Perodua new MPV: Perodua Alza

After Exora by Proton, Malaysia has it second national MPV unveiled yesterday by Perodua at KLCC. Named Perodua Alza, which the Alza, means "to rise" in Spanish, goes on sale starting from RM55,490 to RM64,190. Perodua offers two version which are standard and premium and the advanced version is coming up next march at the price of around RM70,000. The advanced version will come with complete bodykit, GPS with reverse camera, tinted windows and leather seats. In terms of size, Proton Exora definitely has an edge over the Alza. I think Alza is more to Avanza competitor than Exora. But if you are looking for a car for family with kids, Alza is a perfect choice. So after Exora and Alza, what's next? new Waja replacement? Lets wait and see.

who doesn't like ice cream?

I am wonder are there anyone out there who doesn't like ice-cream? I strongly believe that most of us like ice-cream especially for those living in the tropical country like us. In Malaysia, we can easily get ice-cream almost everywhere. We don't even have to walk far from our house to buy an ice-cream. During hot sunny day, ice-creams are selling like hot cake and the motorcycles which carry small 'fridge' with them with their signature song 'Mat kool mat kool kawanku, mari kita ikut mat kool......' are making good money from selling ice-cream.

So, the demand is there. There is why in shopping malls, high class ice-cream retail stores are available in most of the main shopping mall. There are few popular one such as Haagen-Dazs, Baskin Robbin, New Zealand Natural and Lecka-Lecka. Although their ice-creams are quite expensive but it is worth to try because their ice-creams are different from those selling in tube in supermarket. Try once a while is not a problem especially when there are having promotion. Anyone don't want ice-cream?

New IKEA stores in Malaysia

Currectly, there is only one IKEA store in the country located in Mutiara Damansara which is already 13 years of age. There are news claiming that new stores has been planned in the future. The second new store is likely to open in Tebrau City, Johor. The development in Johor especially in Iskandar Development Region is so encouraging that there will be a good market in the region. With the site for the new store strategically located near Jusco and Tesco, there is no doubt a very good potential market. Besides Johor, Klang Valley is expected to have its second store because of the densely Damansara store. The new store is likely to locate in Cheras and Ampang corridor. The second outlet in Klang Valley is expected to equal existing store. After Johor and second outlet in Klang Valley, the future location is likely in Penang.
