I just don't understand why we need to prepaid such a big amount on food(RM3000). On top of that I prefer to go for different kinds of food so that I won't get bored.

well it is almost old town...i order a dinner set of nasi lemak with drinks at rm9.88

wow looks tasty.
but how is the price like? Expensive or not?

well i didn;t say u claim it is a scam by u..it is the way that i;m talking baout by supporting local brand to succeed and not the other way round like others do. about the proton thingy...it is becoz now we know the car and before this it has been names flying here and there just bcoz it is local....and that was those day//of course u can;t remebr it...ur too young mah!

Added on August 11, 2008, 10:06 pmno lah ..dinner set of main dish n drinks at rm9.88 only.

Added on August 11, 2008, 10:10 pmyes! i agree with u..this is another way to make out spending smarter thats all....since i'm goin to eat at STG for few years to come..so i buy a package from them that includes cash reward in the form of advertising fees and include food n drinks too....so by pushing my rm3300 (rm3000 old price) in advance it become more so i can get extra rm6000 from what i put in. so it is like what u do with FD's too....u put money into bank to get something more...if u put rm1 and get back rm1...then what for?

"what makes u so sure they are IN for Scam??" well tis is from ur last post.I duno about you but i seriously think tat u mean "you are saying that it is a scam".Forgot what you typed b4?or dont even understand sentences that you typed out yourself?

ahh ya i was too young to know anything back there,thx for the info.(was trying to be sarcastic,in case you cant sense it).I think you dont actually get my point on the proton THINGY haha as well.okay so why wouldnt we support it back there??

And about the dinner part,haha sorry i m not interested.A dinner will not compensate the 3k invested in,and the opportunity cost that comes along with it,and we are talking about a whole lot of investors,not only one.(please dont reply me "you are just scared" and stuff like tis,it is immature)

You put money in bank or unit trust, you dont have to do ANYTHING. It grows by itself because banks work on those FOR YOU.

Does the happen to STG?

Banks, our money is safeguarded by BNM so it does not lose our money. Not so for STG.

Besides, i had invested Rm3000 to PBB smallcaps unit trust few years back, and increased twice fold in just 2 years plus. And it is compounding and adding more too.

In case if you didn't read my previous posting, here it is. If you do know when the branch in Bukit Bintang will have it's official opening, please inform me. Thanks.

@siliconviper

you seem skeptical over Island Red Cafe but full support for Steven's Tea Garden, 2 of them basically the same concept. Or was it because of Steven's corner reputation?

Then it becomes an investment scheme already.
No longer a prepaid scheme.

Aiyo , u guys bashing here for what? People invest their money its their money la , people that invested also haven't regret and u guys do nothing but juz bashing. If u dun think it worth , juz FO la. Dun kacau ppl do business mah , lolx. Thats what the reality ma , businessman u noe lah. juz face the reality . u dun like this scheme , just don't invest lah. lol

When something is advertised in a public discussion area, it is only common sense to expect all sorts of feedbacks. In short, should one wishes not to expect negative feedback of any sort for anything, then one should not have advertised it in the first place.

Its as simple as that really.

You should also face the reality that no business is ever free from negative feedback.
A feedback is an open opportunity for all businesses to gauge their market value, market standing, and target market needs & issues.

Telling people to FO is a typical loser mentality that is best shoved in the area between your thighs. Others will be contemptuous of you.

1st of all i'm tellin u this is not a scam n if it is a scam i'm the 1st won't join.
2nd. If we'd all being supportive by then..proton will be a great brand worldwide.
3rd. The dinner is i buy me....of course if this is not a scam u should has buy me then dinner. as for ur case...keep an eye on us time to time.

Added on August 12, 2008, 1:49 pmwell i do heard of IRC and they are only similar in few areas and not the key area....u see STeven's COrners back ground are branded mamak with 31 years experience and average turn over rm1.2mil/ mth. The marketing is different in sense of major rewards comes from actual business and minor from members get members....while IRC is mainly relying on mktg plans more than daily business...so in STG the boss also come out to run the STG and not sitting down and count money...STG start with 10mil. loan and not start after collecting ur members money. IRC do have progress too as i saw they open new outlet in pandan indah next to Old town kopitiam..smart move but OTK customer is very strong too....personally IRC the food sucks (sorry this is my 2cents food taste). but STG started with Sunway Pyramid do 2 are in totally different games. time frame for IRC almost 8mths now if not mistaken. STG started middle of April 2008 and we have done something big n get everyone talking about it. STG partners with Touch n Go and E-Genting is not a small project too. See the boss Mr. Steven do the Tea Pulling in front of few UAE customers as an intro of the teh tarik mamak culture so that it can become a culture for the coming years as an international brand.

Do you all know that in Taiwan n Melbourne has 2 Steven's Corner there? they started to built overseas since few years back...now with STG it can realize the mamak empire in near future!

1)1st of all your reply is not relevant to my previous post.
2) you dont get my point,my concern was why wouldnt we support proton,your reply was if we supported proton back there den wat will happen.Try to understand the Q 1st b4 you reply anything
3)The reason why i was not interested about the betting is not that i dont understand it.it is bcz i dont get the logic of betting v something small like dinner on something as big as rm3k x 200k investors.

Hope you dont dissapoint me with your next post by typing irrelevant points.

taiwan got steven corner..coz they invest there

but close shop d..coz no business mah

In the eye of BNM and Securities Commission, without relevant authority approval, it is illegal to collect money from public for investment purposes if it is an investment scheme

Added on August 13, 2008, 2:29 amwhether they is or not u go find out loh....if for investment wise pls go for fund lah like PBB ones not bad what! here is for ppl who like to buy food vouchers and eat...

This post has been edited by siliconwiper.com: Aug 13 2008, 02:29 AM

I had the same feeling like you earlier szaku89, however, i found out later it's not just about buying prepaid voucher and eat, it's more than that. It's about an opportunity and grow together with STG chain outlet. It's a win-win situation at the end of the day, do take some extra effort to understand the business like maybe checking with the peopl involved or best go and check it out at the HQ, talk to the CEO or directors, then you'll understand why they have such a membership royalty programme. Then, you'll understand it's not jut about eating mamak food (of course there will still be many walk-in patrons at the STG outlets but what we are discussing here is particularly the STG business opportunity.)
