Ted Baker Shirts @ VivoCity

Yesterday, we decided to explore VivoCity at HarbourFront, Singapore. I was actually hoping to catch the Christmas Sales and wanted to get a few shirts before the mad rush during the weekend.

To my utter disappointment, there were no sales. I guess they are waiting for next week before they start their Christmas Clearance Sale. (I think they know that people buy Christmas Gifts last minute so its better to entice them later instead of now.)

Well we then just walked around to see the Men’s fashion. Zara had the typical clothes and wasn’t interested in any except for a unique t-shirt (i will post it when i buy it) . Same with Giordano/U2/G2000. Gap was atrocious with it’s ridiculous line of fashion for men though that didn’t stop people from buying it (honestly over-rated thanks largely to it being an American brand & typical Singaporeans going for brand and price rather than quality & design). Topman line concentrated heavily on the typical teenager/young adult fashion blaring it’s alternative British look. River Island too seems to be a copycat of Topman.

However, i chanced upon this quaint nice looking shop known as Ted Baker. It looked just like a typical boutique having the same lines of clothes. What a false assumption that would have been! It was indeed a TREASURE TROVE!

Ted Baker is a boutique GOD-SEND (can’t avoid the connection to Adam Monroe of Heroes Season 2). It’s a gift from the heavens as it’s style is utterly unique and original with a touch of class. Its designs avoided the typical bland stripe shirts which are everywhere now and the quality of the shirts are simply to die for. Touching it alone can make you go like “I wanna wear this for the rest of my life”.

Here are samples

The only disadvantage is that it’s kinda expensive. Around $100 – $150 for a shirt due to it being a London brand. However, i am eagerly awaiting for their Christmas Sale. Hahaha. Happy Shopping PEOPLE!

No truth Indians are poorest community

Source The New Straits Times
KUALA LUMPUR: The Hindu Rights Action Front’s (Hindraf) claims that the Indians are the poorest community in Malaysia are false.

Economic Planning Unit (EPU) director-general, Datuk Dr Sulaiman Mahbob said that the average household income for Indians in 2004 stood at RM3,456 a month, while Bumiputeras only had a monthly average household income of RM2,711. For the Chinese, monthly average household income was at RM4,437.

Sulaiman said that the poorest people were the indigenous communities living in Sabah, Sarawak and the rural populations in Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah.

——————————————————————————————

It is true that the Bumiputera’s are the poorest in the nation. However, there are points to note. Are the North Indians counted under that demographics of the Indian population? This will severely affect the statistics due to their business connections.

Furthermore, is it a viable excuse for the Government that since the Indians are not the poorest, we shouldn’t help them? The Government has to help the poor, not caring about race or religion.

HindRAF’s Mistake

I am a fellow Indian and i visit Malaysia quite often for my business dealings there.

From what i have seen with my own eyes, the Indians in Malaysia are being marginalised. They are poor, many have little education, living in either government low cost housing or slums and are unable to find high paying jobs. There is a problem in Malaysia as the Indians are being overlooked by the Government.

And let me assure its the Tamils or southern indians. Not the Northern indians as they have always been business people and have already built a strong foundation in other parts of the world.

Indians make up 8% of Malaysia population of 25 million people. That comes up to about 2 million indians.

I was at first happy when HindRAF came up to bring light to the Indian’s plight in Malaysia. It’s about time that the Government helps them. Although they started off quite controversially with the demolition of Hindu Temples. I was hoping they would move on to other issues concerning education, housing, jobs and social problems among the Indian population thus gaining support and aid from the Government.

Unfortunately, it had to do it’s first mistake. It incorporated other parties and wanted to highlight the Chinese’s population problems. Once incorporating other parties, it shows that it’s no longer fighting for the Indian people but to gain a political advantage. It’s aims now are unclear as it’s stances are quite questionable. Honestly, it was a shining star only to have itself get dirtied by the mud of politics.
