Yesterday i just heard my friend said pandan indah got a cafe called island red cafe, like oldtown style restaurant, now got 4 branches in malaysia, they're melaka, penang, puchong & pandan indah. It is doing mlm way like recruiting more member to join then got commission. He said only need to invest RM6000 then enjoy every month 5% fixed guarantee return without recruiting any members.

Any guys here heard of this?

It's not so much MLM, but what they are doing is promoting the offering of shares to public which falls under the prospectus regulations of the Capital Market & Services Act.

Not to worry, I have informed the Securities Commission authorities and they will undertake their own undercover investigations.

My advice, meanwhile, is to avoid such things.

when it sounds so good to be true...
then you might inside the trap.

please tell me what company can get back capital in 20months?
I rather put the money into mutual funds , than risking the 100% with this Red Island thing.

From the Deed of Mutual Agreement:

7. Further, should the Business be wound-up either voluntarily or upon a Court Order, the proceeds from the sale and/or disposal of the Licensor and the Licensee’s assets, upon being realized, shall be distributed to Shareholders who have not received their first twenty (20) monthly payments, and thence to be followed by the other Shareholders, again in the proportion to the lots held, and shall be treated as if the Shareholders were secured creditors.

It is ok if u dun believe it nw.
Perhaps u can wait until IRC become famous and opened more than 10 outlets in Malaysia and only invest on it.
Everyone must measure the risk & return & if ok with it then only invest.

Since this is another type of investment, I wouldn't say this business will 100% success, what I can help to make IRC work is make sure i recommend more friends to hv their meal there,  .

what other business gives similar returns like IRC... 5% fixed...

does anyone here involved in this MLM and successfully gained the 5%?

Hi all, I'm one of the investor in this Island Red Cafe.
First time i heard this, I feel that the concept is awesome. Anyway, I still spent more than 1 month period to do some survey before decided to invest it. I even seek opinion from a lawyer about the legalize & the S&P lawyer letter provided by IRC for the benefit guarantees.
Let me summarize the information i have about this investment concept.

Island Red Cafe (IRC) Global Partnership Franchise Business:

1. Whenever the region accumulated 50 slots investment, an IRC will be opened. 1 slot = RM6000. The investor will be the shareholder of the company & the royal customer and definitely will brings up more customers to the cafe. In short, win win situation for the shareholders and the company.

2. Shareholder's benefits:
i. Fix return RM300/slot (5% of the investment) for 1st and 2nd year = RM7200
  Fix return RM150/slot (2.5% of the investment) for 3rd, 4th & 5th year = RM 5400
ii. RM100/slot food voucher given every month & will be give for total 5 years = RM6000
iii. VIP member discount 15%
iv. Birthday discount 30%

Total up the fix return & food voucher, the return is equal to RM18600, which is around 3x return of ur investment.
Imagine if u invest RM2 millions, ur return are RM6 millions after 5 years, 

After 5 years, no more fix return but company will distribute 49% of the net profit to share among all the shareholders.

3. IRC's strengths:
i. Delicious food with vary choices.
ii. Reasonable price, with 6 star expenses but 3 star fees
iii. Good strategy and business plan, whereby the shareholders can share the company's profit
iv. All the shareholder's benefits are black & white guarantee with S/P & stamping from the lawyer, clarify the shareholder's benefits and protect the shareholder's rights.

4. Currently there are 3 IRC outlets already officially opened & operating.

i. IRC Cheras:
15G, Pandan Indah 1/23 B,
Pandan Indah,
55100 Kuala Lumpur

ii. IRC Puchong:
68, Jalan Puteri 5/1, Puteri Avenue,
Puchong 47100,
Selangor Darul Ehsan

iii. IRC Malacca:
G30,
Plaza Malacca Raya,
75000 Malacca

Feel free to ask me more questions & i'll answer it genuine,
