Yes, my company filed my return last year. This year's return is ready, but I have to wait for the change in phone number to register so I can receive a TAC. Will they also know about the reliefs I'd qualify for in 2017? As a non-resident, ... Read More

Applying for Maid by Ghess1000
I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find it when I searched. I am applying to have my sister-in-law from Cambodia to come as our helper. My wife has an auto-immune disease and needs help caring for our daughter and home. I ...
Gravitas, Thanks for your response. You truly are a wealth of knowledge. With regards to your first point, when you say non-Malaysian can’t submit a personal application, are you referring to the online system or are you saying I must use an ... Read More

Shipping from overseas stores by Ghess1000
What's the best way to have items shipped to KL from online stores like Amazon? I assume regular mail is not an option. In Singapore, the post office has a service where items are shipped to a US address, consolidated and shipped for a better ...
FYI, Amazon has just launched Prime in Singapore. I don't think they are delivering here yet, but will be in the near future. I also have no idea what products will be available from the Singapore store. Read More
Thai/Indochina groceries by Ghess1000
My wife is Cambodian and very picky about things like noodles, sauces and green vegetables. Is there a good place to find food from the region? We've searched the Internet and have looked at quite a few grocery stores, but haven't found what ...
Wet markets tend to be more local than regional, don't they? At least that was true in Singapore Read More
