I see.
You mention he used you for drop shipping?

Then cut biz and financial ties.

he ridicule me after my long lecture.

he said he doesnt want to be dependency on my, but what a load of bullshit, my brother kinda dependency on his friends.

his so called friends arent really friends

his friends earn commission by selling him insurance that are overinsured. he cant afford to continue paying, and cancelled it and loses lots of money on it.

his another friend earn referral by introducing him to TFX.

i am his elder brother, i dont earn anything from advising him. today, i wasted lots of hours on him.

there is a misunderstanding. i mean he sells cosmetics on shopee using dropship method.

he also drop lots of shocking info to me.

- TFX...
-shopee dropship
-buying stock from alibaba
- he have no intention to declare income. he compare himself to roadside nasi lemak seller. he said nasi lemak seller also didnt declare income
-he wants to earn continuously passive income monthly 2-3k
- he said the cosmetics products is okay, if it isnt okay, the dropship company wont dare to sell it in malaysia

Even criminals diversify into legitimate business.
Not declaring income and paying tax = crime.
Not even saying about undeclared cosmetics.

Well, you've seen serious /k comments - all the best to you.

Anyway, if TS wants to make sure whether the product is notified with NPRA or not, may check here:

Nasi lemak seller sell in cash, nobody can check unless they find out how much beras santan they buy then calculate themselves. Shopee all online transaction black and white how to run?

And that is one of the most stupid reason I have heard. Won't dare to sell? Hello China fake milk kill baby also dare to sell what they don't dare do? Unless you take and do lab test make sure is safe products how can you know for sure? Most fake products have steroids, people use really become better, because steroids ma! But long term of course harmful.

TS, you good person. Tell already don't want to listen then nothing much you can do. Just be careful of your family or your parents money don't kena con. You can help them once or twice you cannot help whole life.

its not with NPRA. i have checked an hour ago

He is ur brother, dun say him like this lar.

Why don’t you be a good citizen report your brother to authorities. If don’t dare, just become mystery shopper then lodge a complaint in Shopee against him. That’ll scare him

i will not report my own brother

i tried my best to forget all the sad stuff, and i think i buried 50% in my subconscious already, or else, i probably cant sleep at night

day 2:

suddenly, i realized, by telling him about "notified" cosmetics, i iprobably cause him in deeper hole.

now, he probably shift from unbranded china product to counterfeit product.

he told me, he expected if he sold one product around RM20, he expected to earn RM10 in profit. he smugly told me "you dont know meh? its factory production cost"

is profit margin this high?

i dont want to interfere with him anymore, i am real tired. Therefore, i wont know whether what he sell its authentic or not.

But i heard from him, he doesnt intend to declare income.

I also hope tax man also cut him some slack, even of he didnt declare, he isnt in taxable bracket.

Oh dear. Sorry to learn about this bro, you’re a good brother… and one can only hope your advice doesn’t fall on deaf ears.
