1. Prices and Bargains
Before you buy anything, make sure you check and double-check the price. In the major shopping malls (e.g. Takashimaya) - it's usually safe to assume that prices are fixed. However, if you're shopping in 'bargain' area like the Bugis Village flea market, Lucky Plaza, Little India, Chinatown or Sim Lim Square, make sure you bargain and try to bring down the prices.
2. Credit / Charge Cards
Most major shopping centres and malls, along with restaurants, will accept credit cards and charge cards. However, be sure that you bring along a more acceptable kind of card like Visa or Mastercard. I can't vouch for the wide acceptance of other cards like American Express or Diner's Club.
3. Money Changers
There are many money changers on the island. What I'd be careful with regarding money changers is this - watch out and make sure they are licensed. In Little India and probably Chinatown, there tends to be many unlicensed changers who may short-change you if you're not careful. To be safe, you can change money at a bank or the hotel - but it will be more expensive.
4. Sales
As mentioned, there are sales throughout the year in Singapore. One of these is the Chinese New Year sale around end January each year, along with the Great Singapore Sale (June and July) and the Christmas sale (Dec). Be sure that your shopping trip coincides with one of these sales if you want the best bargains.
5. Deposits
Some stores will accept an initial deposit and allow you to pay up the balance upon delivery. Make sure you understand the exact terms and conditions of such arrangements before you sign on the dotted line.
6. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
All goods and services in Singapore are subject to a 3% GST tax. Be sure you're aware of this when you're out shopping. Check the receipt to ensure there is no over deduction.
7. Exchanges and Refunds
If you find that the stuff you bought is faulty merchandise, you can bring back the original receipt or proof-of-purchase and ask for an exchange or refund. But note that mostly only the bigger department stores will honor such a policy. If you have fault goods from a small street side vendor, then don't expect to be able to do this.

Kuala Lumpur receives substantial rainfall across the year, and during this time the humidity increases even more. Due to the consistent weather, tourists visit here throughout the year and there is no particular season which is considered best to visit Kuala Lumpur.
Temperature ranges between 29° Celsius and 35° Celsius during the day and between 26° Celsius and 29° Celsius during night. However, it does get comparatively cooler after a shower, which occurs regularly. Bordered by the Titiwangsa Mountains in the east and Indonesia's Sumatra Island in the west, Kuala Lumpur is relatively cooler than most places in Malaysia, and is comparatively less affected by monsoon winds coming from the east or west. The mornings in Kuala Lumpur are bright and sunny which last till the afternoons, while the evenings usually experience rain and occasional thunderstorms. Humidity is quite high and is usually around an average of 80 percent.
The monsoon season begins around September and continues through April, and is brought on by the southwest monsoon winds. The eastern monsoon gets stronger between the months of October to January, and the city experiences heavy rainfall with regular thunderstorms. Between the months of March to April, there is another monsoon that comes from the west and hits directly, bringing in quite a bit of rainfall and high humidity. Following periods of heavy rainfall, the weather does get a little colder. On an average, Kuala Lumpur receives 2,266 mm of rain annually.
The months of May, June and July are considered to be the dry months and there is some respite from the rains. These months are characterized by sunny days and pleasant evenings. However, even the dry months receive an average rainfall of 125 mm per month, and the showers are accompanied by the occasional, short thunderstorms. These storms often have a calming effect on the weather and the temperatures drop making the weather pleasant.
There is no particular season which sees a substantial increase in the number of tourists visiting Kuala Lumpur. In fact, due to the fairly stable weather and moderate temperatures, the city is frequented by visitors almost throughout the year. There is some festivity or other happening here almost across the year which ensures that visitors have something interesting to look forward to. The hotels in Kuala Lumpur offer attractive hotels deals to attract tourists and ensure that hotels remain busy throughout the year.

First rule in executive protection: don't make any more enemies. To do this start cultivating professional networks with the hotel security staff. Meet with the security director as part of your advance work. Communicate with him or her effectively and seek the advice from hotel security directors they know the hotel and the area best.
Ask for assistance directly oriented towards your principal's safety and convenience. This should include special parking privileges, use of a private elevator, additional security patrols near your principal's hotel suite, etc. Kindly as the hotel security director to ensure that your instructions are followed.
During your visit maintain respectful and professional relationships with the entire hotel staff as well, but don't be chummy, Don't look at the executive hotel as a temporary rooming house. Think of it as a place to build your support network, gain the ability to tap into professional relationships, obtain special insights and allocate resources directly towards your principal's safety and comfort requirements.
By using these methods you will have a hotel security staff who care about the protective and comfort needs of your principal. Building these support networks translates into more security, privacy, flexibility and less headaches. These connections will allow you to do your core job of executive protection better and help you achieve great assignment success.
By taking advantage of the hotel's security staff you will have a network of professional who care about your security wants, needs and desires during your stay at the hotel. The only problems come to agents who make outrageous requests without first expanding their network and influence at the executive hotel. Do this and you will have a staff of people at the hotel making you feel that everything is being done just for your principle. These deliverables are priceless in our industry. Keep safe and God speed.

In our lives be them business, professional or personal, unless we can clearly crystallize specific terms that we use every day, we end up hitting more often than not the wrong targets. For example, can you define the following words for yourself:
- Success?
- Purpose?
- Passion?
- Values or business ethics?
- Quality?
- Professional?
When we think of someone being a professional, we look at specific behaviors that this person demonstrates. These behaviors may include:
- Dress
- Personal cleanliness such as clean hair, clean nails, etc.
- Speech from actual spoken words to syntax
- Body language
- Actual physical and verbal interchanges
Possibly, we can use the word pro as an acronym using 3 additional words to better define what we mean when we say pro.
The first letter is P. People who are Pros or are professional are very personable. They reach out and look to others to help or to be helped by.
R is the next letter. Solo professionals must always be respectful. Being everything from errand runner to billing clerk to sales professional demands being respectful to everyone. This is sometimes a challenge with all the changing of the hats solo professional experience every day as they run their businesses.
O is the final letter. By being open, solo professionals have the ability to maximize opportunities and thus work smarter and not harder.

Rantau Abang is completely different from Kuala Lumpur. Some years back it was famous for the beautiful leatherback turtle until tourism and crowding affected the nesting patterns. Today turtle sightings are rare but the beaches are still a popular holiday destination for Malaysians. Georgetown, Penang's major city is a reflection of Malaysia's colonial heritage. The lovely old buildings are reminiscent of Britain. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and has architectural contributions from China, colonial Britain and local community. It has many interesting places and is a tourist friendly place and most tourist attractions are accessible by walk
Sandakan, a city in Sabah province is a good getaway for wildlife enthusiasts. The Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation centre and the Turtle Island National Park are both around Sandakan. Wildlife enthusiasts love these two places. Kota Kinabalu is another city in the Sabah province and the two areas are noted for their fresh seafood. As proud as Malaysia is of its diversity, Kuala Terengganu is the mainstay of the Malays. This is where the Malay culture and heritage is best viewed. It has many beautiful mosques including the lovely floating mosque. It is the gateway to several gorgeous beaches and islands that are found along the coast.
Across Malaysia, the cuisine reflects the multi ethnicity and the multicultural nature of the country. The food reflects its history and is happy amalgamation of Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisines. There are also lovely contributions from the many indigenous natives of Malaysia. The Malaysian cities have as much to offer as their more popular island counterparts. In the end visitors have only two words to say to Malaysians for this truly Asian experience-Terimah Kasih means Thank You in Malay.
