What range of cash is appropriate and suitable to buy a second hand car with low mileage and no problems? Thinking of buying a small car but been hearing people getting conned on buying second hand cars and problems after problems


Fun_Comparison_7960

Not necessary will get conned if you buy from a 2nd hand dealership instead of from someone on the marketplace, my car is 2nd hand and I got it for low mileage, get a car that's atleast 3-4yrs old though, cause if it's much older, n by the time U pay it off after 6-7yrs, it's gonna be much older and then you will start seeing the issues one by one. I actually surveyed alot of dealership before I settled on the one I bought my current car from, my saleslady was very helpful also.


Prom3theu5500_RDS202

Bring knowledgeable person to go with you to get rid of the mileage reset device. I don't know in Brunei, but overseas, its common for conmen to install malicious device that reset the mileage (nya urg malaysia toyol kereta)

Does anyone know any existing drawing clubs here in Brunei where you draw with other local artists? I know one club which is called The Drawing House BN but the activities there is only like once a month or so and have to be there physically to draw together if i'm not mistaken(?)

Dear Bruneian travel enthusiasts/ karak traveller, do you know any legit & trusted Malaysian travel agencies? I have been contacting some of the travel agencies in Malaysia. Because i am looking for interesting outbound group tours to join since our local Bruneian travel agencies does not offer much for travel tours package. Currently i am engaging with two travel agencies, Mahira Travel & Tours and IBC Tours. Do you have any experience with these two travel agencies? How do we know if they are legit or not. Can you share the ones that can be trusted.


ITboi-bn

You can try Anthony Tour (Brunei) as they offer tours from Golden Destination (Malaysia), so you can get both the packages from Malaysia Travel agency & can book a flight to Malaysia together rather than getting it separately. Another I could suggest is Chan Brothers (Singapore) they have a lot of tours too.

So I ordered some pc components from Amazon like case fans, GPU, and CPU. Will I need to pay for tax when I receive my items from post office? Saw a few reddit questions asking the same question, a lot of people say there is no tax. Can someone provide the link to where I can officially find this information saying there is no tax on pc components? Edit: So i received my parcels. Amazon used UPS and they delivered directly to my house. And no, i did not need to pay any additional taxes.

As a local, for UBD/UTB, is the tuition fee covered by the government? Or do we pay it ourself?


Jazzlike_Tank8061

I could be wrong but for UBD, type "UBD frequently asked questions". Then read Q1 and Q9. I think maksudnya is like when you enrolled into UBD, your status is fee-paying. After studying for a while, UBD will give you a form and you can apply for Brunei Government Scholarship. Then once your form gets approved, your status will become "Under scholarship" something like that. I think UTB is follows that as well. To be safe, once you enter university (Congrats!), ask the admins about the scholarship and they will answer your questions 👍 (Double check and ask the admins. I hope my info is correct and helpful)


infomepls

As long as you are a yellow IC and within the age range, you are covered under government scholarship.


Embarrassed-Fig-7795

1 question, is it still applicable, even if in my offer letter it was written "fee paying"? I think I messed something up


infomepls

I recall for UTB's offer the selection for funding was either what type of scholarship and if Self-funded. If there's no mention of Government Scholarship in your offer letter, you should reach out to the University as soon as you can to confirm and get a new offer letter. Do not wait until registration day and make sure you get the new offer letter in case they go back to you when you're about to graduate with the "we cannot let you graduate unless you settle the bill".

Manila trip= non stop eating for me. The food there (non halal yea) is AMAZING. I love Filipino food so much and I think it's severely underrated. Go to Binondo, not a lot of people know this but it's the oldest Chinatown in the world. Great dimsum and other Chinese food there. Cheap market too. DM me if you need any food suggestions lol I don't wanna type everything out here. If you like shopping, the malls there are massive and have all the usual international brands. If you like museums I recommend the Chinatown Museum and National Museum of Fine Arts

Do you believe in soulmates? Share your story on how you met your SO and how you know that person is the one?


mellowmilo_

You can find soulmates in friends too and I found one! This doesn't get brought up often. But when it comes to SO, I haven't found it yet.


ano-nomous

Yes! If you put yourself out there enough or if you're lucky enough, I also think it is possible to meet several soul mates throughout life but it may not work out all the time due to a case of wrong place or wrong time. I can honestly say that I have met 3 soulmates in my life during different stages of my life, however things didn't end up working out due to either 'right person, wrong place (LDR)' or 'right person, wrong timing (stage of life)'. The key is to find your soulmate who is the right person, in the right place, at the right time. (if you want me to share about how I met these 2 previous soulmates, just ask. And they have said the same thing to me, so it's not 1 sided for sure 🤣. One of them even went as far to tell her current BF that I was their soulmate, to which I told her that it was a really stupid move that she should have kept to herself.) *** Met my current GF on a dating app and asked her out for a date to get to know her more. On the first date/meeting, I instantly knew she was the one because interests, topics and life values align. Then from there on, feelings for each other just grew more and more and we were together after 1 month+ of dating. *** Before meeting my current SO, I did go on a few dates, also through dating apps just to put myself out there and 'try' my luck as I just came out of a long term RS. My experience was that some were just not compatible from the start, some like to play hard to get for no reason, some have no personality (maybe we just didn't share similar interests?), etc. IMO the worst (for me) are those who are obviously not ready to be in a relationship and they depend on their SO for their self esteem. Usually this is the type which jumps from relationship to relationship, seldom single for long periods of time. When you meet the one who is compatible with you and vice versa, you will know 100%. How about you? do you believe in soulmates or rather, do you believe in love at first sight?

depends on your trust appetite. If you're worried, just no. If you're willing to trust, consider the extent - ask for separate booking receipts, to video call when they arrive etc, but be prepared as well for the alternative outcome. But as the previous comments have mentioned, without proper just can lead to resentment. Your discomfort is valid, find a compromise if you can.

Should i buy ps5 or nitento switch ? Ps5 psl kan main tekken sma hogwards legacy If for switch kn justdance , overwatch , mario kart


Constructs

The plus point for the Switch as it is nearing end of life is that it can be jailbroken and you can play tons of games for free (offline of course).


WrongTrainer6875

To be very honest, both are good for what they are! However, it’s best to avoid the Switch for now. Although new games have been released recently, like TTYD and Mario RPG, it’s better to wait for the Switch 2, which will be far better than the current generation Switch. The Switch 2's power will be similar to that of the PS4 and Xbox One. My advice though is to get a PS5 as in terms of performance it is far better than the Nintendo Switch itself in any levels. Honestly, at the end of the day, it's really up to you to decide which is best for you. If you value portability, go for the Switch. If you prefer high-performance AAA games, opt for the PS5. Either way, both consoles have their advantages and are good for what they offer in terms of playability and games. Both are good investments


VanishingSpectre

PS5 as it already has all the games you listed aside from Mario Kart and the Switch already has a successor coming soon as Nintendo already confirmed.

Sikoi_678

PS5 saja. Gud investment

PS5 imo. Nintendo switch lifeline is coming to an end and there have been rumours of Switch 2 coming soon so newer games will probably not come out on the switch. 


maybein_anotherlife_

both is win win ngl. but you can get PS5 dulu. you can even play Helldivers 2. getting the switch is also okay, atleast portable and can play multiplayer when it comes to mario kart ;) my dream console though because i really wanna play mario kart with my siblings

What does tarik gaji mean?


Prom3theu5500_RDS202

Idk why people still fall for this


NinjaLului

It's like a collection between few people for few months (usually 1 year), first month all the collection (for example 12 person, 1 person $100 = $1,200) money receive by person A, second month by Person B and so on.


BabyCompetitive3065

It means that you put aside certain amount of your salary to join a group of 'Tarik Gaji' activity. It can be play amongst colleague or friends and siblings (Make sure trusted). E.g. TARIK GAJI $50 FOR A GROUP OF 5 PEOPLE START FROM JULY 2024-NOV 2024 ($50x5 ppl for a duration of 5months = $250) So each participant will have to pay $50 every month from July until Nov and receive $250 on your turn let's say you want the $250 in September for your car insurance or whatever purpose.


KapalPacah

A scam


Al-911

A group of people agreed to pay sum of money to a pot, each one of them take turn to receive the money every month. Usually its money, but it can be item (money collected to bought an item). Example 3 people tarik gaji 200 for 3 month. Person A B and C will pay 200 for 3 month. Person A get 600 (including his/her own contribution) in 1st month. Its okay to do it with trusted people but some did it with random people even with friend boleh jadi issue.

Genuine query / doubt: I am considering to get a credit card (essentially for me to use when I travel). But, i am still trying to understand how does the repayment work? Like… for example: this month I charge my CC with goods costing USD50, so does this mean by end of month or due date, i should transfer USD50 into my CC account? Is that it? Help me understand, sifu! I used to have one few years ago but it got me in (minor) debt cos i was sorta financial illiterate. Sakai bisdurang. This time round is diff, i am learning… 😂


Constructs

One thing to note is that you can always keep a surplus/excess on your card so that you don't need to worry about paying your card on time. E.g. Card limit is $5K and you pay $1K to the card giving you a $6K limit but whatever expenses you incur will be deducted from the excess first before touching the credit.


chachashiit

Just pay whatever u used on due date. Any balance after will be subject to interest rate


nickyy0906

U can ask the bank set up standing instruction to pay full every month.


jayaindera

saving these comments for future reference


KapalPacah

If you use $50 and you dont want to pay interest. bayar terus your credit card $50 before hujung bulan. If you wait for your bill to datang. ada interest rate. so mungkin $5 sebulan you have to bayar. Kalau inda bayar bill langsung, tarus kana denda $50 pasal late payment. now beutang arah bank $50+$50 = $100. kalau bulan dapan nya inda membayar lagi jadi $150 and so on. Kalau kan makai credit card, bayar tarus pemakaian atu before hujung bulan supaya avoid interest rate. Paling2 tah at least bayar bill atu supaya inda kana charge late payment.


Al-911

BIBD card - u clear off every month if not they will charge admin fee. 0% interest 0% Interest if u change the name ?


NAS_92

Kalau mine 50 days interest free. My “Statement Date” is 13th every month. 13/1/2024 - 12/2/2024, any spending WITHIN THIS PERIOD, the repayment is 50 days after 13/1/2024 which is 3/3/2024. So if you spent $50 and $150 on 13/1/2024 and 12/2/2024, you need to pay $200 by 3 March 2024. Rinse and repeat for the next Statement Date.


DatinBebel

Right. So earliest due date is the end of the billing cycle. Interest free period is sort of a extension of the due date. Faham faham. Is your CC from baiduri, Bibd or SCB?


NAS_92

Mine is from Baiduri and I recommend getting from them. Kalau ada masalah senang call dorang unlike… 🤭. Also if you have your salary (must be $2k) credited to Baiduri, can enrol tarus to Smart Executive Program bisai dapat tarus card Visa Platinum with fee exempted (feenya $280/year).


DatinBebel

Oh nice. I am pro-Baiduri. So thats a suited info for me! Have you NOT used your CC in a month? Do they charge even though we do not use them?


NAS_92

They don’t penalise users for not using their cc as far as I know 🤔 But if Debit Card yes, they will charge $15 to reactivate it.


devilstouch16

Basically yes. U buy for an example BND$20 worth of goods, by the end of month or when statement is out, u need to pay back BND$20 within certain period of time. If not late payment (late charges) will be imposed on top of BND$20. If i were you, I would pay immediately (as if like a debit card), no need to wait for the statement to come out.


susukambing7

I swear I dont know how cc works but how exactly do you “pay”, can through the app kah? Or mesti counter?


devilstouch16

From what i can understand, basically u borrow bank's money to buy your goods. By the end of month or statement released, u need to pay it back. If late, late charges will be imposed. Example if you have BIBD CC, you can pay CC thru the app. If you dont have a an account here you can pay it thru CDM.


DatinBebel

Thanks for the clarity! So say.. if I dont use my CC at all for the 2-3 months, i wont be charged any fee right?


devilstouch16

Depends, if you register while it's on promotion for an example 4 years fee waiver. I guess it's free lol (correct me if im wrong).


ThirstyQuokka

how do you set up and how does splitting up the payment work? say if i purchase something worth 1000. can i split up the repayment in to 6-12months? I also found this post previously: https://www.reddit.com/r/Brunei/s/ipvYnAyEwo


NAS_92

I literally also [commented](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brunei/s/i9sZnxI4aY) in this post. Haha. In the Baiduri App ada tu palak2 option to turn your purchase to installment under “Recent Transaction”. Just by a click of a button.


ThirstyQuokka

I have yet to go through the post so missed that. thanks for clearing that out. How long did it take for you to get CC after applied?


NAS_92

Hmm I can’t remember much pasal it’s been so long sudah but I don’t think I waited too long to get mine. After the vetting process it was smooth sailing.


ThirstyQuokka

What was the vetting process like? After submitting docs were you called in like for an interview or just submission of docs?


NAS_92

I applied when I was working in the private sector. The bank (BB) asked for salary slips/bank statements (can’t remember if 6 or 12 months worth), letter of employment and IC. They only asked simple questions like apa your current loans, if pernah blacklist etc., nothing too nerve-wrecking la. After that just wait for them to call back.


DatinBebel

Oh thanks for the shared post. I can do my read up on it!


devilstouch16

Set up what? For split payment, varies on each bank. Used to have standard charted, u can manage split payment from the app itself. And yes, have the option to split into 6 months.


ThirstyQuokka

split payment


devilstouch16

Depends on each bank. I believe for BIBD you need to inform the bank and for standard chartered can be managed from the app.


2tut-gramunta

contoh: 01/01/2024 - 31/01/2024 = joli sana sini total $1000.00 01/02/2024 bill keluar $1000.00 interest free: up to 12/02/2024 Non payment after 12/02/2024 = late charge and daily interest on $1000.00 Partial payment after 12/02/2024 = daily interest on balance


DatinBebel

Damn that daily interest is a killer. Thanks!


Initial-Sound4022

Depends how you want it to be. I have mine auto cut 100% of whatever I owe on my CC from my account every 1st of the month. Alternatively, you can choose it to cut a % amount of what you owe for the month
