who sign up with LA, encounter some really weird guys who seem to never have interacted with girls before. I know a colleague, she told me that one of her dates ask her, what it would be like if they got married and that question was posed in a first date. It got her freaked out.

Understand all businesses are going concern and want to make profit but find LA a bit too greedy. They price out a lot of potential women dates, by charging so high. I met a lot of girls out of LA, that work as jewellery sales girl, wedding photographer, biologist who would not have been able to afford their services.

If LA decided to go low end, low price and quantity, this would really help a lot of people to find the ONE.
