If I Could Start An Online Business Again, What Would I Do?
I write this to you in the Starbucks of Great Eastern mall, waiting for a dinner meeting which is 2 hours away, being here early because I didn’t want to get stuck in rush hour traffic.

If someone from the U.S. buys my product, do I need to pay any taxes (e.g. income, sales, etc.) to the Malaysian government? Would I be considered as a business? The ‘official’ stand of the Malaysian tax department is [ Read More... ]
How Do I Start an Online Business?
One of the most common questions that I’ve been asked since I’ve started this blog is ‘How do I start an online business?’ and unfortunately there’s no one instant answer, no one magic bullet that I can say to help answer that question.
